lacheriealorca Galaxy Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 Hello to all I'm opening this topic, because I didn't really find any information about the contents that are allowed in his profile Is the profile general? moderated? adult? I often see profiles with very trashy photos, even harcode, nudity. I've seen profiles with very trashy pictures, nudity, and sometimes dubious descriptions. I'm not sure if it's the right thing to do, but I'm not sure if it's the right thing to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coffee Pancake Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 For in world profiles From https://community.secondlife.com/knowledgebase/english/profiles-r395/ Quote Important: Content in profiles must be General, and must obey the Terms of Service and Community Standards. That said .. I don't think that rule has been enforced once. There is a lot of hardcore porn, gore, general nudity and stuff that needs a substantial amount of kitten pictures to unsee. The page is also crazy out of date and implies privacy setting exist and mean something! As for here .. I guess the G rated requirement is more enforced. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ceka Cianci Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 It's probably one of those things where they wouldn't do anything unless it was reported. Like a lot of things on the grid.. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randy Pole Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 (edited) Profiles that contain content that is not considered "General" will find themselves rated as moderate or adult and will not show in searches unless moderate and/or adult content is ticked. Profiles are automatically moderated by some form of word match - for obvious reasons we are not actually aware of what these words are. It should be noted that only the bio and 1st life text seems to be included in this automated text moderating. Images which violate the general rating but are in profiles can be reported in the normal matter. Edited January 23, 2023 by Randy Pole 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arielle Popstar Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 Considering the Bonniebot site and its data harvesting, I think it is more important than ever to be sure one's profile contents are within G rated limits as the information and graphics are no longer just within S/L itself. I've already cleared everything from my inworld profile to prevent being profiled by people and entities outside of here. I suspect as more and more become aware of this, others will likely tone down the pornography as well as the information within their profiles. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think people would more just make sure they don't have a rabbit hole that someone could go down, rather than change their ways.. As long as you know where the end of the tunnel is, it shouldn't really be something to worry about.. If someone isn't sure, they ya, they may want to clean things up and cave in some places they left open. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coffee Pancake Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 (edited) Most people have no idea their profiles are now on the open internet. We're all still working under the illusion we have privacy settings, remember, https://community.secondlife.com/knowledgebase/english/profiles-r395/ says .... Quote For each profile section, you may select: Everyone - Allows the whole world to see this part of your profile on the web, even if they're not Second Life Residents. You may not allow Everyone to post on your profile feed. Second Life - Only Second Life Residents may view these parts of your profile. Friends - Only Second Life Residents who are on your Friends list may view these parts of your profile. Nobody - This option is only available for your profile feed; if you select Nobody, you may stop everyone from either viewing or posting to your feed.

I remember when those profiles came around.. I never liked the idea as soon as I seen them and felt we were getting put more out on the net from LL themselves.. The moment those came around I made sure my profile was a dead end.. The way some feel about that website, is how i felt about those online profiles back then.. I wasn't putting my faith in their security measures anyways, when any user could come in and copy and paste and put what they wanted on any web site.. I set those because they were there, not because they felt more secure.. I would be telling people to not be putting certain things that can hurt themselves on their profile more than anything, because that's always the risk, bots or no bots..

I welcome people being free to put whatever they want in their profiles. That way, I'm more likely to be warned away from people I wouldn't want to interact with. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleMe Jewell Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 I have reported forum profile pictures and inworld profiles when any of the pictures are extreme adult photos - i.e. any sexual organs showing in the picture. I don't bother with anything just showing breasts or pictures showing intercourse without actually showing the sexual organs. The forum profiles will get fixed faster than the inworld profiles, but the inworld ones do get changed also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think once your profile is deemed Not General, it remains that way. Just my observation over the years when someone's profile was Adult yet had nothing at all in their profile. Just another 'secret' LL policy? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there a way to flag ones own profile as Adult (even if it isn't)? Or would we have to post a saucy pic and wait for someone to report it? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it has more to do with the content of words that make them adult.. Otherwise I don't think the images really get picked up by the filters where keywords do.. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I often see profiles with very trashy photos, even harcode, nudity. I've seen profiles with very trashy pictures, nudity, and sometimes dubious descriptions. I'm not sure if it's the right thing to do, but I'm not sure if it's the right thing to do. I don't understand this issue. I tend not to read profiles. Sometimes I have to with a problem tenant or a griefer and then I can be shocked, despite the "I've seen everything" status I have on the Mainland. But I don't work at mine, even as I see others spend hours and hours getting theirs "just right". I want to explain something about how doxxing works as I have often been victimized by it. It's easy to say "Oh, it's already on the Internets". By which they can mean that someone went to Spokeo; somebody actually paid one of those silly detective/background sites; somebody pulled something from somewhere where they knew to look -- and then they aggregate and amplify it. It's these last two functions, when not in good hands, that bother people. For example it's easy enough to find me on the Internet and get my RL name; then my children's father and my children; then even my mother-in-law. Then griefers call her or make specious pizza deliveries. That is not a nice thing to do with an elderly woman. I personally don't enjoy getting phone calls in the middle of the night when someone plays the Soviet national anthem. Yes, I'm in a public directory. But it's how that information is then used that makes you question WHY it is READILY aggregated and more to the point, amplified. "Amplified" can be even just about how larger type on white background can make something stick out way more than anyone ever planned it to. After the things I've experienced in RL, there is really very little anyone can do to me in SL or the Internet at large. But that's not the norm, and not everyone shrugs about how their profiles are handled. I've talked to friends who seem oblivious as to how their profile comes off, or seem shocked that somebody remembers something they wrote on it years ago one night when they were high and forgot. The Internet never forgets, except when it does, and context is lost either way. Edited January 24, 2023 by Prokofy Neva 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am surprised there is a requirement to keep a profile G because this is honoured in the breech only. You do have the option to set your profile to G or M or A. The problem with setting it in G is that people may not find it. So sometimes people put the slider on A just to show up in search if they are in business. But that can also work in the other direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
