0 Rolig Loon 26,958 Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 It looks as if they have just reduced the verification process from two meaningless hoops to one. We've been on an honor system since last year anyway, so this just makes that empty system a little less annoying. Link to post Share on other sites
0 Nyll Bergbahn 1,051 Posted July 9, 2012 Author Share Posted July 9, 2012 I just discovered the revised KB same time. Well that took everyone by surprise lol. Link to post Share on other sites
0 valerie Inshan 5,259 Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Sorry if I sound dumb, but it looks like that applies to NEW accounts (or I misundertand the whole thing, which is quite possible, lol). Then how do you get age verified if you already have a teen account and want to get A rated when you turn 18? (this is pure rhetoric, I cannot even remember when I turned 18, it was so long ago! ) Link to post Share on other sites
0 Nyll Bergbahn 1,051 Posted July 9, 2012 Author Share Posted July 9, 2012 Does this mean everyone over 18 when creating account is now automatically adult verified even if they hadn't age verified before now? And from the other recent post, looks like people may be logged off and re-rated if the age verify shows an older age to that input when signing up. Link to post Share on other sites
0 Rolig Loon 26,958 Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Darned if I know. I'm guessing that I turned 18 longer ago than either of you, so I never had to deal with re-verification either. This is really confusing. Link to post Share on other sites
0 Nyll Bergbahn 1,051 Posted July 9, 2012 Author Share Posted July 9, 2012 The Account Verification page was also edited today by Linden Lab http://community.secondlife.com/t5/English-Knowledge-Base/Accessing-Adult-land-and-content/ta-p/805975 However, seems account verified can still access Adult. I'm age and account verified anyway. Link to post Share on other sites
0 valerie Inshan 5,259 Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Dang. /me sends a (young) alt and creates a group "over 50 age verified" Link to post Share on other sites
0 Nyll Bergbahn 1,051 Posted July 9, 2012 Author Share Posted July 9, 2012 oops no. I think I'm misreading that. Account verified may not be enough for Adult. Link to post Share on other sites
0 valerie Inshan 5,259 Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Great. My alts cannot TP to Adult places anymore. wtf???? Link to post Share on other sites
0 Rolig Loon 26,958 Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Well, if one of us figures this out, let's be sure to trade notes. I don't know what to tell people any more. (It sure would be nice if WE could contact a Linden once in a while.) Link to post Share on other sites
0 valerie Inshan 5,259 Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Well ladies, I can feel a headache coming after scratching my head too much. Time to go to bed on my side of the Atlantic, see you tomorrow for updates! Hugs you! (and don't spend the night over it!!! ) Link to post Share on other sites
0 Nyll Bergbahn 1,051 Posted July 9, 2012 Author Share Posted July 9, 2012 No val, if your alts were 18+ at time of signing up they should be ok. I opened a thread on the Forum so maybe get more info that way too. http://community.secondlife.com/t5/General-Discussion-Forum/Major-change-to-Age-Verification/m-p/1594753#M70703 Link to post Share on other sites
0 Nyll Bergbahn 1,051 Posted July 9, 2012 Author Share Posted July 9, 2012 I've sent a PM to Jeremy Linden inviting him to explain the ramifications of this new system on this thread. Maybe he will reply. Link to post Share on other sites
0 Rolig Loon 26,958 Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites
0 KarenMichelle Lane 2,566 Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 What an interesting development. To be sure this will save LL some pocket change. Payment Provider Services have been looking for ways to charge more for their services, especially here in the US. I imagine that the various 3rd party services that LL used to query for proof of age status started to become less product differentiated and more expensive to utilize if you didn't also use one of their mainline payment processing products. A number of my real world clients have been making credit processor changes due in part to the new regulations passed by congress a few years back. The pricing of these services has been rising as a result. Link to post Share on other sites
0 Nyll Bergbahn 1,051 Posted July 9, 2012 Author Share Posted July 9, 2012 Hi Rolig & val, Posted on my Forum thread by someone affected by this: I just got off of a live chat with concierge support. From now on, to age verify, you must open a ticket and send a photo copy of your legal identification. This effect is cascading and will, eventually, affect all residents Link to post Share on other sites
0 Rolig Loon 26,958 Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Great. Thanks for the information, Nyll. I'll copy this back to a couple of the OPs who have been asking. Link to post Share on other sites
0 Nyll Bergbahn 1,051 Posted July 9, 2012 Author Share Posted July 9, 2012 Damn, getting more confusing!! Grid Status: Age Verification Error [Posted 2:40pm PDT, 09 July 2012] We are aware that there are some issues with trying to access restricted areas of the grid. We are looking into the cause and expect this issue to be resolved by the end of the day. In the meantime if you need assistance with verifying your age, please contact support.

0 animorf Kawadias 1 Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 Well I just checked, and sure enough there is nothing but just listing your date of birth as any kind of age verification. What a waist as, no kid is going to fess up to being a kid and are going to fess up to being under age. And I have had to go through such things as Tobaco and Alcohol training, and have seen kids walk in and present no ID or a fake ID to buy booze as if they was 21 years of age. I say come on LL get on the ball do you really expect under age kids to be honest. Get real and put some kind of real age verification process back in place either off of a drivers license or pass port or some form of Military or student ID, like it use to be at least then LL has a real attempt to verify. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
0 Rolig Loon 26,958 Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 To judge from this post in the GD forum earlier this afternoon, we are seeing a work in progress...... "From now on, to age verify, you must open a ticket and send a photo copy of your legal identification. This effect is cascading and will, eventually, affect all residents."
