I see that your response of attacking someone else who happens to disagree with you, no - that isn't cowardly at all! I'm downright proud of you for sticking your neck out. Well done! Brave, brave lad! Mmmm.. is there such a thing as a lion with a "passive aggressive" roar? Maybe when one meets a really big Wildebeest that's just too big to take down, but you know - he still has is dignity after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since someone hurt your feelings, I'll just do you the favor of leaving you alone. That way it CAN'T have been me. Good luck recovering. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck recovering. When someone offers a rebuttal to something you said, it isn't because their feelings were hurt but because by instigating the exchange, you've given them permission to respond in a like manner. That's how I see it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Love Zhaoying Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 Now that person's gone, where were we? It wasn't about randomly insulting one another, I think. "Controls" somehow morphed into a "generational war", complete with insults! That was weird. I think the generational aspect is irrelevant, because anyone can "be someone else" in Second Life. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Others do like it if it helps with the roleplay. They are getting off to porn in their other screen.

Chery Amore Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 (edited) Oh so this is the hot new topic! Let me practice *clears throat* "How dare you!" I kind of thought that statement the OP talked about just meant things are going to progress. Personally I hope they clean up G rated areas a little more. Like adults should go to general regions with undies on and stuff. I might have just said that to seem on topic...

UnilWay SpiritWeaver Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 (edited) On 5/18/2024 at 2:35 PM, Arwyn Quandry said: A post on the Canny Feedback site by Birdie Linden recently revealed that there's a plan to create what they described as "finer-grained controls for content maturity": This brings up a lot of questions about what these finer-grained controls might look like and what they'd be applied to. Do you think we'll see region ratings change from simply G, M, A to something new? I would like to see 'A' and maybe also 'M' split between sexual and violence. A-rated erotic themes should not be in the same rating as graphic violence. Those are two different ratings and if someone wants to mix them then they should have to declare picking both. But by default they shouldn't be the same, and 'Mainland' A should be rated for the sexual-A but not allow the violent. M, if it had the same split, would probably fall somewhat similar. It's in 'M' where we see a major split in 'Western' countries between the USA and everyone else. In the USA violence is liked but sexual themes are not, and most of the rest of the western world has the opposite opinion. So a split 'M' would probably be something to make a lot of places more 'non-USA friendly' by having 'action genre violence' not be included by default into 'older age appropriate themes like romance and taxes'. But this time I'd probably say Mainland ought to be flagged for both as knocking one of them out would be too dramatic a change. I think it would be even easier to do this with Marketplace. Flag your content on a spectrum of action (M) <---> violence (A) or levels or romance (M) <---> erotica (A). And not presume that if it's erotic it involves decapitated heads and vore like we do now. Another thing I'd like is to be able to flag our profiles with a rating or maybe even have 2 profiles depending on the rating of the search. In my 'that won't happen' we'd have a third split on this for 'political ranting allowance levels' where you'd have to be 'A-rated politics' to be putting out ranting political signs and things meant to trigger folks... but the drama of even figuring out what goes where on this one would be too much to be able to even make a policy.

I think that it's a little hard to explain but: Category the First - Some people never get much and are happy; while some are not happy and wish they get more. SL may help them with that "lack". Category the Second - Some people got plenty and are happy; while some are not happy and still wish they get more anyway. SL may help them with that "want more". Category the Third - Some people got MORE than enough (compared to most healthy people) to be generally satisfied; while some are not satisfied anyway and still wish they get more and more and more. SL may help them with that "insatiable hunger". ..and on and on through Category the Nth. I just happen to fall into Category the Third. I don't truly knock those who fall into other categories, however I have trouble empathizing with those who seem "dependent" on SLex to the degree we read in these Forums, that they "freak out" over changes (the "Sky is falling", "LL will take away my fun", etc.). I understand addiction, I truly do. I am also not accusing everyone made at losing their "fun" of being "addicted". Possibly.."entitled". Why do people care how much sex or SLex other people are having? I'm glad that SL has sex. I'm glad it has other activities too. I'm glad we can all do whatever we like, as long as we're not breaking laws or hurting someone. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
