THE STORY OF TORSE JR. AND THE EVENTS LISTING

Once upon a time, Torse the Horse Jr. was a happy pony. He was content to attend events–even though trivia was a challenge for him to type out the answers.

But then, the skies darkened, and the Events calendar became bogged down NON-events and spam. Redudant postings of the same event in a single day, gratuitious and blatant ads, and fake yard sales–"fake" because there wasn't a host present, there was no start or end time, and there most certainly wasn't even a yard to begin with… so how could it be a yard sale?

The last one saddened Torse Jr. deeply, as he used to enjoy yard sales. Meanwhile, Residents drowned in the Events calendar, the world continued to grow, and pending better ways to find events in the future, what can we do now?


Today, if you see Torse Jr. at an event, it's an omen: this tiny cyborg pony has plenty o' might and randomly visits listings to check them out… to see firsthand if they're really events. And if not, Torse Jr. neighs for help from his Linden companions. And then the NON-events get deleted, and discipline gets doled out. *chomps at the bit*

You can help us help you so that your actual events, which you put a lot of passion into for the enjoyment of all involved, aren't drowned! See a listing which is not an event and thus doesn't meet the Event Posting Rules? From inworld, please use the HELP menu —> REPORT ABUSE with all the juicy details, including who posted it, the date, time, and description of the NON-event, and also important: if this has been going on awhile and hasn't stopped.

And into the sunset, Torse Jr. galloped on, wishing the Residents happy, healthy, and truely eventful Second Lives!
