The New Scandal.

[QUOTE=Levi Wilberg]I was googling the SLexchange, and came upon a very interesting page…

A Harbinger Voicemail for sale! On the Main Grid? What?

I scrolled down…

Harbinger Voicemail - Created by Alex Harbinger

 

The Harbinger Voicemail is simple to use, has an awesome design, and is very user friendly. Just set it down, and it’s ready! It can be used to record messages for meetings, shops, houses, an IM-type system, you name it!. To leave a message, just press the "Leave a Message" button (Note: This is intended for others to leave messages for you), and to play those messages, click the "Play Messages" button. (Note: The "Play Messages" button will blink red when there are messages waiting)

 

Commands:

Click on the "Leave a Message" button to activate the recording device. - Anyone

Click on the "Play Messages" to play any messages left for you. - Owner Only

 

Signs:

If the "Play Messages" button is flashing red, it means you have messages waiting.

So I ask… Blue. Since Alex had permission, do I? If not, why?

 

Seriously. Do I have permission to use the same methods as he did to get my stuff there?

Most of Harbinger’s products:

Read above. Infuriating! Just two days ago (about) Levi posted something on the forums that opened up a pandora’s box of questions. It lead to posts like this:

 

[QUOTE=ice Semple]I would have to agree with the idea.

 

You people arguing you would never see people you know, thats what Friends are for.

 

You people arguing you wont be able to sell your products, what do you think will happen when you ACTUALLY get moved to the MG?

 

You people arguing for the economy, what economy? If they were to make Lindex Seperate for teens, the price would drop since MOST teens sell their L$ to pay for premium accounts. Few teens buy L$. On the MG, there are rich people who will buy L$ just for personal amusement. A good example is a friend of mine. He has a well paying job, and spent $1,000 just for his own amusement on WOW. He has spent even more than that setting up, paying for, and running a America’s Army server.

 

For those that will complain ‘my objects are lower quality than that of MG’, again what are you going to do when you move to the MG? And there are also people who like to collect things and would buy it.

 

You have to rember, we ALL will be on the MG someday, there is NO denying it. Even if you come back as an educator/approved Adult/Linden, you will still have to move to the MG.

 

Some people will argue, ‘I need the time to prepare for the MG’. Do you think the people on the MG had time to prepare for it? If you devote yourself and keep your goal insight, you WILL be successful on the MG. Even if its just as simple as making friends or a small business or even one of the MG’s Top Companies.

 

I used to argue against it because i used to feel the grid was not ready, well I feel we are beyond needing a TGMG Mirror, we need to join the grids.

 

I would have to agree, LL CANNOT be held legally responsible for what happens in PG areas. After all, they did not create/do it. Its in the TOS, its not their responsibility. They are only in charge of taking care of/reporting the incident. Do people sue internet companies because other people put up porn sights and the internet company allows your child to connect to the porn sight? I think not.

 

And another thing, the thing about Alex selling on the MG, that WILL encourage illegal making of MG accounts by TG users… Reading that made me want to make a MG accounts, I almost did to. But I have no point since i leave the grid in less than a year.

 

Something to think about before you decide if you disagree with this. BTW, I agree with the judge ruling… It violates 1st Amendment. If their parents allow them to do such things, they should be allowed to. It should not be the Governments problem or responsibility, it is the Parents and School’s responsibility to teach their children whats right and wrong on the internet.

 

and another thing, i like to edit my posts a lot… i have edited it 10X since I posted it…

Now, this is leading the TG into a new dark age. A new scandal. What can be done?
