In terms of sales and quality products – who else in Secondlife has to resort to selling their entire shop of hundreds of shapes and skins for L$4,000? That indicates a sign of desperation from Alady.

Enjoy reading the below which will show you exactly what Tracey Sassoon admits too with using bots.

[10:33] Mr X: Hi – How are you doing? I wondered if you had any comment about the bots you are using to artificially raise your traffic score, I am just about to publish an article on Alady with this respect on New World Notes. And will be publishing pictures and date logs etc. Anyway its only fair to give you the right to reply before I publish.
[10:37] Tracey Sassoon: I dont use bots to artificially raise traffic score i have a camping ball for that people stand by and camp. As far as the 6 models who model my body shapes they show samples of sizes and were never created for traffic they were created to show size samples of my work. You should pick on the places that have 20-80 bots that serve are not modeling creations of the creators. I have had model avies since my first store and no one has every complained.
[10:39] Tracey Sassoon: And i am not about to stop having models show my sizes in my store because customers appriciate seeing what they look like
[10:39] Mr X: ok this article is off the back of the places that use 20 – 80 bots and you have been identified as one of them. Sources tell me your traffic score has gone from 30K to nearly 60K a day over the past 3 months, do you have anything to say about that?
[10:41] Tracey Sassoon: yes my score has went up if you check because more people are coming to camp at the camping area and I put in dressing rooms on my 2nd floor which attrack a great deal of women daily the past few weeks by word of mouth a place they can come and change their clothing and avie in privacy if they dont have a place in sl to do so without being hit on my men that is why my stats went up because tons of women are stopping in to use the dressing rooms
[10:41] Tracey Sassoon: i have never had more than 6 models in my store that come and stand nothing more
[10:42] Mr X: what do you have to say about all the people at your camping area having the same group names in them?
[10:42] Tracey Sassoon: i dont hand out any group tags at my campnig area
[10:42] Tracey Sassoon: what does their tag say ?
[10:42] Mr X: SLResearch
[10:42] Tracey Sassoon: i stop in there every couple days i never see same tags i usually boot odd looking ones
[10:43] Tracey Sassoon: I have never seen sl research ?
[10:43] Mr X: That I put to you is a classic sign of them being bots
[10:43] Tracey Sassoon: if i see odd ones that have almost same name i boot them if i think they maybe someone logging in many of them
[10:43] Tracey Sassoon: i even have a couple campers IM me if they see too many same named similar ones i go and check and then boot them
[10:44] Mr X: ok well thank you for your time, we will put your side of the story for the article too
[10:44] Tracey Sassoon: i have never seen slresearch tags
[10:44] Tracey Sassoon: i dont use bots in my camping area
[10:45] Tracey Sassoon: make sure you put facts because I do have a lawyer
[10:45] Tracey Sassoon: i just looked and no one in camping has sl research tags
[10:46] Tracey Sassoon: and only one there looks like a ruth
[10:48] Mr X: Thanks – as I say we will put your side of the story in the article too – thanks for your time
[10:51] Mr X: oh nearly forgot – you may want to see our original article on New World Notes for the background and why we have widened the scope.
[10:51] Mr X: take care
[10:53] Tracey Sassoon: well there is no more than 6 avies i use for my store and I have 0 avies I use at the camping area for the record I would never and have never had my own camping bots in my camping area that is factual
[10:55] Mr X: Some people would class having 6 avies in your store as inflating traffic too – do you know that having 6 avies on your land for 24 hours is the equivalent of 10K of traffic? thats 10% of your traffic score.
[10:55] Mr X: as I say we have enough for the moment thanks
[10:56] Tracey Sassoon: well you can write me up for having 6 avies in my store they model my work here in sl
[10:56] Tracey Sassoon: if people get mad then they can model my work for free because I dont make enough money to pay people to model my work
[10:57] Tracey Sassoon: and I have had them since I opened my store I always have had 4-6 models
[10:57] Mr X: So you are admitting that you use bots (abilt 6 bots) for your own financial gain?
[10:57] Tracey Sassoon: that is how i grew my business because people can see my work
[10:57] Tracey Sassoon: yep 6 bots model my sizes of shapes so customers can see them real time
[10:57] Tracey Sassoon: my business wouldnt have grown unless people can see shape sizes in real time
[10:58] Mr X: and can I ask how you have 6 bots – LL cap the allowed number of alternative accounts at 5. Did you obtain them by deception?
[10:58] Tracey Sassoon: I create shapes so its hard for people to see the work
[10:58] Tracey Sassoon: no my son, nephew and next door neighbor log them in
[10:58] Mr X: oh I see
[10:58] Tracey Sassoon: they help me by logging in models for me
[10:59] Tracey Sassoon: on thier computers
[10:59] Mr X: so technically you could have 15 alts then?
[10:59] Tracey Sassoon: no each log in 2 avies
[11:00] Tracey Sassoon: they have their own account and 2 alts in exchange i pay their internet bills
[11:00] Mr X: ok thanks for your time – I appreciate your input
[11:00] Tracey Sassoon: np

