Slashdot Mirror
The Elevator Effect In Second Life
There is an good video on NPR about how real human reactions translate to the virtual world. It's interesting in view of the question posted here about rape in Second Life. The video covers a little experiment in SL where a reporter gets together with a psychologist to see if some unspoken human rules apply in the virtual world — such as staring or standing too close to someone. Perhaps surprisingly, in this world where you can be or do just about anything, you can't break these unspoken rules with impunity.
I get the same feeling here: I'll post something, and then someone else will post just below me, and it'll be stuck there right next to my post FOREVER.
Freaks me out.

Can you fart in Second Life now?
The typical Slashdot user would be more excited about such an exchange working the other way around.

Do you know how annoying it is for a ten foot tall neon pink ogre to jump up and down in front of your face and not stop until you log out?

Can you please stop whinging about people whinging about people whinging about slashdot on slashdot. It's just too much.
Do not try to read the dupe, thats impossible. Instead, only try to realize the truth
