Jaysson Turbo Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 I know these types of things are restricted to Adult areas. However I read that if it's above a certain height in a Skybox out of normal view that is it allowed? You would probably also have to make sure your skybox has no windows or has one of those fake skymaps around it. What I read seemed like an official source but could be outdated or I could be remembering wrong. I'm aware that you can camera scroll to basically everywhere. Even more so with 3rd party clients. But I can't find anything official now? Most places you can rent forbid putting up the access lines that block entry. So the best I can do is have a very high sky box. That is 100% non-viewable from outside. You could still cam inside of it no problem. That is never preventable. I think there is a feature to make Avatars hidden right? So I could tick that option. Let me know if that option has faults though. Like is it full proof? Even if it is that does not change the rules... so my question is! Would any of the follow be allowed in Mature Mainland? -Fully Nude Avatar (Of course not a child avatar.) -Very sexually explicit items inside home. -Nude Pictures on walls inside home. -Sexual acts inside home. Is there anything else I could do to help? OR is Adult land the only option. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaysson Turbo Posted November 6, 2018 Author Share Posted November 6, 2018 Then why is there adult land? What is allowed in Adult Land and NOT in Mature? Well I guess adult land everywhere can have this content? Is that the main difference? Mature (Private Parcel, hidden out of way as best as possible) is equal to Adult area? Thanks for answer but I will see if others bring up anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aethelwine Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 Adult land is basically for public adult rated content. Moderate allows private adult content ie behind closed doors no need to use privacy settings. With respect to nudity. That isn't adult. There are mole depictions of nudity on general land. It is all about context. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solar Legion Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 (edited) Commercialized or public facing adult content - more often of a sexual nature. No, the ability to cam into a build does not make it public facing. Edited November 6, 2018 by Solar Legion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaysson Turbo Posted November 6, 2018 Author Share Posted November 6, 2018 Thanks I'm going to read over the links and information. I also found this post which is basically the same question. A little different though as mine included nude pictures on walls? Which can't be hidden with any sort of setting. But for now I'm going to assume it's okay. If I do rent land I'm going to be as careful as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drake1 Nightfire Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 You do still need to set your land to hide avatars to anyone not on the parcel. Sex acts are fine on M land but they cant be visible to the general public. Nude pictures are ok, sexual pictures are not. Scratch that, photos of nudes are not allowed on M land. "The Adult designation applies to Second Life regions that host, conduct, or display content that is sexually explicit, intensely violent, or depicts illicit drug use. A region must be designated Adult if it hosts, advertises, or publicly promotes: Photo-realistic nudity." So apparently if its RL nudes, no. SL nudes, yes? Found on this page has the info: "Adult activities cannot be advertised or publicly promoted on moderate land. Such activity can be done privately, behind closed doors on Moderate land, and is forbidden on General land." The key words being the bold blue ones. Behind closed doors as in hiding what goes on with the privacy filters. IMO it's always a smart thing to do anyway. DO you really want some perv camming in and watching you? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kia Kiyori Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 Yes, as Drake1 Nightfire said - About Land > Options > make sure to untick the box, "Avatars on other parcels can see and chat with Avatars on this parcel". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nudity is not forbidden. You could run a nude beach on a mature sim...in theory. And you can have all the sex furniture you want in your private home. Doesn't even have to be a skybox and you'll find no regulations about how high/how secluded your love nest has to be. The only thing that is strictly reserved for adult areas is everything that is a business or open public area in terms of sexual activity. Best examples would be places were escorts work or people meet for public sex. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And to be honest I don't even know if that would be something I would do. However maybe that is okay? People are giving different answers. But that's only because it is kind of difficult a lot of this wording in the official terms can be misunderstood. Either way thanks it's good to know that most or nearly all these things are fine under the right conditions. I.E Avatar marked as hidden helps.

Qie Niangao Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 32 minutes ago, Jaysson Turbo said: Well I have read the guidelines and I think if anything only the sexual pictures on walls would likely break guidelines. One possibility would be to script all the RL pr0n to only show the nudie pics while you (or specified friends) are on the parcel, and otherwise show G-rated landscapes, still lifes, etc. That would only limit the exposure, though, because while it's showing viewers outside the parcel could still cam in and see it, too. In fact the best you can really do on Moderate land is to limit exposure. For example, it may seem that hiding avatars from view outside the parcel is at least as good as a wall -- but not really, because an intruder to the parcel can see for however long they're on the parcel, and a whitelist ban only extends 50m above ground level, so any random passerby can fly over and cam down to peruse the notti bits (unless / until a security script ejects them). In general, though, if you make a good faith effort to comply with the rules as best you can, you'll probably be fine; at least I don't recall folks getting hassled by the man for some stray stuff behind walls on private parcels. All that said, Adult land is fine, too. A bit spendy, maybe. And of course if you're already connected to a Moderate-rated community, moving is disruptive (as many remember from the Zindra refugee experience).

This is the correct answer. The G,M,A maturity designations were in place long before the "privacy button" was available in About Land's Options tab. Before that, the rule was "whatever you want to do in the privacy of your home is OK." Linden Lab is taking a bit stricter stance now, and several posts from Lindens have indicated that you should have Privacy enabled on your Moderate land when doing Adult stuff. However, this is not practical on some rental properties like my high rise apartment building. And as Qie notes, the Privacy feature can only mask what avatars are doing, not what pictures or statues or furniture is in the home, and cannot mask even that from another avatar on the land parcel. Adult land has the fewest restrictions...but I've never had any problems doing anything I want on Moderate land. (What YOU want and what I want may vary, so don't take that as a license to be licentious!) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bree Giffen Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 It should be ok to have nude pics on walls. I should know. I walk into people's homes all the time and see them. I think fine art nudes are the most tasteful. Tasteful as in acceptable, not actually tasting them cause you can't taste things in SL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alyona Su Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 Anything and everything is allowed anywhere and everywhere no matter what until you are AR'd. Which is why most private parcels setting is to hide avatars inside from outside and vice-versa. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ceka Cianci Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 (edited) When you think of Adult,think of like the sex industry/business vs private home.. You can have everything the sex industry offers in your private home on moderate land..You just can't advertise it to the world to draw people there.. Adult can advertise it to the world,moderate cannot.. That's the really really short version of it.. hehehehe Edited November 6, 2018 by Ceka Cianci 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fionalein Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 (edited) There is a definition of "behind closed dorrs" somewhere, it includes: Parcel set to private Not visible from outside (sexual pictures and items, for avatars see above) Access restricted to a certain group or few individuals The last is only available with banlines and only 30 or lower above ground ... so basically skyboxes and companies that rent out wit a "No banlines" restriction are out - orbs do not guarantee access controll - especially if your landlord demands you to set it to 15secs delay or longer.

Selene Gregoire Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 Generally speaking, if it is mature (M) land, as long as it can not be viewed by the general public, it's fine. G rated regions are a different story as those are the regions that allow underage (RL) residents. See also: Cindy's link. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conifer Dada Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 (edited) Most people these days only have a vague idea of what the ratings mean. Most people these days aren't really bothered whether you're breaking the rules or not. BUT . . . You need to watch out for those who are bothered, because they are always 'right', even when they're wrong!
