Well looking at the urban dictionary definiton of "Lindened", it may need to be on the filtered list:

1. lindened

verb: Screwed up, botched, ruined. Something is said to be "lindened" when a situation is made worse by an action that was intended to make things better.

This word originated in the Second Life community in response to the chronic troubles following Second Life upgrades.

My brakes were squeaking a bit so I got them worked on - now they are completely lindened - it won't stop at all.

2. lindened

The process of taking something, and in an effort to improve it, making it worse.

Particularly as applied to software programs, wherein updates generally result in more bugs than they fix, or more old features broken than new ones introduced.

"He told me he was going to fix my car, but now it's all Lindened and won't even start."
borked worsened broken inept undisciplined


3. lindened

made worse by an attempt at improvement

The car was having some troubles before I got my cousin to work on it, but now I can't drive it at all, it's totally lindened.

That's why we have gone to using the term "SNALU" when crap breaks in SL.

One does have to wonder how many of the Lindens are ex-military. There certainly seems to be a tendency to expect that they can feed us s*** sandwiches and have us smile, salute and chant "Thank you Sir, may I have another?"

If we're delving into "unofficial military acronyms" the more appropriate one for the lab is BOHICA.

whereas I would make your land group only to control access, then it doesn't matter who the dots are. you can see who is online through the group and make an overture. That's called respecting private space.
My land is access controlled via a land group already. The group has 78 people in it, of which 39 are considered "residents" (allowed to set their home point on my land) and the rest are invited guests or occasional visitors. Probably 2/3 of those people are alts of various residents, so it's pretty rare to have more than 1/3 of them on-line at once.

Checking the group list to see who is on-line doesn't tell me they are in the sim. Just that they are somewhere in SL.

Right now, for example, only 5 of those people are online, including me. But none of the other four happen to be on the parcel. Later tonight, there might be half a dozen on the parcel, and 30+ online.

It's much more efficient, and far less intrusive on everyone else, if I can just hover over the dot on the minimap and see who it is, rather than spamming a list of 78 people to see who might be below me. Especially when they could be at any one of 9 different levels in one of those map locations, ranging from a private bedroom to a public social area, to a skybox assigned as the home of three of my friends.

If a resident chooses to use adult words in their advertising - they will need to be on adult land.


And so *mature* merchants and concerns who stay behind, are to be punished by having to spend a bunch of extra time *guessing* what words are blocking their ads? Advertising is supposed to become some sort of word search, or crossword puzzle?

Guess the word that's blocking your ad and win valuable prizes!


IS that the way it's supposed to work, blondin? Is trying to stop a small but determined number of people willing to spend the time to parse out your search terms really worth all that hassle?

And before you say "Well why would they use those words?" let me remind you that even a *pope* sometimes says the word "cock" in church- and you have a bunch of words in there that are just as hinky.

Dual uses, technical terms which might be needed for educational purposes, that's one heck of a lot of "case by case" judgments, isn't it?

An awful lot of man-hours spent sniffing ads to see if they stink.

Well Cyn did acknowledge at the BB on Monday, that people buying land now would be able to move if they qualified for the move. Maybe we should have a "sex up" second life campaign and everyone that wanted to move should make sure their parcels were sexed up, advertised as public sex areas and in search then we could all move as Cyn said it was ok.

Just a thought of course ;)


What a great Idea and perhaps we should all start hosting grid wide 'Ursula Sucks' party nights and listing them in the events section too.

Wish I could be a fly on the wall when Cyn tells Jack, what she told us, after he told us last week, that his team would be checking back over the records to make sure that no one was deliberately sexing up their parcels to qualify for a free transfer... LOL - what a buggers muddle! Everything about this cack handed plan is a farce and should be ridiculed mercilessly.

But on a serious note, many people, myself included, are genuinely worried and upset and confused - and while the management teams assigned to this shambles wallow in corporate roleplay and waffle at their Brown Bag Meetings (good name - right color and stinks) talking a lot and saying nothing, they are also displaying an ignorance of customer relations that is jaw dropping and insulting.

What I'm hoping is that cyn/jack etc are actually coming through on the statement that everyone who wants the move can have it.
What, when?

This is why the word list should be known. This was raised at the brown bag yesterday and they couldn't understand why people would want to know it, this is precisely why people want to know the word list.

ok not really, I'm just putting words in their mouth. During the brownbag when they were talking about it they made no mention of checking out the sim for smuttiness - just that if you had a place that you advertised and it was related to adult activities then it had to go.

so I'm taking that as an indication that we're all going if we wish. I'm at the stage now that if they won't clarify then I will take my interpretation and run with it until they clarify.

