This profile picture of a bot operator indicates "Weedy Smells"
If not harrasment or defamatory, what purpose does this serve?

Is this harassment? |

Perhaps an indication that marijuana smells awful??? I dunno; but, it certainly isn't AR worthy. After all, I could say that Philip Linden smells...but, then, that is a matter of opinion and also is covered under free speech.

We don't have noses with olfactory glands in SL and I've certainly never met the man IRL. _____________________

Question is, how do you know it was directed at you?

I would say it is no worse than the harrassment going on in the mainland sales listings in game. Honestly though I can barely even see what it says in the picture. It looks like HEEDT SHELLS on my crappy screen.

Question is, how do you know it was directed at you? Have you seen my name? What purpose does this serve for a bot operator and how does it relate to his business? Profile pics (usually) are a graphical representation of standing in SL. _____________________

Sorry to imply you have done anything. I only meant it seems alot of things that should be ARable seem to go unnoticed by those in charge.

There are about 40 Weedys, maybe one or more of them do smell.

While everyone is entitled the their opinion, I fail to understand how defamatory statements and/or harassment are an appropriate recourse. _____________________

One should not give their tormentors even the slightest clue that they are getting to you.

Weedy, I honestly wouldn't sweat this if I were you. Be above the child's play. Ignore it. It will happen when you're vocal about issues. This doesn't seem worth your trouble to go after.

Eight people have brought this to my attention in the last hour. This profile picture of a bot operator indicates "Weedy Smells" If not harrasment or defamatory, what purpose does this serve? harrasment to whom? Not sure it would go well being it doesnt have a full name.. _____________________

It doesn't seem coincidental that this happens right after a lively debate in a SL forum about land bots where you are clearly against them. However, don't let that level of immaturity bother you. "Weedy Smells" sounds like something a first grader would say to another classmate at recess.

"Weedy Smells" sounds like something a first grader would say to another classmate at recess. ![]() ![]() You are right about the first part. The whole point is, although I've never broken any rules in my efforts to stop bots, those who operate them have. Aside from the disproportionate use of database resources, they have accuse me of harassing them, because I chose to teleport them from my land, and free offer advise to other on how to do so. Then of course, we have bot operators running more than the allowable accounts per household, using bots before open source, representing themselves as Lindens, bypassing the AR system to have my scripts removed by Lindens (who incidentally have neither warned me, nor advised me to change anything, nor disallowed it) and now, defaming me publicly in their profiles. Anyone with half a brain, does not need a ton of bricks to fall on their head to know what the intent of this profile is. I seriously doubt there is any other reason. _____________________

Well, I would say that land bots do suck...my opinion only. But, then again I also think Weedy would get no where fast with an AR, too.

Pretty "coincidental" since you just made a thread recently where you spelled out what the landbots are doing.
I predict Landbots will be banned eventually. If they want to keep the illusion buying property is "go look at property, look for bargain, then spend you money" to simulate RL then Landbots have to go If they decide the system automated is better - It seems to me is better ways to automate land buying grid wide than resource hogging multiple logged in accounts running stripped down clients. |

looks to me that someone is waaaay too worried about herself. Do you ever say anything meaningful? Or do you just shoot at people from the shadows like a guttersnipe? Have you ever contributed in an intelligent, positive, meaningful way to ANY thread? I think that someone is waaaay too worried about what other people say on these forums. A bit ironic, no? Get your nose out of the air chicky, you're nobody special, and you're not a forum moderator. You must have had a shitty life to be such a mean person. Sorry about that, but it doesn't give you the right to take it out on everyone else. Sorry to hear of this childishness Weedy, but I suppose it is to be expected from the sort of person who would run landbots. _____________________
