There has been much ado about relatively vague comments that Katt Linden made saying that chat logs posted anywhere could potentially put the user's account at risk. I wrote to Robin Linden and asked her to clarify. She said there has been no change in Linden Lab's policy - third party sites are outside their jurisdiction and they do not discipline for posting chat logs there.

She did say if the policy does change, they will announce it.

They just need to get rid of the chatlog rule altogether. I believe in a right to privacy when it comes to government matters, but for a place like Second Life, with LL's dreams of being a common carrier, you should be responsible for what you type.

I mean, you wouldn't post on Facebook about having a cocaine party if you thought your boss might ever Google your name.

Forum admins could always ban Linden IPs if it came down to it, hehehe.

Thanks, Cristiano.

It sucks it took a letter to Robin to clear it up when it was asked multiple times in the forum thread where it was mentioned and could have been cleared up then. I am glad they are not at this time changing their stand.

boy now I have an itching to post a chat log.... wonder if I have anything for lulz!

So, the new Communications Manager is doing her job so effectively that residents feel they must bypass her completely and contact management directly for answers.

At least we now know. Thanks Cris.

I certainly hope that they will announce it if they ever manage to get that far. Guess there is a good handful of companies who dream of applying their TOS to third-party institutions and would would die to find out how.

On the other hand, I would love to comment on Katt Linden's performance as communications person of LL, but whenever I read about her latest stunt, I only end up shaking my head in total silence.

Captain Obvious says the first requirement of a Communications Officer should be the ability to communicate effectively.

And, is it just me, or does "Communications Officer" sound like some title given to someone in the propaganda department of any run-of-the-mill oppressive regime?

ETA - I guess I won't worry about that until they rename the OI's to "Re-education Centers".

The best chat log notecard ever passed around was Hosequeen's "Spying is bad shit: literally!" If you haven't seen it, give me an IM in world.

I have always been of mind that going to a public place, and typing chat in channel 0, means everyone in Second Life™ will have seen it.

But I am also of the mind that it should be courteous to put up some notification that local chat is being monitored by the people who run the place. Not many new (or old) account holders know this can be done and they may have no IRC experience to teach them this fact.