Doing that certainly unnerved jack over the move window last week.. and if they're saying I can take as long as I like then I will.. I'm aiming for a couple of years atm. I'll just put a box around the adult content that will still need to be moved and put up a sign saying "don't look!"

in the end everyone who wants a move should get it. So I say that everyone should apply when the list is open. Why should we have to do their job and self select when they won't even tell us what we're selecting against?

and if everyone wants to make sure they just do "teh sexxxx" on one of their parcels to make sure.

a 30L show in places and a couple of the freebie sex toys that were knocking around a few years ago should do it.. particularly if you rename them with those naughty words we're not allowed to know about.

eta: and since no one was interested in me creating the snow bunnies free sex room and diner franchise you're on your own. which is probably not such a bad thing, it will allow you to exercise your creativity ;)

edit 2 - and I should have changed that jack to jp/kend. I'm just going by what they say now.. after all Cyn is jack and blondin boss and kend is the lawyer (I have no idea who this jp person is) so they should know..

I think we should organize a sexing up SL campaign for those that want to move to Ursula and events as well we will make ours this week an Ursula sucks party and will get it on the events listing :)

On the serious note I totally agree with you but things change and we can't change the LL rules but I think its about time we played LL at their own game and sexed up SL for those that want a move for whatever reason to Ursula.

I would read the first definition for that when I was trying to eat. :)

Hmm, where the term comes from, where they are based .... an in-joke maybe?

I would bet that I've been ignored as often as you have in these threads. I'm not to the point of shooting the messenger yet, though.

Oh. This is new to me. But what do I know about the Lindens, while sitting here in small Austria, surrounded by the alps at the butt of the world, rolling eyes all day since this adult thing started.

Military.

Hmmm.

I thought they are a 40 years belated hippie commune trying some first time business in their lifes or something like that.

But military...

For that they show not much courage when it comes to essentials, is my impression.

Maybe they were experts in camouflage and hiding things in their former military jobs.

Based on what you describe - I don't see why you would have to move to the Adult Continent.


Thanks for the reply Blondin, but now you have me confused.

As I explained in my first post #1482, I sell animated furniture, mainly beds with sex animations in....
Are you saying that I can stay where I am on my "mature" half sim, and that all residents can come to my shop and buy my sex beds?

Won't this be breaking the new rules?

Are you also saying that I CANNOT advertise them as "sex beds" in order to appear in search?

Tell me please...
How will I get people to come to my store?
How will they know what kinds of beds I sell?
Will they be shocked when they arrive to find I have adult animations in my furniture?

From what I can gather so far it seems I will be forced to move to Ursula if I want to be able to advertise my beds properly, and be free to use the relevant search words that are needed to attract customers, and make any money.
So may I refer you back to my original post and the questions I asked...?

1) Why is it not possible to stay where I am and have my parcel marked adult?

2) Why is it that I purchased mature land under the assumption that it was exactly that, "mature", and now I have to move because it's no longer acceptable to use it for mature adults? I feel I have been mislead.

3) Why can't under 18's simply be kept to the teen grid and SL be left as it is? What is the point of the teen grid after all?

4) Why can't a new PG area be made for those that want it? I suspect they are in the minority, so why upset the apple cart for the majority?

Questions 1 & 2 are particularly important to me... I would appreciate an explanation as to WHY the Lindens cannot mark parcels as adult. I simply cannot believe that this is impossible.
Also I feel I have a valid point on the fact that I was led to believe mature mainland could be used for anything when I bought it in 2007.
Surely you must see it as unethical to simply change the rules after I have bought the land and spent countless hours building a business on it.

Yeah.

The original statement was...


So, it really doesn't sound like adult stuff is even close to her main thing and that she could probably fiddle with the parcel keywords and end up staying on mature mainland.

Or do you really think it sounds like an "adult oriented business"?



I stand corrected. I should not have refered to the business in question as "adult oriented".

But I do believe that my point is still valid. Blondin said that she wouldn't have to move even though she did indicate she sold furniture with sex animations in them. For Blondin to say that, he must have assumed that she also would not acknowledge the fact that sex animations were present in her advertising, which may be true, but I don't think advise on whether she would have to move or not should be predicated on such assumptions.

Edit: ^^^ What Natasia said (should really read the rest of the thread before responding)
