I have been reading about SL for some time before I decided to join a few weeks ago. I read forum after forum and anything/ everything I could about SL. I did so because I planned to start up a business to suppliment my income so that I may help my Family out a little more other than being a house wife, which by the way IS a job. I was looking into ad lot sales or an advertising/ marketing company. I have lately been studying on these types of business. I have looked at Sara's profile, ROBO's profile etc etc. I have looked at ROBO's business practices. The land cutting is not against TOS. As a matter of fact, LL would not make it possible to cut land if it were. So he is within his rights there. I have seen and examined the rotating signage he uses. It was made by a professional who makes signs as part of her business. When I asked her of the lagg it may cause she explained to me how simple the scripting inside them is and that many would have to be used to cause a lagg issue in any sim. She explained to me that a few in a sim would NOT cause lagg. It seems simple enough and I never see but one to a few in any sim. I am thinking of having her make me some signs for my new business. I also looked around his signage and saw many other users with small 16m or 32m, most with laggy signage/ ads. Surely some of these individuals have bought from him. It also seems the same people buy from him as I go from sim to sim investigating. What about the ones who buy from him. If he has repeat customers, as far as business practices goes, he must be doing something right. I am also curious why the purchasers are not bashed in this forum. I have not read anything official about him stealing money from anyone or violation of TOS. Seems to me if you feel he is effecting the value of land in the sims he sells ad lots, he must be causing another effect. After further investigation it seems estates have had a bit of an increase. Is it maybe he is effecting those who own estates in a positive manner? I am not sure what all the drama BS is about. It looks like to me some people just need something to complain about. Anyone want cheese? I see most of the complaints coming from those who stand to lose money/ lindens by the value of mainland realty going down. Maybe that is why some are mad. Has it effected your business? Seems much of what I read here is hearsay and opinion only. NO facts of wrong doing have been presented and frankly I am not convinced. Until LL changes TOS to disallow "land cutting/ ad farms" let's all walk away and leave the man in peace to live his life. As ordinary human beings, do we not all deserve peace and can we not extend it to each other? I can and will. I now leave each of you to your ... peace. One last note: "business ethics" a form of "applied ethics" is a discipline of philosophy that attempts to apply 'theoretical' ethics. Look up theoretical if this confuses you or if you do not understand maybe you should not be reading this. Peace!
