A “Hands off approach to dispute resolution” God yes, it’s so simple and it has worked before, Look how successful it has been in TSO.

I’m sorry, but given the environment i emigrated from in TSO, the last thing i want is to see it Imported to SL. The example you sight was a clear case of Harassment. To those dressed as mimes,, All good clean fun, But i assure you, the Furry didn’t think it was much fun, and was Probably Far from Laughing when his peaceful game play was interrupted by a thoughtless group of Thugs. “All we are saying that the Linden’s had no business inserting themselves into that sort of situation.”??? On the contrary, they had Every right, and for the Furry, an Obligation to step in and halt a Flagrant case of Griefing. Only the griefers themselved defend this sort of thing as “I’m not Hurting anyone” or “Can’t they take a Joke?”

The Lindens may not be perfect, and no system ever will be, But arguing that NO system is better than the Imperfect one we have now is ludicrous.

All a “Hands off” system will do is give griefers, scammers, and other Maladjusted Antisocial types a freer hand in Preying on others.

Keep the system we have, and suggest possible changes to Improve it. But as far as this player is concerned, Surrendering control of the game to the Grief elements because they complain their form of play is being stifled is Not a reasonable option, It is complete Nonsense

Ian…… TSO is doing just right as far as I’m concerned, I’m having plenty of success (despite your efforts to screw it), and if/when TSO ends I may look at alternatives. SL may be one of them…. but my impression of SL is that unless you spend hours geekily scripting your own stuff, there’s actually very little to do… and it’s just another glorified chat room. I really ought to get back into Jumpgate but I just don’t seem to have the time.

Well considering I’ve seen a blood splatter done before at Stage 4 many MONTHS ago, I’m suprised they care this time about it.

And as far as the Lindens go, might as well call them communist in their actions. They don’t have to tell you when, how, or what you did wrong.. just that you did it and you’re being punished for it.

Great way to learn from your mistakes huh?

AJ …TSO is not a gorwing community like Second Life is. Why put forth effort in something that will end, probably sometime thie year

Um, I’ve heard about Ryan Jade’s incident and I know that the Linden’s responses to abuse reports may leave something to be desired but there is no “army of uber-nannies”…considering all the other reports of times where they haven’t responded to problems. There’s probably a reason for the shoddy enforcement but I don’t think there’s any sort of “crack down” or “policing” involved. (It’s generaly known that the Lindens can’t and won’t actively police the grid, except for Liasons stationed at welcome areas.)

The hyperbolie is way out of proportion to the situation.
