And why would one get suspended for 7 days for violating it?

From the ever-entertaining Police Blotter, I present this gem, before I run off to go about my day.

Date: Tuesday, June 12, 2007
Violation: Community Standards: Rules of Conduct
Region: LiaisonLand
Description: Violation of golden rule.
Action taken: Suspended 7 days.

The Golden Rule is a moral principle (the ethic of reciprocity) found in most cultures and religions which basically means "treat others how you would expect to be treated yourself" or "live and let live". I bet somebody has been done for neo-nazism or something like that.

Probably shorthand for the 'heart' of the Community Standards:

From: someone
treat each other with respect and without harassment, adhere to local standards as indicated by simulator ratings, and refrain from any hate activity which slurs a real-world individual or real-world community.

The Golden Rule: He who has the gold, makes the rules.

Seeing as how our currency is 'minted' by Linden lab, I guess they make the rules.

Maybe it was that guy from a few threads back who was pretending to be a Mentor and trying to get New People Naked.

The Golden Rule is an ethical statement which is found in nearly every religion. It is also called the "ethic of reciprocity".

Bahai: Epistle to the Son of the Wolf, 30

"And if thine eyes be turned towards justice, choose thou for thy neighbour that which thou choosest for thyself."

Buddhism: Udana-Varga

"Hurt not others with that which pains yourself."

Christianity: The Gospel of Matthew Matt 7:12, Luke 6:31

"All things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets."

Confucianism: the Analects of Confucius

"Do not impose on others what you yourself do not desire."

Hinduism: The Mahabharata

"This is the sum of duty: do naught to others which if done to thee would cause thee pain."

Islam: Hadith

"No one of you is a believer until he desires for his brother that which he desires for himself."

Judaism: The Talmud

"What is hateful to you, do not to your fellow men. That is the entire Law; all the rest is commentary."

Zoroastrianism: Shayast-na-Shayast 13:29

"Whatever is disagreeable to yourself do not do unto others."

Uhhhh, yeah, right ...
Actually, I suspect the note just above me that a Neo-Nazi or a verbal abuser of some type was banned is most accurate.
