Looks like forum moderators have been banned along with workable servers and any semblance of customer service.

Ad farms and hate groups. I will add griefers and finacial/land scammers.

there are other things which I dislike intensely but as I said in another thread, I exercise my discretion and LEAVE when confronted with stuff I don't like or gives me the heebie jeebies.

Ad Farms and Hate Groups. Although I can see a use for tolerating hate groups from the POV of using them as a honeypot for surveillance work... a job I'm glad I don't have to do.

Francesca, I have a couple of BananaPhones buried deep in my inventory. I'll send them to you when I'm in-world later.

Steve Steed, one of the problems with banning self-replicating prims, iirc, is that things like rez-foo, rez-faux, builder's buddy and gun bullets all use similar 'technology'. Don't take that as gospel though as I'm not that much of a techie. Any scripters out there care to clear this one up please?

You are right, but assuming they magically could be banned seperately.

ok... i voted that i tolerate all the above... because i said in my post to the other poll that i dont want to tolerate censorship.

It would be so easy wouldnt it, to say we dont tolerate things like the items on this list... but if i stand by my principles i cant.

I dislike extremely many of the items on this list.. but i wont vote to ban then on the grounds that i personally cant tolerate them. I dont set myself up as the arbiter of taste on SL. Manyof these items have caused me discomfort in SL from time to time.. but i daresay others might say the same about things i personally like or tolerate or take part in.

I am not the judge. If appointed to be a judge on these matters i would have to take a look at circumstances and cases individually. Ad farms? sure they are ugly, but maybe there is a place for them... Tier payments? oh how nice it would be to have the power to ban them, so i could afford to own land.. and how unethical it would be of me as a judge to do that becuase it would make my life easier.

Its never going to be easy, and its never going to be judged on individual cases because LL dont have the time or the staff or the resources to take it that way.

Who would want that job? not I.

Don't ban noob freebie penises...they're SO much fun to laugh at..... :D

But ban Ad farms, ad frams, and ad farms. And hate groups.
Edit: But ban singing banana phones being attached to inappropriate places. Such as where the freebie penises would go... ;)

I voted tolerate all of the above - but I overlooked replicating cubes. Only purpose I can see for them is crashing sims. Would have checked that one if I'd seen it.

I think they should ban prim limits. Insteading of fixing the sky, I think they should've rewritten the database to accept an unlimited number of objects.

You forgot Iggnorance in that list, whats the point in living in a free-world if we can't tolerate anything or anyone around us....

I know....there is no point, I'd just grunt under my breath and move closer to disgruntled others like me...

Of all things I find MOST "broadly offensive" in SL....... Ad Farms.

I'm tolerant of most things, but when you have these giant skyscraper signs rotating across the landscape...... *sigh* :mad:

I just voted to ban hate groups and replicating cubes.

The latter because I think any devices whose sole or main purpose is to frustrate or slow the performance of SL should not be allowed.

I can live with all the other things, just about
