On being a Linden...

If you are a Linden it seems like your name will have some protection under the new Display Names fiasco.

That is the idea, however, as Buckaroo Mu points out in the comments to the announcement that it is being trialled (here)...
"No "inappropriate" names filter is going to work, and for one simple reason. UNICODE. That's over 100,000 different letters designed to display any written letter/character/glyph in use in any language. Many people get a kick out of using Unicode to write text �pısdn u�op. Guess what? It's also REALLY easy to use Unicode to find characters that look exactly like every letter used in the English language (and most others). Who's going to maintain the table that says you can't use "inden" preceeded by any Unicode codepoint that resembles an L?"

This is a very important point. It is impossible to police.

...and WHY are Lindens more important than us plebs? My name is as important as anyone elses.

Barak Obama was online (not) and ....

It seems to me as if I will not be the creator of the objects I created after (if) I change my name.... but, if someone changes their name to soror Nishi they can then change the permissions on my objects... apparently all objects in search and my inventory will have their name changed to my current preference, but objects across the grid....nope...

As Fred Gandt say.... "I could go on and on and on about this but I can't be bothered."

ColeMarie Soleil has been suspended because she was recently reported by a griefer, it will take a week for the Boys to sort this out... lol....they ain't seen nothing yet...this name change possibility is a Griefers Charter.

So bad I hardly know what else to say....

It could be the single worst "improvement" so far...
