Will The New TOS on Child Avatars Ensnare Short Adults?

You called me a lie a few pages back that this isn't happening but they're clearly feeling like people will be against her, even though several say she is fine. This is happening more and more for no reason.

What?????

Where?

LL can't get group chat to work properly, but you think they are masterminding a social media disinformation campaign?

Receipts please.

Oh you're awake, Good morning/afternoon!

LL uses the blog thing and has the forum where they have better control of the conversation, even if they don't use it themselves these days. When is the last time a Linden came on the General Discussion forum to quell a heated debate among residents regarding whatever the latest drama they instigated was? Been a while hasn't it? A year, maybe longer? Remember how they used to come on in a thread and quieten debates by simply explaining what they meant in the first place? Yeah I remember that too.

What about the previous picture? I thought I saw a post by you saying that one looked underage though quite a few said it didn't.

It’s unfortuate that one isn’t allowed to discuss actions taken by LL against accounts, because anyone that falls victim to an AR for being too young looking for an adult sim will be left wondering if they were the only one this happened to. If it was allowed, I’m pretty sure the forum would soon fill up with stories about being unfairly treated by LL for their appearance.

But LL won’t let us hang together, there is strength in numbers, LL would much prefer we each hang alone.

People are free to post all those details on other sites (not owned by LL).

No, the Mods there have forum etiquette rules like here so naming or identifying residents here is not allowed. They close or hide threads that break their rules like they do here but do see more and more. No virtual secrets

So, your "evidence" that LL is controlling the master narrative here is that . . . they aren't here.

Gotcha.

The proof that LL is run by Lizard People is the absence of evidence of Lizard People. Because only Lizard People are clever enough to hide so well!

We will all have our own opinions.

Right! It's suspicious isn't that there are no lizzard people avatars in the Library? Almost as if they didn't want us to even think about lizard people. 🦎

Yeah, I'm not sure how a democracy of discourse survives without that fierce and fearless voice for freedom and truth. 

Who now will speak out for doeEyes482.resident when her man does her wrong??????

Discord, social media, and blogs are all open for discussion.

Still, I still don't think word is really out there among the general population yet as I've not seen much conversation on the topic outside of here. No changes being made to the types of avatars showing up in Flickr fashion groups. Ads look the same as ever. There are a few tweets and posts floating around. I assume most discussion (not counting the forum) is internal and happening in community-based groups inside and outside of SL. Everyone else is still doing what they've been doing by the look of it.

It's been 2 years since he closed shop, but I can bring Mike out of retirement for this investigation, if needed. (There are 2 posts in a row but here's the first. I think this was foreshadowing our current predicament.)

so now, every time you get dressed you will have to ask yourself… will this outfit make me look too young, will this hairstyle make me look too young, will this makeup make me look too young, say goodbye to the joy of creative self expression, and hello to the overarching gaze of LL watching your every choice and every move (including by way of those ever thoughtful ARs your fellow citizens will provide)

I havent changed anything and i wont change anything, im an adult, ive always been adult, the threat of an AR, successful or not wont change how i live my second life. 

ARs for being underage in an A sim are a new nuissance AR against people that have done nothing wrong. Getting banned for a first offence for being underage on an A sim…. doubtful but you will be on notice.

Change your ways… or else.

At the end of the day, ive got alts that are older than many of the people posting in here

Gosh, then why exactly did you start this thread?  

[Ayashe Ninetails]

I'm not asking myself any of that, especially not after my romp through Flickr and Seraphim.

Got dressed today and none of that crossed my mind either.  Go figure.

Saw the same short petite women I always see in the same places I always go, too.

I've said many times to look on flickr. You will see the most popular styles. these styles that some people on the forum, which doesn't count for everyone on the grid, is the style that these minority of people dislike. lol

This is why I said. "Continue to look the way you want, and represent adulthood how you want it. Don't allow a small group of people to influence your avatar and your looks."

Just look on flickr alone, you will see how most people look and how a lot of those avatars are seen as adult.

It's ridiculous.

Nothing at all. No changes. Same avatar styles we've been seeing forever (short, young-looking, cute faces, revealing clothes, anime, cute furry) are still being uploaded to Flickr fashion groups and appearing in ads.

I haven't gone shopping yet, so I haven't seen who is running around in stores on adult land this weekend, but I wouldn't be surprised to see similar avies there either.

Yep. Either people haven't heard yet or they aren't overly concerned.

You posited the idea that this change of policy was all due to community opinion of child avatars pushing the Lab to change its policy and give the community even more power to rid the grid of child griefers? That's what your whole blurb came down to. I'm suggesting it was the Lab's idea in the first place which they instigated people to complain about and AR in even greater numbers which is having a spillover effect on teens as well as young adults.

Not much different from your idea except as to who initiated it. My proof is the residents in this thread complaining about 0-18 year olds not just submitting to the new rules and virtually grow up. What's yours?

Yeah, it's what I've been saying. Those avatar look and feel adult to a lot of people though, that's what I mean. So many see them as of age and only a few people on forum see them as "edge case" or "child avatar" Like you are going to let like 4 - 5 people scare you when it's like 20 - 80k second lifers enjoying second life? lol
