/me reaches across her keyboard and triggers a gesture she hasn't used in a decade filling local chat with 🎶🎵I love this Thune!!! Ooh laa laa laaa🎵🎶 Too soon?

I was hoping this discussion could be about some of the other topics, but the AP topic keeps taking over.

There are adults that like having their diapers changed, but we aren't kink shaming. Also, plenty of obviously adult avatars act like children. Some are right here in the forum. I have no idea how region owners are going to police their own regions, but it should be up to them for those edge cases.

You can post that in your profile now. I don't mind interacting with child avatars on G or M. I do it all the time. However, if I ever met someone on adult land in a child avatar, I would leave. No interaction. Not even a "hi." I think it should be the responsibility of the adult wearing the child avatar to not go to adult regions. They're for adults. Like anywhere else, if they want to go to adult regions, they should put on an adult avatar. Any (obvious) child avatar (and the account used) should be AR'd and restricted from adult areas for a while. If they try to go back after their "vacation" with the child avatar a 2nd time, the account should be banned. By "obvious" I mean they run their avatar only as a child. Profile saying they are 8, love their mommy, and have a bedtime of 7pm. Profile pic of a child in a toddler bed. That's probably harsh considering I have friends who exclusively use child avatars, but that is my opinion on child avatars in adult regions. They should not be going to them. As Rowan brought up, edge cases where you can't tell whether someone is playing a 16 year old or an 18 year old are a different story. No matter what rules they make to identify young avatars, someone will find a way around it. I guess that will have be up to the discretion of the region owner.

Fun sound! I love the very physical dance, as well!

I am so sorry for your loss. Your pain is tangible. *hugs*

Interesting! Love it!

By day, he's a mild-mannered -ummmm - secretary, but by evening he's a hardened freelance investigator and photographer for the National Blab. No one will ever recognize you now.

I know Pearl!!! Wait... I might be Pearl.

Is it just the fact that they made contact first that these woman were considered "forward and flirtatious"? I reach out first all the time. However, I am selective and don't send something to every guy in the region like I'm on a desperate fishing expedition. A few times guys were suspicious about a friendly comment on their profile or something they were wearing. That's okay. I'd rather know right away if I mistook a friendly profile for a friendly person. I hope guys don't completely give up on reaching out just because some people are suspicious, paranoid, or just mean. I've noticed fewer and fewer people reaching out as my SL years have gone by. I don't know if it's because of changing cultural ideas and angry mistrustful people or because I hang out in different places and do different things or just my avatars age that might be intimidating.

"LL is looking to improve policies relating to conduct both within the broader Second Life community of users and within the company as well (e.g. how staff interact with the wider community, and policies relating to potential conflicts of interest / the perception of favouritism, in the case of the latter)." This is the only part I care about. I want an enforced internal policy regarding how employees use their powers. Residents should not have to compete unfairly against Lindens. Permissions to access certain private account info like payment info, IMs etc. should be compartmentalized to certain departments only. Anytime god powers are used, should be documented. As far as the age thing, anything that puts the responsibility on the adult using the child avatar is a good thing. That way adults doing adult things don't have to be paranoid that a child avatar will TP in and start snapping pics. It's on the adult playing the child to police themselves.

Tagged you in it. I wasn't even close with the title.

This is the thread I was talking about @Love Zhaoying. I wasn't even close on the actual title of it.

This belongs In the RL pics showing SL thread.

Resiliency might be built by still being in a standing position when a hardship is over, but just because you're still standing doesn't mean your're stronger or any better off. I've weathered bad times terribly. Whining, crying, and throwing things would be considered mild. Those hard times came and went, but I am not stronger for having gone through them. No resiliency was built. No recharging with positive experiences would help. A chanting or prayer, music or dancing, exercise or a friend to talk to? Not for some things people go through. Weathering stress in the right spirit? Nope. I still like to focus on SL as a temporary escape from minor annoyances at times, but there I nothing I do inworld that makes me stronger or more resilient for having logged in.
