Well yesterday I decided I'd go ahead and buy those rooms I just never gotten around to purchasing- and bought the Nautilis room, old Space room, Frontierland shooting gallery and the tiki tiki island room.

Well as I purchased them I named them- and most of my room names tend to be a reference to something else or some pun or something- and my tiki room ended up being "Life is a Beach"

Well I then went from room to room and put down some of my random stores of furniture I had- and when I was in Life's a Beach- a friend popped in and shortly after another did as well- Friend 1 actually says "send me a message on the other site" and "my name is the same there as here"- boom warning popped up for her and the other- but not me

A little later more friends show up- one telling me "you are so going to get into trouble for this room title" and that is when I realized that oops I might get into trouble for it- at the time my room was full with 3 mickeys and a wait to get in- dh says I was third on the list- so random guests also started coming in- but I knew most people in the room and all were discussing that there is a beach in here- and the name shouldn't be a problem- and so many were saying beach over and over- referencing the beach in the title of the room and the one in the room- no one was using it in a bad conotation-

Shortly after this I noticed that many people disappeared from my room- I figured dc'd or off to do something else.

Later I'm back in my "Life is a Beach" room putting down a river piece and attaching it to my existing river- (Thanks Quiet Lil Fairy :) ) and another friend walks in and tells me that one of the people in the room got banned for saying beach in my room earlier- and how it wasn't fair- and how some are really upset... While we are talking he gets a warning (I didn't)

Pixie-Stick popped in and commented she was surprised I was getting away with the room name- and I agreed- decided to not push my luck to much- but still skirting the edge- I added at in the title so now it is "Life is at a Beach"

I was able to finish my ride and even play a little fireworks before the usual dc- and getting off for the night-

Today I find out that many many people who were in the room got warnings- I've only heard of the one ban though... dh and I didn't get any warnings at all for the night...

I'm guessing the room title brought attention to the conversations going on in the room- but just wanted to post a warning to others- to be cautious- seems some of the corrections are getting a little more random- mind you a few were expected (the one who said something about sending her a message- is constantly saying stuff- just a matter of time before she is banned lol)- but others- from my recolection of the conversation were no warrented...

Sorry if anyone got in trouble in my room- but I was enjoying my Life at a beach... lol
 
Hey!
I know of whom you speak. He is a member here. When I found out about the 24 hour ban that he recieved and the reason it was given, I went a little psycho! LOL This person, of all the people I talk to on and off VMK, is the LEAST likely to use the term "beach" inappropriately. I immediately contacted VMK about the incident as I'm sure his other friends did. Not long after, his ban was removed. Why was it a ban in the first place? I see other players calling people "beach" all the time. He gets slammed for actually using the word as it's supposed to be used! Oh, please, VMK. Please check the chat logs BEFORE issuing any bans!
Don't feel even remotely responsible for the warnings or that ban, Virtually Me. If VMK truly didn't want players to use the word beach then it shouldn't be in their dictionary.
 
So many people use the word "beach" incorrectly it's gotten a bad name for itself. pirate: I personally like beaches I live near one, but the water is always freezing. I wish people would have the maturity to use the word "beach" for it's real purpose.
 

OMG, I AM SO MAD AT BAD VMK GUESTS!

Ok, first the "as-hole" (they recently made users not allowed to say hole anymore for that reason)
Then the "beach" thing
Some people are now saying "fun"
WHAT NEXT! You have the right to have that room title. If only people were more mature... That's what you get with public schools where I am now. Luckily, I am a private school person.
