Hitler never painted something ... he has drawn postcards. He applied for an artist study in Vienna and was turned down for a reason. - Nevertheless perhaps the world had been better off, if they had taken him. But that doesnt change he was a complete maniac. Pagane get your judgement fixed, best see a shrink ASAP.

@Vasusana Nova: Who are you to tell others to shut up here? This isn't your thread, so don't act up like Zorro, Avenger of the Disinherited.

Stick to the truth dear : 23% voted to just get rid of the F-ing trafic rating so you finally stop getting on our nerves about that bloody anti-bot campaign of yours ... they did NOT vote to stick to any rules, but to make the rule in question dispensable. Go get a life and stop pestering everybody.

First usefull post in decades ... didn't know that bit about the "beacon_key"-NC ...
BTW: That's the FAQ-Page ... there should be a more "official" page to post "rules" on.

Pagane is still on her rant against the use of bots ...
There's a rule, that bots may not be run on regions with a OSW-beacon to ensure acuracy of traffic ratings.

I would have voted differently if the last option wouldn't have been worded so provocatively. I don't want to see restrictions made, but to equal that with the rule of the strongest is inacceptable (and of course intentionally so).

Your still getting it wrong, Dorena is not the owner of the region, shes just the one to run the grid. And it's not on us to decide what people do on THEIR land. So if Pagane tries bashing Dorena for this, shes kicking the wrong dog and shouldnt wonder if it bites back. Apart from - and I say it again: Who is making the rules that say you mustn't run bots? There is no such rule, and if you call that cheating it's you that has the problem.

Well, I guess there are two ways looking at it. Bots may sometimes be used to generate traffic for whatever reason, but sometimes there are just there for the fun of it. Who is she to judge? It's not about the messenger, but about the message. I don't like bots too much myself, but If people feel like running bots, let them. Pagane has no right to make the rules for everybody to obey.

I can so much understand you! Pagane is just the person that seems to have an invisible "Please ignore me!"-sign stuck on her back ;-D

What tax money you are talking about? I understand you want to make money on open-SIM and don't like when people do what they do to populate their SIMS. (THEIR own SIMs not the gridowners - Dorena has no say in what people do in their own space.) Well, your problem and your's alone, because we understand OpenSIM as a place for NONcommercial recreational activity. If you want to make money, that's your thing, but we don't see we have any obligation to assist you in that. Dorenas-World is stricktly NON-PROFIT and will stay that way and we dont impose rules on our members, just because you want it.

I can agree with this statements. We at Dorenas-World also offer a small number of free parcels "to the homeless" on two regions of our grid and experienced much of what said as well. Since we have noc currency (and dont want to) we havent been confronted by people that want to "make a business" on OpenSIm. Since everything we offer is for free, our grid is definitely not the place to go for people that consider OpenSIM to be their money-machine. - As you said: "we do not need people like her." (or him) :D
Anyhow upto now I didnt have to "unrent" a plot on a no-show period of less than one year, since we always had eough unused plots left to meet the demand. But of course we would like to see the people that "rent" for free to show up on the events of our community - unfortunately only few actually do.

Link only gives me a white blank page :-(

He leaves a great void in our hearts ;-(

Ich habe es schon an anderer Stelle gesagt: Megaparties mit 30+ Teilnehmern sind für mich einfach nur abschreckend, die Vorstellung von 50+ Teilnehmern gibt für mich für mich ein Bild, das an Hironimus Bosch erinnert.
Trotzdem: Ich muss beipflichten, dass dieser Party-Krieg nervt. Lasst doch einfach mal jeden sein Ding machen und vergesst diese Neiddebatte um 2-3 Besucher mehr oder weniger hier oder dort. Solange dieses Hickhack anhält werde ich die Veranstaltung aller Beteiligten meiden, da ich nicht Teil dieses Hahnenkampfes sein möchte.

I've already said it elsewhere: mega parties with 30+ participants are just daunting for me, the idea of 50+ participants gives me an image that reminds me of Hironimus Bosch.
Nevertheless: I have to agree that this party war is annoying. Just let everyone do their thing and forget this envy debate about 2-3 visitors more or less here or there. As long as this bickering continues, I will avoid the event for everyone involved as I don't want to be a part of this cockfight.

Gechattet mit Dorena hast du, aber verstanden hast du Nichts. Es geht hier in keinster Weise um Religion - das Fass hast DU aufgemacht. Es geht darum, dass BDSM sehr hart an der Grenze zu sexuellem Missbrauch liegt. Personen, die persönliche Erfahrung mit diesem Themengebiet haben reagieren darauf verständlicherweise heftig negativ und wollen nicht an allen Ecken und Enden mit der Darstellung von BDSM konfrontiert werden. Macht privat was ihr wollt, aber BDSM gehört einfach nicht in die Öffentlichkeit. Und das hat auch nichts mit der Toleranz von LGBTQ+ zu tun - das ist nämlich schon wieder eine ganz andere Baustelle. Die Regenbogencommunity ist in Dorenas-World jederzeit willkommen ... aber BDSM lasst ihr bitte zu Hause. - Danke

Dann versuche doch auch bei der Übersetzung ein paar standards einzuhalten und nicht einfach alles durch eine Übersetzungsmaschine zu jagen - das können die, die kein Deutsch verstehen ja bei Bedarf sicher selbst - die Ergebnisse sind nämlich oft leider erst nach einer Rückübersetzung ins Deutsche verständlich!
Und jetzt sage nicht "this is another construction site", sonst beisse ich in die Tischkante!

No, I dont think the Rock-house is "the navel of the world", but with over 400 consecutive events it can claim to be the longest running regular event and that it had been traditional long before other locations were even built. So why should we end the series just because somebody else advertises an event at just the same time?
Yes we are left wing (but "militant"? naaw...) and it makes me proud to be called leftist :-P - Would you prefer to party with skinhead-Nazi-scum instead? Well then go for it.
We dont mind the audience being limited as well, because, as Jupiter tried to point out, those Mega-Parties tend to be a pain in the ass communicationwise. From 30 visitors onwards framerates drop to a slide-show-flicker - which is the time for me to move on. If I imagine a 100 avatar event the mental picture closely remembers Dante's Inferno.
I could go on for a while, but as it seems to be a problem to you to read posts that cover the topic at length, I'll leave it at that for now ...

About 10 years ago a user named Jack Marioline pestered the grids with exactly the same range of griefer attacks. Interesting enough that could be ranged in to be from Italy as well, so possibly Priscilla Kleenix is just the same person resurfacing under a different name. The measures taken back then (outlined by Dorena Verne below) are still effective. So disable rezzing for strangers and tie your objects down and you'll be fine.

I dont think so. Maybe you should ask people before declaring their attendance to your self-proclaimed mediation.

P.S. Ohh, 1st of April - well that explains everything. :-D

At least for us (Dorenas World) there has been no "strict procedure for political correctness and party loyalty". The whole thing started, as you yourself stated above "a year ago" and is not about Ukraine in any way, but about free travelling in the VIRTUAL worlds. Since Sacrarium granted free travel to us, we decided we do likewise, thats all. Nothing to do with Putin at all, and of course we do NOT share their views on the matter at all!
Sacrarium is not Russia however and Russians are not Putin. We would not block a grid for real-world political reasons and we do not hate Russians just because Putin decided a to start a war on Ukraine. We DO speak up against it, but we do not flog the donkey to punish the master.

Ahh another hater ranting with nothing but ad hominem fume. Having no real arguments they need to resort to throwing dirt, hoping something will stick. Did anybody else notice how far this is from the original topic?
