Since when did they develop ANY ethics?

This totally is in line of the ethics of BILD/Axel Springer. Welcome to RL.

I wish the “Bild Zeitung” would desolve as well Fred.

AvaStar DESOLVED the in world group for their staff writers and distributors.

There are still two groups relating to them left at this time.

Let’s see what happens…

Chavo, we see the results?

The TOS explicitly states that you cannot copy transcripts *in Second Life* (inside the world of SL) and on the forums. LL has no jurisdiction outside of SL on third-party sites, and claims none. I recently reconfirmed this.

Uri, I don’t wear tube socks.

“Crowd intelligence can fail (and fail spectacularly) when there’s too much information passed between members of the crowd. Members start to alter their opinions based on the opinions of others, which skews the results. The online communities that build up around any popular game would seem to promote exactly this kind of skew.”
David Edery
The article and related comments are confirming the theory above. A mixture of ideological partisanship and anti-corporation coalition.
Anyway, guys, everybody knows that Second Life is ONLY A GAME. The players are there to have some fun, to share ideas and to partecipate in the community. Brands and corporations are just taking part of the community. Real life is hard enough – wars, fights, terror and death. It doesn´t make sense to fuel hostility in virtual world. Second Life could be the the best of all possible worlds or the worst. We are free to decide the game we want to play.

Wow traffic of 2277, that is completely amazingly, unimpressive. My little sandbox is regularly over 5000 and no one is writing about that, and I don’t have a big PR campaign.

Those traffic numbers must be from all the Herald Paparazzi camping the place.

Mako, that is IF and WHEN we hear from the Avastar.

I was AR’d for that. Ikarus Santos also threatened to AR me and my dear friend Billie Scaggs for “griefing”, which he and I have done nothing of the sort.

As far as to go and seek my personal information? That’s a bit too far, but if he must, let him come.
