I want to talk about all the bots and campers I am still seeing everywhere I go. I'm considering starting a bothunter association where I start paying out lindens for persons who are able to get bots and camping sites removed from the grid. I would of course provide all the bot\camper site locations.
I'm currently trying to figure out pricing for this. Does anyone think 500L payouts would be good enough for someone to actually use whatever means necessary to get the bots and camper sites to become bot\camper free?

Two topics come to mind
1. Who or what in Second Life inspires you?
2. What Second Life/virtual world topics do you think are getting missed / given inadequate coverage by bloggers and the press?

You see, this is why a story needs to be done on the bot issue.
Lindens just released Q3 stats and I call bull****.

They say there is a bot policy, yet, when you report bots, nothing happens to those sims, they still keep the bots and campers.
The reason....Linden wants the numbers and they don't want a massive decrease in numbers which would happen if they actually did away with bots and campers.

Very disappointed
