Creativity also encompasses originality and respect for other creators who produce content by working many hours on it. Don't speak of creativity if you use imitations and copied content without the consent of original creators (reproduction takes little time, while original creation involves a lengthy and intellectually taxing process that should be respected). Don't talk about originality and creativity, for if you do, you are merely hypocritical, and moreover, many of you are in SL, which casts even more shame upon you. My question once again is, what are the principles of your community and this event that you have organized? Are you able to respond without banning and deleting comments? :)

i kind of agree with you, but not everyone is a master of everything. someone who is good at making buildings might not be able to make mesh bodies. It is sad that so much content in opensim is stolen from second life creators, but it is also hard to work out what is stolen and what is not sometimes.

True, but it's quite simple by now to figure out what's copied; the contents have the same names, with a few exceptions for professional importers/copiers who change the content names. However, their counterparts in Second Life (SL) can still be found fairly easily. The point is different; if you boast of being a content creator and promote Opensimulator (OS) creators in your event, you should also respect the original content and the work of other creators. To make matters worse, many of these users are also in SL. So, the people I mentioned can say anything, but nothing will ever be honest. They'll get likes just for the convenience of others who do the same things, and those who want a more original OS will always remain marginalized.
