AnnMarie Otoole suspended after Q&A-challenged Lindens nerf prim-physics switch

Linden Lab’s unfathomable player disciplinary actions scaled new heights of absurdity with news that AnnMarie Otoole was slapped with a 3 day suspension after her vehicles were broken by an error in Linden Lab’s latest “upgrade” to Second Life server software. Apparently the Lab’s latest server release was pushed out the door with less than complete testing and a broken physics switch function used by many Second Life content creators.

The issue was acute in the case of Ms. Otoole. The broken server code took the brakes off her vehicles resulting in massive pileups, collisions, parcel encroachment – and a wave of abuse reports against Otoole which were swiftly acted on by the Lab’s governance team, although the Lab created the problem in the first place.
