New Buzz Word: Landscape Spam
Taken from my comment on this NWN entry:
I see it [the “Impeach Bush” signs] as a form of spam. There comes a point when theres so much stuff in your visual view that it becomes spam.
Amazingly LL’s policy is far behind from the advance technology they may make. LL fails to see it as spam, because it’s a new type of spam that has previously not been defined because there was no situation in which to give rise to it. Until now of course, with SL enabling people to “spam” the landscape, creating “Landscape Spam”.
The same problem occurs with For Sale signs. Think of SL like a webpage, with the content of builds being the webpage and the signs being pop-ups. Except in SL it’s worse because theres nothing to even block the spam.
Landscape spam will continue to be a problem and probably get even worse until LL actualy does something about it… if they ever do.
