Erm, child pornography actually IS the original topic in this thread . . .

 
No it isn’t. The topic is actually, what the landlord should do about having seen some drawings from a tenant, which look like child porn in the eyes of the landlord.


Look at the thread title...

So you have dual standards, believing at one and the same time, that some images which portray naked children are pornography, and some aren't.

 
Yes I have. I consider some pictures/drawings of naked children to look pornography, while other drawings for me seem not phornography. Don’t you?


No, I can spell and type, and express my opinions coherently.

I took the time to read a bit further than just the thread title...

Yes, the thread quickly devolved into multiple posters repeating the same advice, which they had cut and pasted from the curriculum of the course on "What to do on the basis of little or no information other than hearsay, but adhering to ambiguous instructions from authority, so that you cover your posterior" which is a core subject in the University of the Bleeding Obvious.

I don't necessarily take any op's statements at face value - particularly because of the widespread semi-literacy here, and not only from ESLers such as yourself - and attempt to identify possible motivations, falsehoods, and personal agenda. Challenging the op is one tactic that bears fruit much of the time, as in the recent thread in which a duplicitous farrago of semi-truths had been concocted regarding the behaviour of someone who had supposedly hijacked an avatar. This time, it turned out that the images were NOT child pornography at all, but of yiffing individuals of, by definition, indeterminate age and maturity.

But the thread title was an invitation to the pearl-clutching ladies who lunch to express shock and horror.

And it worked; from your previous forum participation you are one of those hyperemotional types, and you rose to the bait, adding nothing to what could have been a discussion, as did the majority of respondents who treated it as a thread which (rightly) should have been in Answers.

I am sorry, but I do not see why you need to react this way in a debate, so you need to call me this and that, and behave insulting...

 If the OP sees things on her land which in her eyes are improperly, she have all the rights to ask the tenant to remove them. That was my answer to her, in the thread. I haven't seen the drawings, I cannot judge if they are showing child porn or not, but at the least I can tell her, that she has all the rights to decide, what she will have or not wants to have on her own land. 

Please tell me, why this - my opinion - makes you offend me as a person? It is okay to disagree to the subject, but why do you need to evaluate me and the other participants persons in the discussion?

Let's get one thing straight; I refuse to take any responsibility for you being offended - that is YOUR choice of response, and it is nothing to do with me.

As far as insults are concerned, please point to me where I have called you "this and that" or said anything that is not factual, as far as can be determined from your posts.

Hello

I am renting houses, I have a resident who puts many textures (almost 10) in his walls showing child pornography "drawings".

The SL TOS talks about "Child avatars", and contents like photos, but, what about drawings?

Its ok if i let him? do i must report him? there are any TOS about child pornography contents to quote?

Thank you for your help!

Just chiming in because I don't think I saw the obvious response.

 

Hinaichigo,

You own the land. You parcel it up and lease it out.

You can eject and ban anyone you want for any reason you want or for no reason at all. The TOS gives you that power and owing the parcels allows you to execute your decision.

Don't make this your moral dilemma problem, you are a business person. Lose the tenant, rent to someone else.

You don't have to be right or wrong in regards to your perception of your tenants behavior or art preferences.

Erm, this is a General Discussion forum, not Answers, and clear-cut definitively factual responses are not necessarily required, but the expression of a cogently argued opinions is welcomed - even if, in your case, it may be wrong.

The drive. . .

^^ that ^^

report.

if LL on report decide that the images do contravene ToS then issue resolved

if LL decide the images dont contravene ToS then the business question is: Will these images affect my other rentals in the vicinity? If yes then boot the tenant

if you are not sure what the answer is to the business question above then can pose the moral question to yourself: Do these images upset/annoy me personally? If yes then boot the tenant

possibly maybe

altho I think OP maybe cant decide which comes first, business or morality. Is a open question this

like can the same thought processs be applied to both. If so then do we think about it in the same way. Should we even. And if so then why would that be. If not then why not

Or can we think about it in a Church/State way? If so, or if not so, does or would this way of thinking about it impact other ways, and if thats so then what might be the outcomes of these. Like can they be separated and if not then why not. If they can be seperated then why might that be. Stuff like this

if so then is a topic for discussion and is in the appropriate forum I think

+

if not so then a further question for discussion is why did OP post it here? Is a popular topic this apparently. It gets discussed quite a lot this topic all by itself in quite a few threads. Like why you post here dude !?!!

seems to occupy the minds of people does this question. Which is not a bad thing in itself, if only bc it gives people something to say, when they want or need to fill in their time between meal breaks

Ya know, if we reroute this thread through every every derailing discussion topic then I think this thread would be a square knot!

Dammit! You appear to have seen through my strategy for converting moron-fodder into intelligent multilogues.

I suppose if I asked you: "What's a metaphor?" you'd say, "I don't even know what a meta is".

Ohhh, still in our grumpy corner today too, are we? :matte-motes-impatient:

Linguistic inertia

Yes, I see. Linguistic inertia. Also called the syndrome of the dead fish.

No, that refers to either
Trimethylaminuria
or Necrophilia.

Arhh, sorry, you are right... I always confuse the words linguistic inertia with the word Trimethylaminuria. My fault. I must try to remember, that only one of these 2 symptoms smells.

(Okay, I must admit that you almost made me smile here - buy only a small smile, of course. More like an almost invisible ripple in the one corner of my mouth. )
