and as it happens there actually is a BlackList project running by the same folks that run one of the viewers on the current Whitelist. as of Friday there will be 3 lists of viewers 1 the TPVd list: run by Linden Labs functions as a Whitelist 2 the Onyx List: posted on the site of that green viewer and is a subset of the list used by the CDS banlink system 3 everything Else (including source mods of the above viewers) this would be a grey list Given that The Onyx list is complete somebody needs to state that only those viewers will draw an actual ban (or use of a "hostile" viewer that just has yet to be listed). -- Robert L Martin _______________________________________________ Policies and (un)subscribe information available here: http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/OpenSource-Dev Please read the policies before posting to keep unmoderated posting privileges
