Can’t mention ‘Teen’ anymore, either.July 25, 2007 12:41 amWhen using the word ‘Teen’ in an event calender submission, you get a nice ‘Please correct the entries highlighted in yellow: invalid event description, please try again.’ Maybe just to make sure we all know there is NO TEEN at all on the main grid? ^^ From Laetizia’s ‘Can’t say Teen in Events‘: Note that nothing is ‘highlighted in yellow’ at all. You’re left to guess and guess again. When you ask a Linden, you’re also left to guess, since they are either in denial, evasive or point to their lawyers. Now listen up, Linden Lab. I am an adult, as we are all supposed to be. I demand my freedom back, the freedom to call things by their name - in this case the name you gave something. I fail to see how lawyers can convince you to block the name of your own Teen Grid from your Events calendar. Have you gone completely insane? Is there anyone there still thinking for themselves or are Shyster & Shyster running the show? But, no. No words are banned from Events. Only certain letter groups. Aaargh!

Ow, can someone enlighten me on what Balp’s saying? Nadine? As I already commented on Laetizia’s post, free automatic translation doesn’t bring me any further then that barnporr is child porn and that’s somewhere in the third paragraph he’s calling out to an official institution (LL?) to publish the list of banned words. I never thought I would say this, but I think Japanese is more easy then Swedish. :p
That’s the thing with censorship- everything
goes underground.
The only thing worse than censorship
is intolerantance and hate.
This is getting ridiculous. Reading Laetizia’s conversation with Robin Linden was maddening!
There is no list, there’s filters…it’s not words, it’s groups of letters…no wait, or is it?
I have send you a mail Vint, and this sounds crazy, wonder how much longer one dared to have naughty school girl events on the clubs? And yes I didn’t understand one word of what Robin linden tried to get out, we don’t have a filter except a small one that filters on some combinations of letters. but it’s not a filter just like a stop function.
I should have know it comming….
My blog entry yesterday with trackbacks to Vint and Laetizia make them both very curious. So I have repost some of the entr……
Vint I have posted an version in English now. No Swedish isn’t as hard and Japanese, even if the translation services to Swedish is really bad. Flemish is like Swedish or maybe Danish, German and English mixed.
Thank you, Mr. Arnholm Nadine did send me a translation too already. *going to read yours now*
And Flemish is closest related to German and English. Farther from Swedish and Danish, as we have some Roman influences too. (That’s what you get by being occupied by every European nation imaginable over the last 1000 years. ;)) So yes, you’re closer to my language then Japanese is. But google translate does work (in beta) on Japanese to English and not on Swedish to English.
PS. Your first name = Anders? It’s Dutch for ‘different’.
And indeed, LL is communicating badly about this again. ‘No we do not ban things, there are just things we don’t want you to see, for your own well being and especially our legal safety.’ As if that works.
Vint I know that , same in german as well, I guess I’m a little “anders”. Anders is very common Swedish name, there s no working translators into Swedish I have seen. And I used to work with computer linguistics. I think it’s this “secressy” that makes me most irritated. If they are blocking they should have the balls to stand for it.
