Wagering In Second Life: New Policy
Now I don't know about you, but I'll bet this is going to be a total bitch to enforce. Seriously guys, where do you draw the line? This is a question that needs a relatively clear answer.
All I can say is that Torley's office hours this Friday are going to be decidedly less civil. Ah well.
What worries me is the abruptness with which this policy is being announced. Governments that abruptly announce an about face on national tradition and prior rules tend to make abrupt turns like this only if they're totalitarian. More fuel for Prokofy, I say.
People are also asking me how I can continue to defend the Lindens after repeated incidences of this. I need to clarify some matters:
- The Lindens I work with are associated with first responses. They help to ensure the rules are followed, and that wrinkles in the system are followed.
- The Lindens I work with do NOT have much say as to exactly how rules should be formed. They also do NOT have much say to voice their opinions on this sort of thing, as to whether it is good or it is bad.
It just wouldn't be fair. It would be something I would be against doing.
