B!G on Respect – Sandbox Rules
January 29, 2008, 9:50 am
Filed under: secondlife

The B!G on Respect campaign continues in our Sandbox. Running a sandbox, or public building space, in Second Life may seem like a daunting task. Users must respect each other’s space and abide by the rules. One of the things that makes our sandbox a great place to socialize and work is the level of respect each user gives one another. Our new slogan, “B!G on Respect,” will stay posted in the sandbox to promote a high level of courtesy towards our fellow Second Life resident.
