GEMINI CDS Ban Relay 1.9.2 Secondlife english version

GEMINI CDS Ban Relay 1.9.2

Hi Everybody !

With this notecard I want to communicate my perception about the “GEMINI CDS Ban Relay 1.9.2″.

You find it in xstreet :

https://www.xstreetsl.coLookm/modules.php?name=Marketplace&file=item&ItemID=2138424

The Video Link is not included in the notecard from Daemonika Nightfire and included from the Creator of this Blogpost Holger Gilruth to help show the failures of the System and show that it is not working at all

The basic concept of this banning system is not bad, but the proceeding and the reasons the

system is basing on is in no way legitimate.

The system is to be to detect if an avatar uses a “harmfull-viewer” (Copybot) and – if true – to eject

the avatar immediately from the sim and to put it on a bann list.

The system communicates additionally these caught avatars to an external server where all are

listet. The sim owner who uses this sytem on his sim banns automatically this avatar who enters

his sim as well.

Up to this point it is OK.

Now the reasons why there are so many protests and Abuse Reports against this system:

1.

The ban relay works with an index of names which was created and loaded on the server several

weeks before the system was published. It was created under the arbitrary assumption that

everybody who was registered as a user of such a viewer has made illegal copies of third party

property.

Quotation of Skills Hak about Neil Life:

[19:56] Skills Hak: I don’t trust somebody who uses it.

[19:56] Skills Hak: it’s like a live arm

The curious is the following : Some days ago I was informed, that you only can recognize Neil Life

if you use it yourself. My question is : Why isn’t Skills Hak on the list ?

As I said : All avatars on the list are unexceptional because of wild guesses, without any evidence

are denunciated as CopyBots.

2.

This avatar list is a mess , because never happened a verifying if the avatar concerned made an

illegal copy or not.

Even worse: All avatars had been blacklisted overall and without exception who used a legal bot

or who tested an alternative viewer and were “caught” by Skills Hak’s brilliant tool.

Thereby occurs the following problem :

No one who is listed wrongly has the possibility ever to be deleted from the list.

Quotation of Skills Hak: People who use Neil Life will be banned, no discussion.

Even Linden Lab refers back to the originator, you should argue with him.

The originator, Gemini , refuses to delete ever somebody from the list.

Gemini proceed even :

In the discussion forum:

https://www.xstreetsl.com/modules.php?name=Marketplace&file=discussions&ItemID=2138424

many people protested and the germans were referred as “Harz IV CopyBotter Brigade”which is

a barefaced defamation.

A new second avatar protested too because his first avatar had been registered in the list and was

banned. Gemini answered very arrogant :

Quotation : : “Hello, brand new account with blank profile that got caught on our system some days ago.”

We know very well where this defamation is leading to !

3.

Evidently it seems as if this system ist not able to detect a new “harmfull viewer”.

On YouTube you could watch videos where certain people copied all what they wanted in SL with

harmfull viewers, without being caught by Skills Hak.

These videos are deleted in the meantime : This video is canceled because of the oiginator

entitlement of XXXXXXXXXXX.

I reason that only avatars are banned whose name is already on the existing list.

The evil is the following : All avatars on this list are banned, regardless which viewer will be used

on the relevant sim. Even if you use the Linden- or Emerald viewer, you are banned.

No sim owner who uses this system is able to relate if the banned avatar used a harmfull viewer or

was already listed before the system started.

I personally don’t see no reason at all to bann an avatar using a harmfull viewer, he cannot keep out

of mischief with it.

4.

For all I know, Linden Labs decided to prohibit the access of unregistered and/or illegal viewers to

Second Life. This means that these viewers cannot log on to Second Life in the future. I reason that

this system is needless soon.

Closing words :

I’m not bothered a bit if someone is banned because of illegal activities. Whereupon a following

abuse report supersede the banning, because the avatar isn’t able to log on to Second Life afterwards.

But I cannot approve that people are defamed and pigeonholed without any evidence of delinquency.

All Americans have the right to buy a weapon, does this mean unavoidable that it will be used by everyone?

Sincerely yours
