Indeed. Was about to answer you saying it was the site owner when you edited it in

As you can see from the screenshots, that thread has been going on since 2007 and is available for all staff and FAs to see - that is rather a large amount, as it includes FAs past and present.

Are people comfortable with that amount of people seeing their personal information? Do you think that creators on a site deserve to see information like mods and admins do? And what do people think about the fact that there are screenshots proving TSR have done this, and then they publically deny it?

Eta: I was typing when you posted. You are correct, I did know that this had gone on before..but knowing is one thing, seeing it is another. Am frankly shocked by the rudeness of it all, and as there is strong evidence this time (before there were only some screenshots, like the one of Rose you mentioned) it should be known to more people. Personal information is something that we all have, and privacy and trust are very important to members on a site.

Oh I forgot that Reflex needs you to register. Its an interesting read, the first post is as follows
 


(Have taken out the links to the threads mentioned as these are at pmbd, and I believe its not allowed to link to pmbd outside of the WCIF area)
 
Basically, the discussion there is split between people shocked and unsubscribing because of this, and others saying that paysites do have the right to - espically TSR as it is in the small print when you register. Its not so focused on the EULA or the fact that this is sims files, but more so focused on peoples privacy and what right a site has to share this information. There are some people in there who are worried about identity theft and etc, so many have been put off subscribing because of that.
 
And LyricLee is there yes.

Mm, how exactly do you mean Inge?

If you mean proving it through evidence, then there are screenshots of the actual thread here, where you can see in the first couple of posts that information of users is being posted...and if you read through it, you can see the manner that they do so. Theres talk of glee at sharing information, using trackers in files, and talk of wanting to add worms and trojans to files to catch file sharers

So, like the Reflex thread, I was wondering what you guys here thought: should they or should they not take these measures? Do paysites have the right to?

This thread has now been inactive for a while, but I think this is the most suitable place for this..

A recent debate is going on at ReflexForum here that some of you may be very interested in. Its a debate about whether paysites should be able to share personal information to prevent file sharers or not.

The debate is happening after it was revealed (and is still being revealed) that TSR site owner/admins are sharing paypal and personal information with their team - staff and FAs - in a very vindictive manner. This includes usernames, email address, and real names. If you follow links on the threads then you can see them for yourselves

Points of interest in this are that it is against Paypals agreement to do so, its against members trust to do so, and the manner of it being done is quite nasty. So, do you think they are right to do so? And furthermore, do they have the right?

Am posting this as I think this is important for members here at Insim, as they may be subscribers at TSR or just simply interested in it. So if mods wonder why I woke up an old thread with this, those are my reasons. Have linked to Reflex and Coconut's LJ instead of booty links..so I pesume that is ok. If not, then please let me know ^^

Lovely, thanks!

Thanks for fixing the download problem Arcia ^^ Was wondering what was wrong with it myself. Thanks!

Hrm, what happens when you try to use HomeCrafter?

And I do not think you can use SimPe for walls and floors..I may be wrong though.

Adorable conversion again! I loved HIM666's version of that female mesh too, and will surely be using this one lots. Thank you Arcia!

Lovely conversion Arcia, thank you Always nice to see good hair for guys!

I voted 'pessimistic'..but am more just not excited about it.

One of the main reasons I am cautious is due to the ability of custom content, or rather the lack of ability to make CC in TS3. If thats true, well I am not interested in it much.

Otherwise..the game does not look improved in gameplay where I, personally, would like it to be. So its more my personal preference then anything else

Or maybe I'm just grouchy

I ranted about this over at GoS..can I rant here too? (: *does the cute face and hopes that works*

First of all, its the ignorance. As pointed out by many people, most of what she has actually said which is Satanic is not. DLMuslow clearly does not know what paganism and witchcraft are. If someone is going to attempt to restrict their members then at least know what you are talking about. Being narrow minded when you make a decision that rules over a large amount of people is stupid. And as Sneebs (over at GoS) said Christianity does have links with Paganism...so she does not even know where her own religion comes from. Being informed of what you are against, means you are informed over what you are for.

Secondly, this is such a blatant over reaction over a game, it would be funny if it was not so offensive. The witches in AL are appropriate for kids, as the game is child/teen rated. So it makes no sense to restrict it from a Teen forum when the game is Teen itself. She even says in other threads that she finds the witches in it silly..which is exactly what EAxis' intent is.

Thirdly, she already has rules regarding expression of Satanism, and these are immediately shoved in your face when you register. People do know about that rule, and that its a Christian site. It was not neccessary to repeat that rule, espicially over something silly...looks drama wanting.

Lastly, she has no right to pass an ignorant, narrow minded viewpoint towards people who are supposed to be welcome to her site. Misunderstanding is something, but closed mind and spite towards a religious faith that you do not even attempt to understand and therefore lump as being Satanic is just foul. It seems like she is presenting that you must be Christian to be at her site. She can inforce rules on her site, guidelines..but what she finds personally offensive when its actually someone else's faith, that she will not try to examine and understand, is wrong. She owns a sim website...the sims is a game..beliefs are real, they are different to each individual. If she thinks she can eliminate a certain religion because she does not like it then that is dreadful.

Banning people who tried to inform and discuss with her otherwise was bad. The thread was deleted, but can be seen here.

Hopefully that rant did not come across as being bitchy..am very irritated by this. Very. Just find it offensive, and really un-needed. Bleh

Imao, thats hilarious

If you had not decided to 'hwck with the make up', you would have seen that I listed where you can find the hair in the actual post Hrm.

Yes thats the one, thanks Joy!

Hello all =D

This is a brand new hair set which I've showed a couple of times..and been told off for teasing =p So, here it finally is

Both hairs require XM71 mesh (scroll down on the page here) for these to work. Both are binned, family linked and for all ages of the mesh..which is toddler to adult. Elder's have a Maxis hair, which is grey, and they are all linked to one grey. And for those interested in poly counts, its Faces=3708 and Vertices=1410, so these are good for all systems.

I've used Nouk's textures and then altered these to create two different styles. Have also alpha edited the mesh so that the ends are more spikey.  Xandher is a straight and smooth hair cut, whereas Xavier is slightly longer and also has gentle waves. These two sets also vary in their colour tones slightly, so they are also different in that manner. Each set comes in four basic colours! All are shown in the pics

Remember to grab the mesh! Thats all you need for these to work. No EPs, or anything else. All my stuff is Base Game.

Enjoy

I realise I've been pretty absent from Insim.net for rather....a long, very long time, Am feeling much more at home now that we have nice new mods and such (: so may well be around more!
