Yellow owls like kale salad HYOSW

The cattiness in this thread has reached a new high ( And I really did not want to say cattiness) You get the drift.

Exactly. If I could set my Linden home as Adult I would....not that any sex actually happens in or outdoors but maybe...one day.

The thing is: I'm totally for pushing out sexual *****, to get rid of pedos. But what is done here are symbolic changes without doing anything to actually fight these things. It's like ... putting fresh paint on the outside walls of a rotten building and telling the world "Look what a great house we have!". Anyways, I'm off to bed, good night/day/whatever.

Lol! "The Undie Patrol Group" First of all, It's Linden's game, so Linden's law - If the owners decide any avatar must be a blue cubic - it may be so. Deal with it. In my opinion (...anything that follows is just my OPINION!) : I am sure, this is not to save children from nudity, pornography or abuse. Nudity in SL is quite common. If any avatar joins into any mesh body crowded area, anybody is naked until all the high detailed stuff is rezzed - after minutes. This is not limited to adult regions. So if you like a clean, shiny, non nudity Second Life, then blame mesh for all that frequent nudity. Currently there is no technical way to cover any thrilling peace of the human body - in world-wide manner. (anyway this may end in default Burka for female, shirt, pants and Flip-Flops for male avatars) I am pretty sure, almost any child avatars, who join into sexual orientated areas and also act as sexual objects in adult regions were driven by very adult players who try to justify their sexual orientation. This does not happen by accident. For me, this is just sick. To hunt, blame, kick, ban those people will just cover the problem, but will not clean up SL of those sexual orientation. Most of them simply will re-spawn as an alt-ava. So, if something feels sick, you must face to it, not cover it by pushing it aside. As in RL. It is always a better idea to face those peeps directly in their virtual eyes. Better talk and tell them about NOT to justify their sick role-play. In my opinion it is a bit naive to think this new policy will make any world a better world. But it is a statement. Anyway, i am also worried this may lead into complications even for all the peeps, who were not sexual orientated to kids. On the other hand, people who are sexual orientated to kids pretty well know on what side they are on. They mostly ignore any policies already. I do not remember a thread rising up this fast since the first threads as G/M/A differentiation and Zindra appears.

This is one thing I would definitely agree with you on ♥

I know this is a big change and there is no fair way to protect everyone. We all see age in different ways. It really doesn't matter what our individual opinions are on what age looks like what. The Lab is supposedly reading all those opinions and hopefully will tweak or clarify the rules to provide themselves enough protection while giving residents as much freedom as possible Hopefully you are part of some groups that accept anime characters as adult and provide safe places for you to have fun in any rating of land you want. I am not allowed everywhere in my avatar, so I stick with places I'm accepted. I can argue and plead my case all over the place, but each parcel owner gets to decide if I am tall enough, furry enough, old enough (or too old), have the right color of hair, or have the right themed clothes for their parcel. It doesn't matter what a few opinionated people in the forums think about anime characters. You have a super cute look and you're not alone in what you like.

I suspect that many who set their region 'A' simply don't like rules/restrictions, and when you've set your region to 'M' you've basically accepted a restriction given by LL for such regions (sex only behind closed doors, parcel set to invisible, blah blah blah). So it's the feeling one gets by being more free that often determines the preference of owning an 'A' sim.

Not every Adult region is a 24/7 strip club or bawdy house. But in such places sex can happen literally anywhere, at any time (within whatever limitations have been set by the region or parcel owner, but even then they need to be there to enforce them). Congrats on having never tripped over sex in an A rated region, I guess? But your luck is going to run out, because sex most assuredly does happen in such places, often quite publicly, and if you suddenly appear there with a child avatar, you're running a VERY real risk of getting ARed for it. What people often don't get about ratings is that they are not "punishments." They are a tool so that we, as residents, can make informed decisions about where we want to go, and what we want to see or experience. Not using them to make intelligent decisions is just foolish. And you're going to get burned.

The Maturity rating is there to be utilized to keep people, that shouldn't be there, out of those designated sims. That's what they're for to keep them out so they cannot come in.

Well, it is entirely up to the owner of the region, how they want to rate it. And how are they abusing it? Now you are just being delulu here. You make no sense. The rating system is to ensure that the right kinda of content, stays on the appropriately rated sims. Will you stop playing the victim here?

Don´t tell me you checked the content on like 15000 adult rated sims.

Perhaps.....they don't want you there as a child avatar.

I do this and I'm on an adult avatar. There are a few moderate places I go that do have rules about how one dresses. If I plan to go there, I'll put a bra on if I think I might have a little nips showing. No skirts above crotch line (not that I wear those much) but I'll abide by whatever rules they have. If I can't go.to a general region because my skirt must be knee length, I'll do that. I was recently at a temple in SL. I had on foot jewelry. I was unaware, since they didn't have rules posted or a notecard, that foot coverings of any kind in the temple area were not allowed. A gentleman informed me, asking me to remove.the jewelry which I did. Not a hardship with any of those things.

Exactly. There are several BDSM sims, r**e sims, Strip clubs, nude sims, AFK s*x sims, there are Gorean sims, ect.

Keep the public out of your region, but don't abuse a maturity rating as access rule.

Well, the rating means that kinda content could occur there. And as everyone said before, talk to the creator to get the rating downed to an M or G.

Then bring that up with the region owners who deemed the land ADULT. If there is no good reason then they should be ok with changing it. However, LL has said no Child avatars on A Rated land. That's is highly unlikely to change no matter how much you disagree with it. This isn't like signing a petition and a rule gets overturned. LL makes the rules and even if ALL of us agree, I guarantee you the rule would still be in place.

Why are there no good reasons for an adult rating? Are you imply that adults shouldn't have their own space?

Because there is *no* adult content or action at that location?

Maybe or as is more likely the case, the Lab will determine is has given enough information for residents to figure it out. LL does not like to commit itself to a specific rule because that then ties them down to that one only.

The reason for the adult rating was the teen merger, which they told us was not going to happen.. But happened a year after the maturity ratings came and them telling us it wasn't gonna happen.. hehehe

Leave that up to the ones who set sims to A.

The whole POINT of A rated areas is that, in them, you can have sex in the street. That is literally one of the primary differences between A and M ratings.

And why do you think there is no good reason for it?
