The Annoying Thing..
The nice thing about this blog was that I thought nobody ever read it, which meant I could write all sorts of stuff and get away with it. The last entry apparently disproved that as myself and Ana Lutetia appear to have kicked off a little SL firestorm.
Nevermind though, eh? We’re both happy to get some debate and discussion on the matter, and happy to see some storeowners are rethinking the matter too.
And we apparently pissed people off too, which is fine. I’m not the type to shy away from a tough subject.. I find too many people in Second Life care about their reputations and don’t want to get involved in anything. There’s a distinct difference between annoying dramas and a reasonable debate, and if you can’t see the difference, then you’re obviously incapable of intellectual discussion of metaversal matters.
So it wouldn’t be much of a public service if I didn’t provide a guideline to being a plain annoyance.. so without further ado: 10 easy ways to annoy SL residents:
1. Send a mass teleport every time you DJ. And then count and see how many people have suddenly deleted you from their friends list. And then whine about it. And then see how long it takes the people you’re whining to, to delete you as well.
2. Message every group you’re in to let them know not to accept the latest con object that steals all your money, your inventory, the clothes off your back, your house, your soul, your pet piranha, your cheese grater and the remains of that decomposing body in your basement.
3. Use a swear word in every single fucking sentence you say.
4. WRITE YOUR CHAT IN CAPITAL LETTERS AND DON’T USE THE RETURN KEY SO EVERYONE CAN CLEARLY SEE THAT YOU’RE SAYING SOMETHING AND USE LOTS OF !!!!!!!!! TO MAKE SURE THEY KNOW YOU’RE EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
5. Go to a sim with 50 people wearing attachments on just about every place a prim attachment can go. Oh yes.. here’s a slow clap just for you.
6. IM your entire friends list to let them know that although the entire West coast of America just got wiped out by a slip in the San Andreas fault line, you’re okay and they can see you in the following publications this month..
7. Spam. Advertise your store/club/penis size to anyone and everyone. Then see how high you can get orbited.
8. Post anonymously on online SL blogs/Flickr. Wow, your opinion is so great, you don’t even need to put your avatar name to it.
9. Put “I hate drama” somewhere in your profile. That’s not technically annoying us, but we’ll know right away that you’re a drama queen.
10. Set up your store so anyone who buys anything automatically gets added to a Subscriber group and has to put up with 15 notices a day from you until they go back to your store to remove themselves. And then they set the place on fire because you’re a sneaky spammer.
Yikes, I’m a total bitch..

lmao, I must remember not to eat or drink when I read your posts. Funny, insightful wee thing aren’t you. Love the slow clap - I had to explain what a prim is to my husband so I could share the funniness
Brilliant, more please ^^
(oops)
[...] SL offers up opportunities for humour that you can’t get in RL: Jokes about prims, profiles and the use of capitals just for starters. An excellent example of these sorts of considerations is regularly found in Prad’s blog, the most recent post he’s done is a case in point, see it for yourself: http://www.pradprathivi.com/latest/10-easy-ways-to-annoy-sl-residents . [...]
Hehehe XD This is awesome Poodle!
This post is so fucking fantastic!!!!!!!
ha!
I laughed all the way through this. Great post.
I love this, I’m putting a link in my newbie tutorial.
ROFL!
I have a problem… Where should I advertise the size of the penis my avie doesn’t have?
So true, sir. So true - especially #9.
I plan on doing all those things today, making a checklist as of now.
I just can’t stop laughing. And all of it so true :o)
Number 2 is a personal pet hate of mine, especially as you see it propagate throughout your list of groups as the same person, or more importantly, type of person posts and reposts for everyone to see.
On the face of it, it seems like they are doing you a service instead of trying to make themselves look clever as the bearer of inimate doom..but seriously, comments like “Dont go here and log into this suspicious website and hand over all your details, you will get conned!”, only serve to highlight how stupid these people really are.
I ~LOVE~ BITCHES.
Okay, that was just one sentence, so I’ll practice to be more annoying.
Promis.
-prepares to begin to mass spam prad for all her dj gigs and make some up too- ah hahahahaha I hate that stuff!
and %^&*@#$% too!
-grinz-
<3 number 9! I know a few people like that and they seem to attract the drama like a moth to a light.
Honey… you’re my favourite bitch
‘Be nice. Keep it clean. Stay on topic. No spam.’
Er..OK, erm…. never mind then.
This is sooooo true, can I add #11 gesterbating …. repatedly spamming Hooooooooooooo !!! what is H000 anyway ? an olws mating call ?
