Who would need to grief to disturb the piece, could just all start shouting (**&&^%^%$%*((&^&%$$$&*((&^&%$#@#@!@^*&*(())(&^%$$ and waste the time of LL on many regions at once. If the owner of the land, like anything their right to play that way, could be an Adult region and the owner could still not want people to swear. It was commented about blaming the parents? my experience with a Mum that does not swear much ever, probably ten times in 40+ years, that it is the learning from other children that makes kids little terrors it is why my Mum taught me about sex before some whackadoo kid could teach me nonsense, that just of course meant I was the school yard authority but I used my knowledge wisely, I just laughed at people getting it wrong, instead of telling them what was right.

Madelaine McMasters Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 I was taught to flat out curse, and to do it obliquely. I might call you an SOB, or say "When you get home, I hope your mother comes out from under the porch and bites you on the leg". 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solar Legion Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 11 hours ago, Amber Mizser said: just wondering because I have been told that child avatars are not going against the TOS of secondlife if they swear While I am certain this has been said already and possibly in a somewhat more polite or veiled manner I will still restate it and as bluntly as possible: Child Avatars are not real children. At all. There are no clauses anywhere in the Terms of Service nor the Community Standards regulating anything about Child Avatars outside of the rather explicit ban on their interaction with Adult (sexual) material. There are clauses regulating the acceptable language, actions and animations of all avatars contained within the Terms of Service and Community Standards however, these clauses are somewhat broken down by service section and - in the case of in world effects - region rating. In the future you might try reading the terms of Service and Community Standards before posting a question concernng the behavior of any avatar. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love English people swearing! Its like they say the most rude stuff but making it sound so polite. My personal favorite must be "you tw@t!" During one of my visits to friends over there I have received proper swearing instruction (forgot most of it since it was late, in the pub), what confused me most was how you could call people from the south a certain word and its funny, but say the same to a northener, and its like the rudest thing to say. Or it was the other way around. Not sure anymore, have to experiment with that again next visit...

SL parental guidance is somewhat lacking in many cases. Little heathens that they are altho I was present at M-rated club when a child avatar accompanied by their SL father arrived. The SL child then protested to their SL father that people present were swearing in the chat. The SL father then proceeded to remonstrate the swearing people, that there was a child present and could people consider their SL child and modify their behaviour. The club host then modified the parent and child out of the club 😺 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, roleplay. Sounds like fun. Maybe next time I'll pay a visit as Padishah-Emperor of the Known Universe and have my Imperial Guard reprimand anyone who does not bow down to me. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The club people would have thought that was a pretty good roleplay. But nah! the father never had the imagination to do something like this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My personal favorite must be "you tw@t!" On a trip to England several years ago, a friend taught me the proper use of the great big C word as a devastating insult. I save it for special cases. 😉 There really is an art to is. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
