Age Verified Parcel (mature sim) Vs. Adult Sim

[Ronnie Pawpad]

Hey, me and a friend have got a club running on SL, and since Teengrid has been closed and Minors are now alloed on the main grid, we're a bit concerned with content issues..

Theres an option in land settings to enable only age verified residents in, but we are un clear what 'requirement' this condition needs to allow a resident access.

For example, A friend of mine is not Age verified, but has Payment info on file and thus can gain access, friend of mine who have neither that i knwo of but have been in an adult sim are unable to access our parcel with said option enabled, and also, a alt account of mine has neither but can get in the parcel, becuse i added him tot he allow access list.

So my question really is, whats the difference, and what is required to access an Adult sim, and an 'Age Verified Pacle'?

Age verification means the person has submitted documentation to Aristotle (assigned by Linden Lab to handle it) to prove he/she is 18+.

Adult verification means the person has provided Linden Lab with payment info in the form of a credit card or verified Paypal account.

Both are acceptable to Linden Lab and permit access to adult sims and but adult verification alone will not permit access to sims where the owner has designated age verified only.

As your club is on Mature and Teens are restricted to General, there is no need to invoke that option and you would be alienating so many of your potential customers who are adult verified only or who are not verified in any way.

BTW the Age Verification is a relic, a legacy. It was the first control  system when SL only had 2 ratings: PG & Mature. At that time, the Age Verification was useful for some places located in Mature sims. But today we have a third maturity rating: Adult. Actually the Age Verification is a no sense

Ah ok, that makes sense, the club (compared to some i know) isnt a 3D porn site, as such, just obviously a place for adult residents to hang out and party, But as anybody know teenagers with access to the net' will try to fake these settings to access 'adult content' and as far as i know its just my/our responsibility to ban and report it as soon as we catch wind of the information regarding X resident.

It's true. But if your club is in Mature land, you club cannot have Adult content

[Ronnie Pawpad]

Is 'Adult Content' restricted to Images or do we have to set ground rules about user interaction, (Ie, Adult role play and attachments)

PS, the clubs a Skybox

Linden Lab's guide on Maturity Ratings is here:

This will tell you all you need to know. It doesn't matter if your club is on the ground or a skybox. The land maturity rating is what counts.
