J4NE Zane Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 Can somebody tell me if there is a minimum Second Life age to visit Adult sims, I keep getting 4 day old newbies visiting my Adult sim. Obviously some of them are alts, but i'm sure I read somewhere that you had to be a few weeks old at least, thanks Jane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talligurl Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 I think any age limits are set by the sim owner themselves, and I do not believe it needs to be adult to have such limits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many adult sims have their own limit set on the age of the account and most of them deny access to child avatars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syo Emerald Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 No, there is no certain account age an avatar must have passed to enter adult sims. LL does not see newbies or alts as "less of an adult" than accounts that have been here for months or years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My reply to the first quote that sparked this debatte was not the part about child avatars, but the last part, about account age which was the original topic of the OP, before child avatars got mentioned later in the comments. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You set the age limit (30, 60, 365 days...) and the detector will block those under the chosen age, access for you. They are relatively inexpensive, but quite effective.

Syo, when i first started in SL i used to hate the "no avatars under 30 days " rule so many sims had. i can't imagine doing that to others either. i know an annoying person could use it to mess around but honestly keeping 500 people out to deal with 1 bad person is what really made me mad back then. i still don't like when people discriminate against new people rather than helping them. i always try to help new people as SL has a huge learning curve and i want people to stay...not leave due to things that make their new SL harder. but, i guess everyone is welcome to make whatever rules they want in their sims. they pay the bills so they can decide who comes onto their land.

It's not about not helping new members, but there are special regions for that. Problem is more that new members run to adult sims even before they know how to put shoes on... they don't want help, they want sex... and so soon as possible. And.. keep 500 out .. it's perhaps a bit harsh, but ever had a flock of griefers entering your sim?.... you really don't miss that 500 if you'r under such attacks. Also the word "discrimination" ... come on... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I vote we put all new AFK sex places RIGHT by the exit of the newbi rez zones. that way they can have their Slex and don't even have to look for sims for it. that way once they are done and all Slex'd out, they can go into SL properly. *starts passing out a hat so they can collect lindens to purchase properties around starting areas. wonders if some of the male/female/furry/vampy avatars would mind going afk in those places....as a 'social service'*. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also the word "discrimination" ... come on... honestly that is what it is ...here is the definition: "treatment or consideration of, or making a distinction in favor of or against, a person or thing based on the group, class, or category to which that person or thing belongs rather than on individual merit: " i did mention in my comment that sim owners pay for their sims and can discriminate based on avatar age as it's not a human rights protected area in most countries. simply calling it what it is as per it's definition. this is just a general comment but i do find it interested that people that are ok with the act of discriminating against others (not saying you Alwin) usually find it hard to have it called discrimination. i'm sure there are much other words that people use to make it sound better. in the end, every person in SL is allowed to run their sim as they want. some will discriminate against furies, babies , newer avatars or many other groups. as long as they don't discriminate based on sex, race or other protected grounds, i may not like it but it's not my sim so not my choice to make. the people being discriminated against can always find many other sims to go to where they feel more welcomed. one interesting thing to note for myself, a lot of the sims that i had gone to when i first started that had these rules. i ended up putting them on a blacklist for myself. have actually never gone back. as someone that gets regularly discriminated against daily in real life, i refuse to normally frequent businesses that discriminate. i've found that mentality carries into SL for me. it's interesting as i never realized i was doing it subconsciously until this topic here. it's interesting what you learn about yourself when reading forum topics and thinking about your own replies.
