Sharing Chat Logs IS Against SL TOS

Surprisingly, my goal of proving that the countless claims in profiles that these users are allowed to share anything that is logged in private or in local chat is all right as long as they post that claim in their profile wasn't as hard as I thought it would be. The problem is that people can't manage to read the Terms of Service (TOS) for Second Life correctly as it was written. It is clear as the day in the sunlight without rain in the Community Standards part of the TOS guidelines that what is in people's profiles is against another person's privacy rights. I have decided to write a quote from Community Standards #4 titled Disclosure:  "Remotely monitoring conversations in Second Life, posting conversation logs, or sharing conversation logs without the participants' consent are all prohibited." Now it is proven that saying in your profile that you can share conversations that are logged at your discretion with or without the other person's permission is against the TOS. I would strongly suggest that everyone take that profile pick statement out of their profile. Trust me if I see anything in someone's profile that I said posted there without my consent then I will speak to you if I know you but if I don't know you then I will report you for abuse of the TOS guidelines. I know its a sad day in your Second Life when you realize by reading my blog that you are infringing on other people's privacy by posting logs quoted without that person's consent. You can all cry now about it. I am informing everyone so they know the truth on those profile picks' claims are totally against TOS of Second Life and of course if you continue to do it that your account is in serious jeopardy. I don't need to write a long drawn out blog about this because it is right there in the Second Life TOS pages to read yourself. Posting disclaimers on your profile about that TOS guideline doesn't make something illegal anymore legal than it was before.

Also read this about privacy rights:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Privacy

The sooner you read to learn how things work, the better off everyone will be on here. You can only share logs to Second Life support when reporting or inquiring about something being abusive, harassing, or so forth. I believe even sharing private conversation logs with club, store, or Sim owners is against the TOS guidelines. However, if you need someone banned then public local chat logs is most likely allowed to be shared privately with a club, store, or Sim owner. Otherwise it is against another person's privacy rights.

Drama Drama Drama

You know it is usually us females who are seen to be dramatic in so many ways even if what we say is in private and not really considered as drama. I saw today the biggest example of a drama king to the highest order. I was shocked to say the least to see so much hatred and drama in one guy's profile picks that I was thinking to myself "how can he ever love with this much hatred?". It was beyond ridiculous the junk in his profile picks which actually they border on abusive. I was told months ago that there is a mute button for a reason so why aren't these people using it? I will tell you why. It is plain and simple that they love the drama that comes from it and in turn they stir their own drama. I don't even know this guy but even without him attacking me personally I felt offended. Apparently he sees all women on Second Life as his personal kick toys to treat like garbage. I been on here for over a year but you don't see me using my profile as an attack zone. No matter how much you have been hurt on here, posting endless angry picks in your profile is not going to make it any better. It makes me wonder if people who do that realize that you are only giving those who hurt you or your friends the power over you. You may as well say in your profile picks, "Haters you have destroyed me and I'm going to show everyone on Second Life just how much you harmed me" but in the end the haters win and you come out looking like a douche-bag in your profile. I prefer perving profiles of people who share their happy times while listing people who have touched their lives on here the most. Oh yeah and putting down an entire other country in your profile ain't going to fix things in your life or that country's life. There is a wonderful motto out there which is "If you can't say anything nice then don't say anything at all" and obviously some people with crass things in their profiles need to learn that. You can dislike a country's government but when you put down the citizens then that is where I draw a line. People with profiles like this are lucky that I have given up reporting people for such junk. I am doing research into the whole TOS statements in people's profiles where I'm hoping to prove that all these people with those statements are breaking TOS rules of Second Life. I firmly believe that at some point in time that one of the many official Linden Labs representatives will read my blog and put a end to some of the problems constantly occurring in-world.

Clubbing Isn't Me

I've come to the realization lately that I have grown out of the whole club scene on Second Life. It seems like clubs are now seen to me as chaos, crowdedness, and noise which I am not into it in the real world so why should I go to such places on here. This is not a new feeling to me since the way I have felt about clubs has pretty much spiraled down from the moment I left my club job as a dancer/hostess back in March 2011. Its not fun to go clubbing when you are expected to shell out tips of Lindens which you barely have. I hardly spend the Lindens I do have even on myself nowadays. When you come to the reality that if you save up you Lindens that you can trade it in for real money then you no longer want to throw Lindens around like it is pennies. Lindens are not seen as worthless exchange of money but pennies in the real world have slowly become a pain to have since you can't spend them on anything really. I work currently at least 18 hours a week modeling on here which only one of them actually pays me good. I've put in a few applications for club work in the past few months but now I have decided that I am not suited for club work. Never have I ever really liked those gestures that constantly go off in clubs. In the long haul, I find them beyond annoying which is why I hardly if ever use gestures and I mute gesture sounds when I can. I am a serious worker and that kind of worker is not welcome at club staff. Clubs like to have people who are full of energy, can deal with hearing the same songs played over and over again, enjoys gesterbating, and doesn't like to truly have a conversation. Don't get me wrong, I still adore this club who is like a second home to me on here but I prefer it when its not event time and its quiet. I'm a book reader and nature lover in real life where clubs and bars are so far away from me that you'd have to take a long airplane flight to see the distance I put clubs/bars from myself. Such places are just not for me and since I have blended Second Life with real life so much then I don't see the reasoning in doing things that make me miserable on here. Nothing feels worse than going to a club and feel like you being ignored by most of the staff because you are not in the mood to throw your hard earned Lindens to people. I happily tip a live singer and/or the venue because they actually play an instrument then sing songs that they wrote or songs which have touched their souls. Sadly, I don't feel DJs work super hard for their tips since I heard one DJ months ago even admit that they just cue up a player like SAMS then they let it play the songs. Also slowly DJs are talking less and less on air which only makes me feel like they going away from keyboard a lot while ignoring their patrons. The way I see it, more a DJ speaks is the more I respect them. Although I would never be a stripper on Second Life or real life, there is a lot of respect you have to have for them because they make you feel like your tips ain't being wasted by the long emotes they type out to show their appreciation. Gesturing to say "thank you for the tip" is not cool. I have come to prefer hearing my name over a stream saying thanks or get emoted in thanks when I do tip. When I was a hostess at a club, I always made every single person who tipped feel special even if it was only like L$20 but then I am a rare type of worker on Second Life. I have nothing against clubs. I simply saying that it not for me anymore.
