		<description>Just popping in again to note that out of the ten 2008 predictions &lt;a href=&quot;http://nwn.blogs.com/nwn/2008/01/future-vote-sel.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;New World Notes&lt;/a&gt; offered to a general vote among its readers, my prediction #3 about the Community Standards document was chosen for third place!  I posted a &lt;a href=&quot;http://nwn.blogs.com/nwn/2008/01/2008-second-lif.html?cid=98358366#comment-98358366&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;comment&lt;/a&gt;, which I&#039;ve cross-posted, below.
&lt;blockquote cite=&quot;Adz Childs in NWN comment&quot;&gt;

In its original form I predicted
3. There will be a significant change to the “Community Standards” document. Specifically, section 5 will be significantly changed or removed.

There is a major inconsistency in this section. On the one hand, it says &quot;broadly offensive must be contained within private land in areas rated Mature (M).&quot; Those of us familiar with the basics of logic quickly spot the implication, that broadly offensive content is allowed. On the other hand, several posts on the Linden Blog have made statements that contradict this. First to mind is &quot;Keeping us safe together&quot; (http://blog.secondlife.com/2007/05/31/keeping-second-life-safe-together/) by the ex-Linden Daniel which states, &quot;...[long list of stuff], and other broadly offensive content are never allowed or tolerated within Second Life.&quot; He does not specify a region designation restriction. Robin Lindens lovingly nicknamed, &quot;dob your neighbor&quot; post also seems to contradict this part of the CS.
LL will move to make one consistent with the other. Its just too glaring of an inconsistency to ignore. How are we the faithful users of Second Life supposed to live by the rules if we don&#039;t know what they are!

		<description>I can&#039;t help but comment on this... my prediction #2 ... its pretty close to having come true already.  Its too early to make an official announcement but, man, it sure is on track.

And, Wagner James Au of New World Notes has selected my prediction #3 among 9 others for his event, &lt;a href=&quot;http://nwn.blogs.com/nwn/2008/01/future-vote-sel.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Future Vote: Select Three Second Life Predictions for 2008!&lt;/a&gt;</description>

		<description>Benjamin, oh wow I didn&#039;t know about that clause in the ToS.  That explains alot.  I wonder if it is enforceable. It seems quite oppressive.</description>

		<description>Really good thought on the celebrity lawsuit -- I like that one.  Re: patents, have you noticed the language in the SL TOS?  It is &lt;a href=&quot;http://virtuallyblind.com/2007/09/27/patent-rights-second-life/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;brutal on patent rights&lt;/a&gt;.</description>
