Katt
I would like for someone, perhaps you, to explain what the purpose of your job is? Having worked for several large companies, I know few of them that write policy statements like LL.
Do you as a communicator have any control over the content that you give out to us?
It is hard for me to believe that a company that allegedly is making 1.5M a day is having policy meetings after 5pm on a Monday night. I’m not particularly upset by this new policy but once again this message thrown out a few hours after normal business hours are over strikes me as odd. Starting tomorrow, we are going to start killing one of your communications tools. Sorry we told you after normal business hours…..

Why is it that the messages about the system being down are not open to comment, but silly things like 1/4 of 1% of an obsolete operating system is important enough for a communication? Not to intentionally insult you but what purpose do you serve? Communication is a two way street. What you are delivering is mostly pronouncements.

Perhaps my timing is poor. I work to play this game. When I come home and want to unwind I would like to be able to log in - or if I can’t at least know the reason why. Unlike most people my work hours rotate and I don’t log on at the same time every day. (Which I am sure could be checked by my access log.) Yet every day for the last week that I have tried to log in SL is down. Rarely if ever do I get blessed with the monkey page telling me that.

Several of my friends have quit this venue over the past six months. They kept having failures and found other things to do on the weekends and evenings when this system failed. Eventually those things took priority and they decided not to come back. What do we have to do to communicate this message to you and your bosses.

So far this year I have lost hundreds of real dollars because the servers crapped out. I’ve lost hundreds more when my property was devalued without warning and yet you still collect my island’s tier and my membership cost without fail each month. It’s getting to the point where I feel like a rape victim who doesn’t know whether to let you just get it over with or demand an immediate withdraw. Every single person that I brought into SL over the past year has faced these problems regardless of OS or machine. Yet you communicate none of this. You talk about useless videos, group notices and obsolete operatings systems.

How about a meaningful blog entry on the state of SL. How about a blog entry where someone will take responsibility for what is wrong here? How about a blog entry where I don’t hear, “That’s not my teams responsibility?”

I know of very few companies where they don’t put on their check stubs that this paycheck was brought to you by your customers. Obviously no one at Linden Lab believes that anymore because they continue to operate as a bunch of balkanized enclaves.

You can ignore or delete my message. You can post some other meaningless drivel, but I am one of the saps who is still paying tier. I’m past the anger stage. I’m past the stage where I want to hear how complex the OS is and I’m past the stage where the Tao of Linden seems anything other than an excuse for shoddy workmanship with no one willing to take responsibility.

So Katt as the communicator Linden, communicate this, many of us are tired. We are tired of the disguised Linden employees calling us whiners. We are tired of the blog posts that don’t contribute to solving problems and cover things up for the newbies. Perhaps you and Torley can present a video to Linden management explaining how your clients feel.

I’m not sure who Linden Lab reminds me of more. The executives at Enron or Tareq Kaziz telling the Americans how they were going to be beaten in Iraq. Communicate that this is the role you are fashioning for yourselves.

You are taking advantage of the people who support you. When we finally turn it will not be a pretty sight. The same crafty intelligent people who made the content here can make the content and the problems for you with your competition in the very near future.

Well said !!!
