So many avoid the payments due to the lack of real benefit and choose to purchase greater amounts of Lindens instead. I'm not an attorney and won't comment on the legal aspects, but I will say that the Premium account aspect would seem to encourage budgeting when it comes to Second Life. When a person is already paying a set amount to access a "game" they're more likely to limit themselves when they're spending beyond that set amount. Those who are entering without the Premium account and purchasing Lindens to buy what they want to enhance their Second Lives might be much more likely to drop $50-$100 or more without a second thought. It does strike me as very poor business practice to treat individuals who are probably dropping more funds into your company than someone who is "Premium" as someone with lesser value. Beyond that, failure to deal with criminals when they are reported, regardless of who reports them, allows the criminals access to the highly-valued "Premium" members.<br /><br />Thank you for sharing the legal information. Again, that is something I have no expertise about and can't comment on, but I do hope it will give our readers the means to deal with Linden Labs if they find themselves in this unfortunate position.Merrick Genesishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17785940460089981568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5747423720238171478.post-65354886769692211152012-10-07T16:58:33.937-07:002012-10-07T16:58:33.937-07:00Something to pass on to any victim-- If Linden Lab...Something to pass on to any victim-- If Linden Labs has received money in any way from a resident, they are required by law to provide recourse and customer service. This applies to anyone who has bought linden dollars especially.<br /><br />Don't let LL get away with, "You aren't Premium, so you don't have rights." If they pull this, call their billing department and inform them that you will be taking legal action under your country's or state's commerce laws if they don't help you as a paying customer.<br /><br />A person who buys Linden currency IS A CUSTOMER of LL under the law. It is for this reason, along with just good business ethics, that Blizzard will work to restore all hacked accounts drained of all assets to their former state. LL needs to follow this example or be forced to.<br /><br />I find LL's stance on this interesting in another way: Often, those who buy Linden Dollars spend much more money on SL than those who simply maintain a premium account. I used to buy L$10,000 a month for an average of $38. You would think they would value my business just as much, if not more, than the customer who only pays $6.95 a month. Yet, being I am not a premium customer I couldn't even get an email response. Guess what? I don't buy Linden Dollars any more, nor will I get a premium account while LL maintains this stance.Korhindihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02041257468804815995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5747423720238171478.post-81908261149107691402012-10-05T11:48:02.998-07:002012-10-05T11:48:02.998-07:00And as for that terrorist Ramonzita shamelessly co...And as for that terrorist Ramonzita shamelessly copybotting people's shapes, the reality of the matter is this.

Back in 2008 (I had a facelift...you wouldn't know by looking at my profile how old my av actually is), when people began to realize that fundraising could happen in Second Life, I wrote an article about this for a magazine I worked for. I'm planning on doing a blog post about this sort of thing after this next issue of Blithe SL Magazine is released, however, we wanted to get our policy up since we are very focused on community and do want to help raise funds properly in ways that make a real impact.Merrick Genesishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17785940460089981568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5747423720238171478.post-24499489320436531122012-07-09T06:29:03.073-07:002012-07-09T06:29:03.073-07:00Good article: Unfortunately, unscrupulous people ...Good article: Unfortunately, unscrupulous people will take the name of a charity, and claim they are connected to it, use someone else's name that IS, and end up taking your money as well as hundreds if not thousands of others. something that might seem like a worthy cause, or well known charity, may be spoofed by an individual for they're own take. More people need to pay closer attention to basic guidelines when considering donations. It is too easy for many to pass around kiosks for unsubstantiated events or fund raisers. Before tossing money into one of these kiosks, take a moment to think about it first, just because your dropping a large amount of cash, doesn't make it a better charity or even a legitimate one.MarkusNYChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14478715275375314171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5747423720238171478.post-91556511143168630172012-07-06T12:13:56.150-07:002012-07-06T12:13:56.150-07:00Awesome post.

I guess I should know that where there's technology, there are always problems. The No Copy isn't a deterrent for me personally, since I'm pretty committed to the one shape that I use, but I can see how it might inconvenience someone who changed his look regularly. <br /><br />I hadn't really thought about the scripts causing lag. That point concerned me, so I went home, put on all the jewellery and a belt that I'd bought and measured the script load. The device I used to measure assured me that the total scripts numbered 34 and the total memory 1656k. The device then congratulated me for having under 3mb of script "weight." While I wouldn't wear every single piece of the jewellery I own to a nightclub or other crowded event, I think for regular use they would be okay.Case Eulerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15547791733557045773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5747423720238171478.post-38069319470256272742012-06-28T12:03:32.492-07:002012-06-28T12:03:32.492-07:00Great design work and very pretty, but sadly, virt...Great design work and very pretty, but sadly, virtually everything is No Copy, No Mod & No Transfer.<br /><br />That makes it a no buy for me, especially the No Mod, since resizers often fail. Nothing like the joy of dropping good money on something that won't fit.<br /><br />The other issue is that it is No Copy. What this means is even if the scripts can be deleted, the wearer won't since he can't change the size after that (Since he can only have one). If someone is wearing a lot of this jewelry, they become script and lag central.Korhindihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02041257468804815995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5747423720238171478.post-33412039738252183602012-06-11T18:52:00.747-07:002012-06-11T18:52:00.747-07:00Point well made - thank you for the replies, appre...Point well made - thank you for the replies, appreciated. :-)Mirohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05727458166894563254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5747423720238171478.post-47894675777339199252012-06-11T18:09:27.367-07:002012-06-11T18:09:27.367-07:00I'll have to direct you to Doc Spad or Khariss...I'll have to direct you to Doc Spad or Kharissa Indigo in regards to these questions as no one from Blithe SL is part of the Second Pride committee.
