Maybe but just the particular way it is being done makes me wonder as to me it seems like the best way to enact a gradual transitioning to opening it up to a broader age range.

You could be right...the implementation is a clue. Maybe the reason my emphasis is more on my theory is because of the recent scandal and how that occurred right before this 'crackdown'.

Scylla Rhiadra Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 Maybe it's just me, because I need a break from it, but it's feeling like the mammoth child avi thread is starting to get a little mean. It was really pretty civil to start with. 😞 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solar Legion Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 That thread? It is a metastasizing cancer that is difficult to keep up with and from the outset was destined to be a dumping ground for the board toxicity ... As far as compromise goes ... Good luck with that. 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been trying to watch it since Friday and still haven't made it to teen emperor part of the movie yet without falling asleep.. It's sooo relaxing of a movie. hehehe Edited May 7 by Ceka Cianci 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, I disagree Solar. Although, as I say, it's starting to feel a little meaner in tone, it's been, overall, really surprisingly civil. What's more, it has led to discussion that has had a visible impact on, for instance, the FAQ. In some ways, its the sort of thing this place could be used for, even if it too seldom is. As for compromise . . . I think LL wants a workable one, and I'm hopeful some of the suggestions will assist them in achieving it. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's the compromise: Revert it all, go back to the drawing board, ask for actual, meaningful input form the varied communities and utterly ignore all of the hardliners on either end. Minimum. But hey - that's coming from someone who is sick and tired of this song and dance between the varied groups. Be very glad I am not the one calling the shots - no one would like the outcome. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's seemed to me like some days there was actually an interesting & productive discussion, but today it was repetitive & off topic. Overall, though, I think we've seen some compromise too. Child avatars and adult ones both have to give a little. It looks like LL will give a little bit too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're not going to be able to "overturn" the new rules -- nor do most people want to. But we can make suggestions and point out issues. There has already been one revision of the FAQ that was sponsored by questions and comments in that thread, and we've been promised, again because of things said there, some sort of clarification on what the "modesty layer" should look like, and what it is supposed to be comprised of. We've had Tommy Linden and others popping in occasionally to note that they are paying attention -- and the evidence is there that they are. As i said above, I think that this thread is, in some ways, this forum at its best, and most useful. Yeah, there's a lot of garbage of course, but there is also some serious and useful discussion that is making an impact -- or as much of one as we should ever expect to be able to make.

Watch out @Scylla Rhiadra you have competition!!! Thank you, but it was really easy. I just plopped down the campfire, created a prim and set it to media, and attached a wearable seat then a marshmallow stick 🙃 I think the most I did was pose my arm, which in the Alchemy viewer (and black dragon) is really easy 😁 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
