My deepest condolences for your loss. Thanks for letting us know about this.

Especially when said people more likely than not are concerned more than anything. Calling genuinely concerned parties 'idiots' or 'fools' and those wishing to get to the bottom of matters 'haters' isn't exactly the kind of mindset I feel is adherent to the Tao of Linden.

If this were the case, we would be facing grid-wide outages the day of. The Crowdstrike incident has more or less been technically resolved. Legally and economically.. that's another story. Pretty sure Disney wouldn't touch Linden Lab with a 8 mile barge pole. Take care of yourself first, dude. can't have a Second Life without a first.

SLAMS PRIM DESK THANK YOU

Uh, no. And honestly, I rejoice in knowing your sentiment would die quickly in a Governance meeting, if the Lab's words on the matter lately are anything to go by.

Look, I'm going to be clear as I can here. I have NO issue with banning child avatars from accessing adult content. None. Zero. Nada. It's bad PR, it's a legal minefield, even with protections for the lab like the aforementioned CDA-1996 Sec. 230, and is overwhelmingly condemned. My problem, is that adult avatars that present as petite, that are styled in anime fashion, that are effeminate males or otherwise gender nonconforming, over the years, have gotten the short end of the stick over the years. Were some of those bans justified? Probably - I've seen a few and in some of them, yes, Linden Lab was right. But at the end of the day the problem in that regard alone, and this is the crux of it, is that there is no clearly defined guidelines. Yes, height is not a sole determining factor. Awesome - I'll let time decide whether Linden Lab follows thru on their word. But we need images, examples, that show what proportions and the sort are okay, what kind of behavior is okay, and what aren't, for both governance as a litmus test, and for the community as a boundary. If some people still get banned, then it's on them for not adhering to the guidelines set, but right now the guidelines have a larger circular error probable than a shotgun fired at 10,000 feet. That's all I want. Nothing more. Nothing less. If the lab were to do that, and stick to it, I would shut up about Governance probably forever.

I haven't spoken much about the modest patches, but I honestly don't have a problem with it. Child avatars shouldn't be engaging in any sort of sexual activity on SL, full stop.

Oh, so we're resorting to slander when I dare ask people use accusations that heavy and damning with the respect they deserve, that's cute. Blocked.

Seconded. It would just exacerbate the underlying issue of this, where Linden Lab provides no guidelines worth a damn for the child avatar policy, and would put petite adults, GNC and other avatar groups (even those like Anime or hell, at this point, tinies) at grave risk of governance action. At that point, we should just pack up this grand experiment that Philip Rosedale started years ago, because that would probably at least, piss off a third of our userbase. We only recently got our asses out of a population decline. This scandal isn't helping matters. Let's not dig a deeper grave.

This whole *****show reminds me of that bit from Spongebob with the Realtor. "He's a pedo, She's a pedo, they're a pedo - I'm a pedo! Are there any other pedos I aught to be aware of!?" The allegation that someone is a kiddie diddler being slung around like mud is a insult to people like me and countless others, who are survivors of childhood sexual abuse. Treat the allegation with the weight it *****ing deserves.

It's almost as if.. people don't mature the same way, or at the same time. Someone call Bixyl Shuftan, the people need to hear this one.

If wearing underwear is a crime, then I will be going to SL21B in a bra and panties.

I see the coincidence too, make no mistake, but all I have to say on that is that a broken clock is right twice a day.
