A plague of child avatars? I love inventing new collective nouns. How about an exaltation of anti-SOPA protesters, or maybe an Ostentation of Tech Bloggers?

Such well mannered little brats too. Note the IM in the lower corner. Almost as well-mannered as the ones in the real world.

Ahab, it is an IM to Prok - most likely a response to the usual unprovoked, hatemongering way of Prok that we we all know and love. Even the most well mannered little brat will be tempted to react like that. What goes around, comes around.

LMAO! The child avatars creep me out. There is abnormal psychology.. and then there is... abnormal psychology.

Please Prokofy, show us all the chat log!!!

Actually, no. What happened is that I had a nest of actual documented ageplay creeps move into Brown. It was quite the harrowing story when it was all solved. I will blog on it soon.

If they are documented ageplayers why not AR them? Boot and ban leaves them free to violate the tos elsewhere.
Posted by: Lowbridge Highwater | January 21, 2012 at 01:28 PM
Because they are mostly likely only documented in Proks mind.

Um, they were documented and reported to Linden Lab in an AR and individual correspondence in detail. They aren't in my mind but a group of us caught them and all AR'd them. LL is dealing with it now.
The very first thing I do on my part however is boot and ban them from my own rentals. After that LL has to deal with them but of course they were instantly AR'd.
When I have time I'll write up more detail but I'm busy now.

Their profiles remain. This means they have not been banned. I thought linden lab took ageplay seriously.

Child avatars aren't bad.

@Lowbridge: The problem here is that you may be taking Prokofy seriously.
Posted by: Marx Dudek | January 23, 2012 at 09:42 AM
Dear, the problem here is that you take yourself seriously. Are you still upset that your mother called you a communist?
It is unacceptable that anyone in Second Life would ever feel comfortable with child avatars on any land, full stop. The hippy dippy comuuuuuunity Lindens will take action soon. There will be no child avatar on any of my rentals, or on any land anywhere.
If Lindens don't take responsibility, I will quit renting. My large following will do the same after I apply pressure, and that will be the end of the Lindens who dragged their feet.
I will write more about this soon.

Prokofy.."My large following will do the same after I apply pressure."
Yay! Some moar 1L$/m2 'linden land' to come up on the classic old mainland..fill your boots!
How do you actually apply this pressure to your huge following..Whips, Weasel words or just Womanly Charm?
Posted by: Micha Sass | January 24, 2012 at 04:34 AM
Still you claimed that they're documented for ageplay. Does this mean you have evidence which shows that they violated the tos guidlines? Otherwise it sounds like you're trying to remove them because their appearance makes you uncomfortble. That sounds very selfish and I expect the lindens to ignore your every word.
Posted by: Lowbridge Highwater | January 24, 2012 at 08:49 AM
You are so predictable, Prok, it's almost charming.
When it comes to ageplay accusations, SL suspends first and asks questions later.
I call BS.
Of course, if you feel LL isn't handling the issue, I would support your decision to leave the land rental business.
After all, you predicted LL wouldn't exist after this year - cut your losses while you can, yeah?
Posted by: Marx Dudek | January 26, 2012 at 01:55 PM
What a total asshole you are.
LL doesn't always suspend first, not when they can't prove it themselves.
It's not BS, but I'm not required to furnish YOU proof. Piss off.
I don't think Second Life as we know it will persist, no. I see a number of signs of that.
There'd be no need for me to "leave the land rental business" just because LL didn't prosecute people I suspected were age players and removed from my rentals. That's fucking stupid. YOU are fucking stupid.
Posted by: Prokofy Neva | January 28, 2012 at 02:49 AM
There likely isn't anyone named Lowbridge Highwater in the people list, I'll check later.
Yes, it is documented.
It's not about me and my appearance preferences.
You sound like an asshole.

That entry there signed "Prokofy" starting with "Dear..." -- in fact doesn't come from me, but some imposter.
Posted by: Prokofy Neva | January 28, 2012 at 03:52 AM
They might be an imposter, but the did a pretty fair job of imitating your fevered rantings.
