So what changed in the Terms of Service?

NO it's because the child avatar that wants to ****play is RUN by a dirty old man/woman - whatever. 

Totally different.

That's your impression ... and also no different from saying "she's asking for it".

I keep trying to find it but not having any luck.  Maybe it was on the screen of the TOS I read through and then clicked Accept to be able to continue using SL. But wasn't there a listing of about 5 or 6 other things shown as being changed? For some reason, the policy on Snapshot and Machinima policy comes to mind as being one along with the new Child AP policy. Any one else recall the other changes?

The only protection LL cares about is protecting themselves for legal ramification of CP.  This is not for protection of Child avatars or anyone else, or finding pedos or anything... its to prevent RL laws from being broken.

 

Well yeah exactly, so if they prevent the dirty old avatars from being able to be naked then they are protecting themselves from legal ramification.

Do you see that all like that if you leave the option to only rez avatars who finished loading?  I thought thats why they added that option and leave everyone as smoke clouds until they load.

Any idea where that option is? It would make sl so much nicer, and stop giving me nightmares 😁

Under preferences, general, rendering, i have "show avatars that haven't finished loading" unchecked, but I still see nasty misshapen system avis that don't have their mesh bodies loaded yet

How comfortable would you be playing a child avatar? Or someone of the opposite sex, or orientation? Or being a furry or a vampire or werewolf, etc. 

I'd feel pretty darn comfortable because I'd set up my SL to comply with the rules.

It's NOT that hard. It just takes a bit of set up and organization.

The modesty layers are there for the protection of Child avatars not punishment. It's so dirty ole...don't appear nude in front of people.  

Why can't people see the reasoning for it.

Because people don't want to throw away a bunch of time and money replacing their stuff to be in compliance with a rule that is in reality nothing but lip service.

This has been established for 100+ pages.

What next, people won't be allowed to be nude in their Moderate, fenced-in back yards?  (A child may walk by and cam over the fence!)  Come on, someone besides me has to see what a "slippery slope" this is.

Actually no, there is no slippery slope at all.  You have an entire content to run and be naked on.  I will remind you that some us are having to choose between being able to represent ourselves in a manner we choose too and having a great deal of the grid cut off from us.   Lots of us are choosing to lose that part of the grid so we can keep our in-world personas.  

I would also remind you that a great deal of us are paying good money to lose this access too.

An honestly, I don't see why the lab need to have any moderated regions at all.   All land supported by the lab should be G with the exception of Zendra which is a special case.   The Blake, roads on the continents, regions on the continents should be G rated.  If you buy a whole region or set up a private sim then you can set it to M if you want too.

I'm actually really tempted to make a child avie to see things from the other perspective and to see how hard it would be to comply with the rules.

Thanks Brodiac90, but that is not the one I am referring to. Seems like they made some changes to the Snapshot and machinima also that I clicked on to read. So addition new restrictions on taking snapshots and machinima in SL.

No one even knows if the whole thing was true or not, how do you expect us to know if they got dealt with or not?

There was enough there that sounded potentially plausible that my personal thoughts are that there were elements of truth to it. Following from it there might have been justifications for what happened to being blamed on temptations for certain adults to be attracted to younger appearing residents, especially the femboys, that LL in its wisdom decided that the best course of action was to as much as possible, remove the temptations from sight or ban those altogether.

It is like the alcoholic who by hiding all the booze, hopes to be able to quit. It very rarely works.

Coffee, I think you misunderstand what they are saying.

 

The people operating the child avatars for sexual reasons, (age sex play - role play) are indeed sick (mental issues) people. (dirty old men/women, they might younger) at any rate their fetish is for children.  If you do not agree with that statement...

 

That person is not stating all child avatar operators are in it for that kink.

Eh no. There's plenty places I can't wear my old pole dancer outfits. Don't mean I'm banned from those places, just that I gotta change before I go there. Same thing here. Nobody's talking about banning anyone from anywhere on the grid, they just gotta change before they go there.

 

Ignoring the problem of ignoring how attached people get to their avatars. I'll rephrase the question:

 

Why should people have to change their entire avatar to access the majority of the grid, because a handful of people want to run around naked on moderate land?

All YOUR choices. If you don't like them then RP the situations where you can and give up the ones you can't.

The ONLY thing that is a shame is that LL is requiring a change that will break or make unusable a lot of content a paying customer has already spent money on. THAT I hope they reevaluate and realize they need a better solution.

Yeah for me I have a feeling it wouldn't be. Although I do have some empathy for loss of inventory for those facing it. I kind of want to see how hard it would be to navigate general and moderate land with that mindset though.

This isn't in the new TOS at all. They don't have to not access moderate land they just need to use some common sense.

while things like prostitution, casual sex of all colors, pornography, rape, cannibalism, satan worship, bdsm, slavery, torture, mutilation, fetish play of all kinds, murder and so on are active on a much broader scale

None of those thing are illegal virtually.  Virtual depictions of CP are in many places.

Actually, no - the discussion (up until I took a break), was that Adults are not being told, "please give up being naked on Public Moderate land". 

Unless you mean Adult land?  If so, then child avatars are being given TWO contents to be "free" on, and adult avatars now have just ONE.  How is that fair, hmmmm?  What happened to compromise?

I would help you, you might be surprised at how hard things can be.

In my argument, I left this part out so far - my own answer is because some people WANT to be nude in Moderate regions, since it is allowed and "baked in" (grandfathered in) Moderate regions as a "right". 

 

Well maybe you should lose that right since some of us have lost the "right" to go to adult land.  Not that it was a smart or desirable right to exercise but before the tos change we did have that right.

Exactly, however some people want to blanket ban child avatars from moderate regions. And that is, to me, insane.

It's as hard as changing into another avatar when you want to access content unable to be accessed by a child avatar. No one is taking anything away from you. They are just taking it away from a persona that isn't REAL. You can still access anything including A rated land.  You just have to look different.
