I think it is way past due to be doing this clean-up. We can't "clean up" people with no integrity, but we can do our best to try to keep them away so they can't hurt other people. They certainly shouldn't be using this site to do their dirty business.
I don't understand people like this, I just don't. Creators work hard and many of them depend on sales to supplement their RL work or use SL AS their RL work. People who steal and sell are just pond scum, period. Get some self esteem and do your own work!!!!!
There is no solution because these people will just create a new Avatar and SL either can't or won't stop it. There are whole web-sites where people can upload and sell or give away stolen items. It's mind-boggling. I will ban people just because I suspect them. Like Tat said our land our rules...
I am sorry to hear that Jacon and I completely agree with you about the tiers. I doubt SL is going to lower tiers though. I wish you luck and hope you will be able to save some of the regions.
Thank you Quecay, We both appreciate your support and that of others we are hearing from now. It's hard for me to lose parts of the Duchy I had such a hand in creating, but we still have the majority of it and it just wasn't worth the daily drama to keep the rest. I am looking forward to some amazing, happy, fun times and Tat and I have plans to make it even more so!
Presenting the Wildenwood Shire, Region Design!
Wildenwood Shire is a rural, rustic countryside design that is very versatile in it's composition. Currently it is set up with rural cottages and a lighthouse/winery, but if one purchases the basic design without the homes, it could be from any era.

Hello Friends,
I have created a new Varriale Designs web-site. It is a work in progress and right now only my newer homes are there, but I plan to slowly add them all. Of special interest to RC would be the Chateaus and Mansions section and of course the section on the Coeur Duchy. Enjoy!
