Another Fine Mesh They’re Getting Us Into

I’m afraid I’m going to have to depart from the general love in on the mesh upload requirements, as revealed here by Tateru Nino. I’m not a fan of how this is being presented, nor am I a fan of the implications of it. The proposed requirements are listed on the official Second Life Wiki, under Mesh Upload Enablement.

This isn’t all bad, there will be a tutorial for starters which is long overdue. However the PIOF requirement I’m not fan of because we still have this absurd situation in Second Life where I can’t just have one account and multiple alts. This is an absurd requirement to receive a flag, my NPIOF alts can go to adult land because I submitted a support ticket, I didn’t have to get them PIOF status and I didn’t have to get them age verified. This whole individual account business is a nonsense.

Beyond that, there are people who can’t, for whatever reason, buy Linden dollars from Linden Lab, they use third party exchanges such as Virwox. The folk who buy from third party exchanges do put money into Second Life and do contribute to the overall economy, why should they be discriminated against?

Another issue of course is that it goes against the ethos of user creation to limit it in a fashion such as this, although it should be noted that at one time Second Life required people provide credit card details to engage, this was also a time when there were a lot less users.

We Wanna Be Free To Do What We Wanna Do And We Wanna Get Loaded

One of the beauties of Second Life is the freedom to create, it’s why the old tagline of “Your World, Your Imagination” was so wonderfully apt, and why it was disconcerting when it was removed. Some people of course don’t like creative freedom because creative freedoms lead to situations where people don’t like what others create. However one should always remember that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I still get excited when my scripts come to fruition and actually do what I want them to do, to me that makes it a beautiful day.

However with creative freedom also comes responsibility, which is why people aren’t free to create anything they like, there are certain items that will earn you a one way ticket to palookaville, there’s a distinctly “Don’t be Evil” subplot to these creative freedoms, hence why you get asked for permissions to do things.

Rules are of course seen in some quarters as a bad thing and being careful what you wish for is another concern, which has been exemplified by the official forums which are being rejigged again.
