If you can't read this then I suggest you find someone to translate it for you.

Let me be abundantly clear. The sale of Second Life avatars is expressly forbidden by the Terms of Service of Second Life.

The sale of CCS accounts, is also, by proxy, expressly forbidden by the CCS Terms of Access.

Anyone found to be selling Second Life accounts with CCS accounts attached to them will have that account banned or deleted. Period.

I don't care if your dog logged you in and typed the message, if someone "framed" you by using your account, its because you gave them your password in the first place which means by the Terms of Service of Second Life you are already responsible for the actions of whoever uses that account since you gave them your password.

This is a zero tolerance policy announcement. If you are found to be selling SL avatars in CCS those avatars will be removed from CCS entirely.

Dejenme ser muy clara. La venta de los avatares de Second Life esta extrictamente prohibida conforme a los terminos de servicio de Second life, La venta de cuentas CCS, por el servidor proxy, esta tambien prohibida de acuerdo a los terminos de acceso de CCS.

Cualquier persona que encontremos vendiendo cuentas de Second Life con CCS obtendran un baneo o su cuenta sera borrada sin excepcion. No me importa su su perro lo logeo y escribio el mensaje, si alguien mas lo "expuso" usando su cuenta, es porque en primer lugar le diste tu contraseña, lo que quiere decir que segun el TOS de Second Life tu eres responsable de las acciones de quien sea que use tu avatar ya que tu mismo le proporcionaste el acceso a esta.

Esto es un anuncio de cero tolerancia. Si encontramos que vendes tu o cualquier otro avatar en CCS, estos seran removidos del sistema por completo.

Its come to our attention that there is a third party program being marketed that allows CCS users to circumvent the CCS Captcha system.

Now you might think that we're concerned that people might be using it to camp, but we're not, because GMs will largely catch people that are completely unresponsive and deal with them appropriately.

My main issue with posting this warning is to ensure people know how dangerous this really is.

Should you consider the situation, you are essentially gambling $40.00 USD on the potential that this third party program works, and perhaps it does, but you're also sending that $40.00 USD to a nearly untraceable Hotmail email address, and if they do send you something in return for your purchase there is no guarantee that even if it does work that it won't also install hostile software on your system that could put your personal identity, your credit card data and any other sensitive information you may have on your computer at risk.

So let me just simply say, I'm not entirely sure camping in CCS is worth trusting potentially having your identity and credit card data stolen by someone thats posted an advertisement on a website where anyone can post something anonymously, and they're using an email service that is well known for its complete lack of responsibility for any fraud committed via their service.

In the end, is "winning the game in CCS" by somehow perhaps evading the CCS Captcha system, and perhaps never being caught by a live human GM worth risking all the money in your bank account and perhaps your personal identity as well?

Simple facts are CCS, being as popular as it is, has consistently been the target of hackers attempting to get control of peoples SL accounts since most people's SL accounts are associated with their credit cards. Over the last three years alone there have been hundreds of CCS users who have mistakenly clicked on a phishing link sent by a compromised account in a CCS information group, only to have their accounts stolen within minutes and suddenly their credit cards are charged out to the maximum as the hacker buys and sells a ton of Linden and redirects the cash to their own Paypal account. And the sad part about it is the CCS player then gets stuck holding the bag, and the Lindens ban their account over it.

Simple facts are is if simple phishing links are enough to cause that, installing a piece of third party software, advertised anonymously, and sold through an anonymous email contact? Yeah....not very smart.

No game is worth losing your financial well being over. Or even potentially risking that. So, stay smart, and don't say we didn't warn you.

Have fun everyone.

Hey all I've been quiet the last few weeks due to hardware issues with my computer.

Took me a bit to actually diagnose the problem down to its actual source. I had thought that my video card was shorting out because every time I'd start a intensive 3D application like 3DS Max or Second Life or any other game the computer would shut itself down and restart with no error message or warning. But normal browsing and email didn't cause any issues.

After putting some money aside I purchased a new video card and installed it, but the problem continued to occur. After some investigation I decided to swap out the power supply for a back up power supply I had and the problem stopped occurring for a day but the back up power supply didn't have enough juice to maintain enough power for all my hardware so I had to replace it with a new one costing me a bit more cash to get a 800 Watt power supply that was up to the demands of my system.

After spending a morning getting everything back into working order it seems like the problem is now addressed, which means of course everything I wasn't able to address from my smart phone is more or less back logged and may take me a little time to get to it. Sorry for any delays in that regard. I've just been doing my best to deal with incoming issues via email so any note cards dropped to my Second Life account haven't been addressed because SL doesn't have a complex smart phone app.

Anyways over next week I should be getting somewhat back to normal and will get any note carded issues addressed. Far as the upcoming CCS update goes Melanie is more or less finished with her side of the update but has had a lot of real life issues to deal with so she hasn't gotten me the finished parts she was working on yet but will soon.

Just an update from my end, as I know things have been quiet from me and people might have been wondering if I'd dropped off the grid.