Rebecca has been stalking Tracey in the Sellers guild till she got thrown out for harrassment of Tracey and other business owners telling the sellers guild (Rebecca vacano) "I make more money then any other business in SL – I have the best products and will put all of you out of business. You can ask anyone in sellers guild about this this.

Rebeccas camping area of 90 people are mostly bots camping for her to have an issue with any one else having bots is plain strange considering most of her camping area is bots. Seems she is upset that others are having bots camping in sl she must feel she should be the only one doing it.

She is well known in SL to stalk other business owners by making posts and has a well known odd sick obession with Alady and Tracey Sassoon that is well known.

You can go to search in places and type in A Lady and you will see she continues to pretend to have A Lady (not ALady) bodies in her store which she doesnt.

For her to post here about bots when she has almost 90 camping bots on her sim is rather odd

She usually posts anonymously though maybe she ran out of anonymous names to post under

It is indeed unfortunate that there are those who would abuse such tools and platforms to the point of ruining it for everyone. Of course we see this in the world community in almost every avenue and the result in both world and cyber communities is simply a waste of time and resources, the actions of a hand full of selfish individuals take away from everyone. I am so grateful to those who have given selflessly and worked hard for the advancement of humanity as a whole. I aspire to be one of them. Socrates said, "I wish I had infinite capacity for evil as it would endow infinite capacity for the good."

Those who cheat to get ahead end up cheating everyone, even themselves.

Platinum World does not use bots – the Coffee Shop is a camping area, always has been and always will be. All avatars on the sim are owned by other people. I don't have any alt accounts.

Happy for anyone to come to Platinum World and talk to any of the campers!

This is unlike Alady that have 20 – 30 bots boosting their traffic to rip off other hard working business owners.

If designers need ways to model their wares, why not just create mannequins? It works for RL designers quite well. Bots artificially drive up numbers and can create several problems. I find it ridiculous that someone would spend so much time creating bots.

And for the comment about the Lindens not doing anything until it becomes a huge issue.. well, yes, thats true. They don't want to put the kabash on creativity or intellectual property issues unless and until it starts to adversely affect the general population. Their hands off approach (while sometimes frustrating) is actually a way of letting the population dictate what goes and what doesn't in-world.

If enough people complain and make something an issue, the Lindens will take a look at it.

While I understand the concept of paying people to camp (although I don't do that on my land – waste of my own money); and also having "models" for skins, etc.; I am unable to condone any other use for bots.

If you have put a thousand bots on your land just to boost traffic numbers, you are liars, cheaters, dishonest, disreputable, untrustworthy, and unworthy of both my time and my money.

I will not be visiting the above-named sims anytime soon, nor any of those of my so-called "friends" who have done the same thing. They have slapped me, as a fellow business owner, in the face with this awful practise, and my version of turning the other cheek is to completely separate myself from them.

I roleplay online. If I'm on my avatar, I am being him. I lay my personality, ideas, morals, lifestyle, etc. at the "door". He happens to be a criminal. Now, I've never stolen anything, or done anything with bots, but I've done plenty against the rules. Now, if I was chased by cops and they caught me and put my avatar in jail; I'd be fine with that. But to have a god (administrator) locate me with omniscience and banish me with omnipotence...that destroys the illusion.

Before you vote
I think that the most crucial points that voters should consider before they vote in the remaining primaries are these: You were a major participant, by an “yes” vote, in making a trillion dollar mistake on your job. Would you go to your employer and ask for a promotion and a pay raise, as Senator Hillary Clinton is doing? And if you did, would you expect your boss, the voters, to grant your requests? In fact, what level of outrage could you expect from him/her, given the circumstances? If your employer granted your requests, what would it say about the performance standards at your place of employment?

Also, consider Hillary’s attitude about her misguided vote to race into Iraq. She did so without even bothering to read the IE for herself. One cannot get the intelligence wrong on such an important matter as attacking a sovereign country without provocation. When, where and with whom, did she raise these points? Didn’t our troops deserve better? What does this say about the sub par performance standards, which she sets for herself? Wouldn’t she demand higher standards, even from an intern? Isn’t this an example of elitism gone wild?
