So. my pain point is this: Content Theft is bad, everyone on SLU agrees with this. Raging about it is bad, IMHO. It's rage that was the seed that destroyed the SL Official Forums as a place to post, and what closed Second Citizen.
We can wish LL would become competent. And if wishes were horses, we'd all be eating steak. Anyone who thinks drahma is going to solve the problems of SL is living in a dream world.
Which may be part of the problem. |
I also completely disagree with your post. The main forums were sanitized of critical comments. LL became less and less tolerant of any criticism and cut off channels of communication. It had nothing to do with "rage", it had to do with suppressing an increasingly upset customer base.
The "rage" at Second Citizen is not what caused its closure. Suffice it to say that it was a combination of things that resulted in Mother deciding it was no longer worth it for him to continue. Similar issues nearly derailed this forum as well, but I refused to let it. None of it has to do with people being critical or complaining.
People need any outlet to speak, and yes, to complain, when they have been wronged. We could all roll over and play dead but not everyone is like that. To dismiss valid criticism as just drama or that people are just living in a dream world is overly cynical. There are legal obligations that LL is not living up to, and very valid questions to be asked, and just because LL tries to cut off the opportunity to do so doesn't mean people should just shut up. I am proud to offer a place where people can speak openly.
