I find it odd that such rubbish continues to this day, but EA can afford the megre loss. So prolly doesn’t even register to them.

Anywho, back to the crusade.

I have been fairly vocal about calling shit like I see it on the SL forums. I use a another handle over there.

About Prok. Prok is the perfect example of going against the “cool kids” in SL. Ran out of town as a result.

Prok tends to be a bit long winded for my taste, however, most of his post tend to be spot on.

It actually PAINS ME to have you be right so much of the time.

I get up this morning to find that my resmod thread – which protested the fact that only resmods can rate the threads now – had been moved back by one resmod.

That resmod noticed that Jeska had officially ruled (after she had moved my thread) that threads about forum moderation were NOT “metadiscussions” after all, and DID belong in the general forum.

She actually did this a few days ago, but left my thread in Off-Topic nonetheless. Hmmm.

So this one resmod moves it back to General because this he believes in being fair, and he sees that Jeska has made this statement.

SO WHAT HAPPENS? The FRICKIN RESMODS rate it a TWO. For “bad.” They DARED to STAMP MY OPINION “BAD”.

Two of them did. Either two of them rated it a two, or one of them rated it a one (“terrible”) and another rated it a four (out of five, and I can’t even REMEMBER what the dang numbers stand for anymore, since we can’t use them, so we can’t even SEE their meanings), but in any case, two ratings, average of 2.0.

At least I hope it was the resmods. I certainly hope it wasn’t Jeska and/or Pathfinder, though I have to tell you, at this point, I definitely wonder.

I liked to think it was just incredible naivete on their parts to think that allowing only the resmods to rate threads was actually a good, tenable idea. Stupid, yes, but maybe just naive and idealistic.

But maybe it isn’t naivete. Maybe it is corruption from the top-down that even the resmods can’t affect positively.

Maybe, Prok, it is the Lindens themselves mistreating their own residents – you, and, for the past year, me, because I’m vocally your friend, and/or maybe just on my own merit, which would be a compliment – because I’m vocal and make too much sense.

If so, it truly is hopeless. Let’s hope not. But even if it isn’t corruption, it’s bungling of the highest order, and I’m tired of people being singled out and victimized because of it. And you weren’t the first, and I won’t be the last, until if and when they ever put a stop to it.

Let’s wait and SEE if some of the jackals ever get shut up, or if they are allowed to pile on as usual.

You know what’s interesting? It – living with it this way for a year now – it has made me have basically zero respect for SL, or any expectation or hope for its future. That is what it has accomplished. Neat, huh?

Mr. F – I just wish YOU would stand up for stuff like that on the forums like you did here (if you haven’t already, under another name).

I wish everyone who ever IM’s me to sympathize with me about what happens to me on the forums or would speak up about it ON the forums. Not just in IM’s, though it’s nice to hear.

Seems like lots of people see what is going on, you wouldn’t know it from what is said on the forums. There, it’s like I’m the only one saying these obvious things, and of course, the counter from the pack of wolves constantly on my back for doing so is that I’m a “martyr” who “has to be a victim.” I mean, gag me with a SPOON.

Thing is, it’s not just me it happens to. And it really doesn’t matter to me that it IS me that it happens to most. That’s only cause I keep on talking instead of piping down and slinking away. Point is, it shouldn’t be happening to anyone. Mr. F told it ike it is.

I’ve got to figure that nobody says anything cause they don’t want the same thing happening to them. After all, it happened to me precisely because I went to bat for two other players they were ganging up on (when I first joined SL), and because I’m psychologically incapable of pretending things aren’t happening when they are, as I see them, so I keep saying so.

Interestingly, some of the resmods apparently see it, too, because some of them have IM’d me about it. So I’ve come to a screeching halt in my anti-resmod tracks. Cause if that’s the case – if there really are people wanting to improve this, but it is easier for them to do it under the veil of the resmod system – well then, hey, I say, the resmod system could be a hell of a lot better than what we used to have.

A. They drop a few levels, and realize they are human, and that other posters are human.
B. They give something back to the community.
C. Start making objects/updates for the game
D. Start playing the game – half if not most Mods don’t even play the damn game anymore.

Anyway, Stratics is flawed, we have Mr E, who doesn’t answer/reply to emails, and doesn’t even play the game. Hmm, thats like Steve Jobs never touching or seeing an iPod. Does that make any sense?

Trish / Mr E / Young / Aster / Most Other Mods – Are Singular, and don’t have a mind of their own. One person says something, and they all agree. Just what we need, a bunch of mindless zombies repeating everything they see and hear.

Anyway, best of luck to the SL players and the Mods. Hopefully, you will have people who are human, and dumb as bricks. Plus, they may even play the game!
