sorry thomas but the idea that a person can be detected by skills system while running LL's client on a name that is new today and never been logged in on any other client... shows that the information used to detect if a person has 'ever' used a bad client is coming from the persons computer. and the fact that one of the admins over skills system tells you that in order to run a bad client and not be detected by the system is to install vmware and run the client there tells me that the system is in fact gather information from your computer. the fact that the system in not installed on my computer leads me to believe its HACKING. you can protect your friends all you want thomas but Linden Lab needs to address that fact that this system is a HUGE violation of the terms of service and various local state and governmental laws.
