Linden stopping inworld banks, will the teen grid comply?

After seeing Linden have just set out a new policy against inworld banks without a license, I began to wonder: Will our grid comply? I wonder this because, lately, some parts have failed to comply with Second Life standards. (E.g.: Spam on Mainlands, breaking the peace multiple times, weapons on Sandbox Islands, etc.) Even temporary mature skyboxes appear once in a while. This should light up one or more warning lights to Linden: What the f*** are you doing? Pay attention to our grid’s status! .

There has been a new bank lately, which I know is trusted — the owner’s a friend of mine. Now, this locks out options for us teens — if we ever “go over the laws of our conscious and reason”, our parents can punish us — since we cannot get a “permit”. We are minors, obviously. Plus, ~90,000 residents don’t make a hell of a difference in Second Life, since we’re a tiny part of the 11,000,000+ database, or at least the 1,200,000+ (says to be 1,227,xxx , I remember it being 1,500,xxx a while ago — what happened?) active residents.

Now, after setting a link to the post I bet i’ll appear on the sites that have started a blog post regarding that page. (I forgot the official word — what was it?) Go ahead Lindens and read this, i’m just stating the facts.

So, in conclusion, Linden Lab should pay attention to what’s happening on our grid, or soon it’s going to bite ‘em back when the teens move to the main grid, or even worse, if the media gets to them first.

    There aren’t any banks that give interest on the TG. Therefore no bank is breaking the rules. So yes, we will comply.

    And the “active residents” figure has been plummeting lately - mostly because few of the residents it came up with were actually active.

    And we’re not 90,000 in 1,200,000 residents - we’re 4,975 in 543,375 - or 0.92%.
