It's about the events system being misused, and also states what is an event and what not... If you examine closely, it appears like the free ugs event that is posted for babylonia each day, isn't really an event according to the guidelines:

Quote:

An event is defined as a special group activity that is led by a host on land owned either by the host or by a group the host belongs to. Examples include discussions, group meetings, hosted dances, classes, tours, and competitions. An event is framed by a beginning and an end time. Thus ‘24hr Sales' are not events.

 

I think the hugs thing starts at nine, but i'm pretty sure there's no host at that time Smiling Distributing the hugs as such is offcourse not the "problem", the matter is about it being posted as an event....

I don't really think it'll get us in trouble ;), but was curious what others think about it...

 In a sidenote: i do think that someoine monitoring the event calendar inworld more closely could benefit the events calendar and the quality of events....since many of them really are 24h sales kinda stuff....
