Will The New TOS on Child Avatars Ensnare Short Adults?

If I was wearing an avatar that I thought might be misconstrued as under 18, I would stay far away from certain "family friendly" playgrounds/beaches, "barely legal" clubs, escort sims, daddy/babygirl venues and adult baby sims.

Have LL not closed those places down yet?

No, but there is currently only one person on the "family safe" nude beach. The other sims are more populated but I don't feel comfortable going there to find out if everyone is adhering to the new TOS or not

If one is part of those sorts of communities, how long would one be able to either refrain from them and find another outlet or look for another platform?

I think the longer LL allows those places to stay open the worse it looks for them. Everyone is going to understand there will be some time after the rule changes before the crack down, but how long should that be? After awhile if no action is taken then those who play child avatars might start to think this is just window dressing rather than anything substantial.

as 'you" kids have time to adapt, stop kicking if others also get time to get their stuff done, if LL decides to give the TOS date as line for you too you'd all be crying out loud again.

The sky is not falling. LL doesn't want to ban half their users because some Karen reported them. If you feel concerned, use your own good judgement to decide if your avatar looks sketchy in the environment she's in. I don't think you need to worry though. You could ask the sim officials where you go, if they think your avatar looks ok. They are the only ones who might eject you. LL would not ban your account for this appearance. 

Would you consider making your inworld avatar look more like your forum avatar, but still with bunny ears and tail? I think she's cute. 😊 

Thank you, I think shes beautiful, but i have no idea even how to begin. I’ve never touched a face slider.

The two situations are not at all relatable and no one is crying. Please refrain from such provocative statements. 

  • 1) Those who play child avatars are waiting on content becoming available. 
  • 2) Those sort of places were always dodgy and there was nothing stopping LL then, or now, closing them down. If LL allow them to stay open it makes a mockery of their statements in regards to keeping child avatars safe. I'm not sure what's controversial about saying nudity beaches where both adult avatars and child avatars are naked and sexualised should be closed down is a thing.

If it were me, I would probably just adjust my appearance to make it appear more mature, until I was fully confident that no one could judge me as being under eighteen

No. of course they haven't.

They were legal under the rules before and they will make whatever minor changes are necessary to remain legal under the new rules.

you get 7 weeks to breath and make a solution, while you put the stakes out on others who in your eyes are bannable and should be deleted instantly. That is pure hypocrisy.

Just stay away there is safest for you, for sure when you vent these kind of thoughts there also.

Oooh, so you're defending the nude family beaches ..

Brodiac is expressing frustration that they existed and continue to .. and probably will continue to.

i'm not defending anyone, just pointing at the hypocrisy by that poster.

The frustrations by those little ones is easy to solve ; mind your own business and don't go to places where you don't belong.

The existence of 'family nude beaches' should never have been allowed in the first place. Naked children hanging out around naked adults has always been illegal and against the TOS.

You do understand the cocnept of mitigating and aggrivating circumstances don't you? It's what judges use when they consider sentencing guidelines for convictions. At the moment there is no option for child avatars to comply with the new TOS. It would be extremely unreasonable to punish someone for something they have no control over. That's a mitigating circumstance. 

Those who operate nudity beaches should be allowed some time to become aware of the new rules and adjust, yes, I agree, which is what I said in my original post. However, I would argue that these places know and have known that they cross the line for a long time. They now know, or should know, that what they're doing is very much against TOS, yet they carry on anyway. That is an aggrivating circumstance. 

Being aware of rules and choosing to ignore them is very different to being aware of the rules and having no option to comply.

That poster is pretty extreme in looking to trash any avatar and community that doesn't appear under 10 and plays childishly.

The problem is the members of the child avatar community who didn't support nude family beaches and wont mind their business and stay away .. ?

This is the problem with vague LL rules. They end up needing to clarify and that in turn defines legal edge cases.

If people cant stand right next to the line, and that's a problem, the line has been drawn incorrectly. The new rules are actually an improvement in most parts.

Problematic nude beaches were standing right by the line and safe, that's why they were able to persist. The new rules remove the nude part and tighten up a lot of other behavior, but that doesn't and wont ever remove the problem, it just changes the dance required to stay legal.

If so, you have nothing to worry about..

All your various comments that reference avatars that might be edge cases, people who have hitherto been able to safely and without fear walk around in any region, owner permitting, and people's RP that might have been a little risque in past. Your attitude in this has been they should all change and grow up so you can stay the same.

Can you provide examples? Also, it's LL who changed the rules not me. People in the child, adult, can't tell thread posted their photos seeking feedback. If you look at that thread youll notice I haven't reacted to any of the photos. I'm a child avatar and won't be in adult sims, what I think is pretty much irrelevant.

Whether I think they should age up or not is irrelevant. It's LL who will be judging not me. I've also stated on numerous occasions that child avatars should follow the rules, and have accepted on more than one occasion that I will have to change my avatar (new skins with modesty layers at the very least). If Tweenster don't update then I'll need to get a new avatar and entire wardrobe of clothes. Everyone must take reponsibility here. 

Whether it's your intention or not, it sounds to me like you're annoyed borderline edge cases are no longer allowed in adult land.
