How can anyone make you call someone anything?

If you didn't do anything quickly tranfer your stuff over to another character

Yes, I'm curious too. Unless, of course, she was in control of the keyboard?



Staff reads these boards, so I'm sure if they missed it in the dialogue in vmk, that they will catch it here on the DIS after it was posted.

Doesn't always work.
Might not be able to trade it all since some stuff isn't tradeable, including rooms.

Please do not use VMK speak to get around the DIS word filter. If you shouldn't say it in the game, you can assume it should not be repeated here.

I am sorry to hear about what happened, but the owner of an account is the one held responsible for anything that happens on that account.

I used to own a car.

A couple of years ago, I wasn't using it much (I live in a big city and walk to work), so I lent it to a "friend" who needed to get around. One day, I got a nastly letter from a small town where I had never been, saying that I had an unpaid parking ticket - now very late, incurring extra fines. I had actually been in England on vacation at the time of the citation. Since my "friend" hadn't paid, I was "prima facie" (on the face of it) responsible for the ticket, since it was my car.

You are "prima facie" responsible for what goes on with your VMK account.

If you're lucky, you won't get banned for 10 years (I didn't see what she wrote). If/when you get back in, always be sure to either log out of VMK or otherwise lock the PC when you step away. If you're using Windows, Windows + L might lock it - hopefully, she doesn't know your Windows password!

When you get a bank account (or you might already), you sure wouldn't want your sister accessing it and transferring money to herself or her friends. If she did, you could still be responsible because those are probably the rules of the bank's website - since she logged on to YOUR PC, with YOUR password.

What if your sister sent an inappropriate email to a boy she knows you like? Or your teacher?

What if she changed just a few words of a paper you're writing for school?

Locking the PC, or logging out of certain sites is important in a lot of situations - even if you're not away for very long. If nothing else, I hope this serves as a warning to other VMKers to carefully guard your login.

Good luck! Sorry, I don't mean to lecture - I actually hope you don't get banned for too long!

good story, I also did the same, I was at work and lent my car to a friend to pick up another friend. Long story short, he wrecked my car into not one, but TWO other cars. Since that was the time before mandatory insurance, I was on the hook for BOTH other cars. took me 10 years to pay it all off.
