Solar Legion Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 No - Your account's "born on" date is hard coded as when you created your account Exception is the Forum - Most have varied dates owing to changes in the software and none of us have our actual Forum join dates anymore Why would you want to? Mind, I am aware that a few younger accounts might want to do such to circumvent a few security measures .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eddy Vortex Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 They say getting old is not for wimps. Whether you like it or not, ageing is an inevitable of life in both RL and SL. You might as well embrace it. Welcome to the wrong side of 10. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out of curiosity, how and why? Other than enabling sim / parcel owners to restrict access by age? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arduenn Schwartzman Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 (edited) For the curious: just check out the OP's SL birth date and (alleged) RL age as mentioned in her 1st Life profile. For the math to check out, I'd want to change my SL birth date too, because, according to these two data points, she would have been 7 years old when she first joined SL.

Garnet Psaltery Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 My ancient rez date gives newbies the excuse to say "Oh, you're so OLD! lololol". Would I deprive them of that pleasure? 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marigold Devin Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 I love being able to look at people's profiles and see their rez date, but I wouldn't lose any sleep over this feature becoming non-visible to the public. We have the ability to actually write our rez dates on our profiles if we want other people to know this information, just like on FB we can choose not to make our real life birthday public. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought Starlander was joking, saying tongue-in-cheek that Arduenn was being mean. I saw no meanness. (Mainly based on the fact that no one has ever treated me negatively because of my rez date, not when I was newbie, and not as an oldbie.)

Oh great ancient one, enlighten us with your knowledge and wisdom. 😆 I'm always facinated when I meet people who've been around a lot longer than me, I learn so much from then about how things used to be back in the day and how different the world was. I guess that applies for both worlds. 😄 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than enabling sim / parcel owners to restrict access by age? As I recall, some content creators used to (maybe still do) offer free starter packs to avatars under 30 days old, and removing the DATA_BORN flag from llRequestAgentData would certainly break that, just as it would break automatic rez-day cards and the like (which you give your friend before their rez-day and then the cards open on the appropriate data and give your friend a gift). That's two uses for the flag I can think of offhand, but more to the point, LL just isn't going to remove some long-standing functionality like that and hope nothing too much breaks -- that's not how they operate, and it's not going to happen. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand the point, but I can't believe it's really very effective as a deterrent to griefers, and it is a lousy introduction to SL to new residents to find themselves unable to get into half the sims on the grid. It prevents brand new alts of griefers from being able to access. The lousy introduction should be blamed on the griefers, the ones who are the reason for that feature being implemented. Half the sims? Shirley you exaggerate! Edit: Also, how would anyone know when to celebrate your SL birthday? Who wants to have to go around reminding everyone? People gripe about this kind of thing in RL every day, yet you guys WANT it in SL? YOU'RE ALL NUTZ!

I disagree, your initial answer was perfect to the question: No. End of story. @Arduenn Schwartzman went out of his way to dig for a motivation for the question and then invited everyone to go look beyond the forum to question her stated r/l age. That to me wasn't typical Dutch bluntness, but judgementalism and likely will devolve into another trolling thread if the OP decides to respond. 1 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silent Mistwalker Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 This isn't the first time someone has asked this question about the SL DoB. Each and every time it has been asked, it's been asked for the same reason. Someone joined SL before they were of age to do so. I doubt it will be the last time it happens. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleMe Jewell Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 (edited) In this case, based on OP's profile, while she might have joined before the proper age for doing so, it is also very apparent that she wants to convince folks that she is much younger than she likely is in RL. We have enough deception in things online and in SL. I see no reason to make it all easier. Edited February 10, 2022 by LittleMe Jewell 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
