    So what changed in the Terms of Service?

    in General Discussion Forum

    Posted

    As someone who exclusively plays a kid avatar this is my take. 

    I agree with about 99.9% of everything the Labs are doing. Kids shouldn't be on adult land. I'd also like to see better policing of G land to ensure adults behave too. 

    Even the modesty layer is mostly a good idea, it just probably should have been implemented from the start. The problem is the execution where it breaks years / $$$ of content. My avatar is effectively broken and will be banned on 30th June unless updates are forthcoming.Playing an adult avatar is not an option for me no more than people who have male avatars and would never use a female one or vise versa. 

    Read the FAQ aimed at content creators. The body MUST have a baked in modesty layer that cannot be removed. Simply having a 3rd party skin from another creator with a modesty layer is not enough. I actually fully expect the labs to delete all the old versions of child avatars from people's accounts if / when things are updated. That's what I would do. The intent is to make it impossible for kids to be nude. Again, this is mostly a good idea, although part of me feels sick that I need this modesty layer - I've done nothing wrong and never will but will be punished because of the actions of a few.  

    The execution is poor. My premium renewal is up this month. I don't see the point in spending £99 when I don't even know if I'll be able to remain in SL.

    Not sure how much clearer they can be. All child avatars must wear a skin that has a modesty layer that cannot be removed. Using an alpha has no bearing on the rule.

    Well I assumed they wouldn't but I thought I'd throw it out there.

    It goes further than that. The skin must be made by the creator of the body and be locked in so there is never an option to be removed. The body must never be able to be nude. If you buy other skins with the modesty layer but the body is still capable of wearing a skin without the layer then you're not compliant.

    Thank you for this statement but I want you to know this one policy change will basically cost many of your residents years of work and thousands of dollars to comply with it.  Some of us are not sure why we should bother any more.   There are a great many child avatars at this time are down grading their accounts.   We understand you are trying to do the right thing but this time you are punishing a lot of us for basically no reason at all.

    My yearly premium is up this month. I doubt I will be renewing.

    I know this sucks, but you are either gonna have to comply with the new policies or leave. Again, I am sorry you are going through this though. 

    I'm just glad that Tweenster is still supported and the creator has said they are going to update. I literally have like 800 items of clothing that has cost thousands of linden dollars. Are you using SMB Madi? I know that's not been supported for a while now.

    LL requires child avi skin creators to bake the modesty later right into the skin. 

    That's my point though, there are very little skins specifically designed for children. Most of them are really old. A lot of kids use skins designed for Maitreya but with the flat chest / no genitalia versions. I can't see many creators going to the effort. They just won't make them so you'll be stuck with the default option the avi creator made.

    The adult land thing never bothered me honestly as I never went to A land anyway. Currently though my avatar is broken until the creator can come out with an update. I don't go around without clothing anyway, but there's nothing stopping people derending my clothes..... does BOM underwear count as a modesty layer until things can be updated? I'd hate to get banned because other people want to be sickos.....

    An observation about interactions between men in Second Life

    in General Discussion Forum

    Posted

    I've never played an adult male or female so I can't speak from that side, but I have a lot of experience of talkin to people as a child avatar so perhaps I can offer a unique perspective? 

    I find that lots of female avis are happy to chat, I assume because there is no implicit threat? My guess is that more women would chat with men if they didn't feel pressured or under threat etc? 

    As for men. Most men absolutely ignore kid avis unless they're with a significant other who is already chatting to you, and then it's more out of 'being polite,' or humoring if you know what I mean? 

    It's interesting, isn't it? Women chat because there is no threat, men do not because there is nothing to gain and when they do it's because there's something to lose if they don't?

    What is there to do in SL?

    Another thing not mentioned is family. Families in SL take many different forms. Some people will be adopted into families even as adult avis or use pregnancy huds to have babies such as Zoobys. 

    There are even people such as myself who play child avatars who have families. 

    This is me and my mom 😁

    It's pretty simple really. If like me, you're a child avatar then don't be surprised if people ask you to leave their Adult or even Moderate sims. Don't argue, just politely apoligise if you didn't realise the rule was No Child Avatars allowed (some places advertise as PG but don't allow kids) and then leave. 

    Similarly, if you're an adult avatar, don't be surprised if you got to PG sims and get asked to wear more approprioate clothing or take off certain objects. 

    There is a time and place for everything and adult and kid activties don't mix.

    I know of a few AFK users who were banned because of child avatars coming into an AFK venue, hopping on a sexbed with said AFKer, engaging in sex, while a third party took pics and AR'd the AFKer for *****

    Sounds like either trolls or competitors using the Lab's quite rightfully strict policy on those sort of activities to nuke businesses for their benefit. 

    No genuine child avi would go to any of the formentioned places. We get enough grief as it is in moderate sims nevermind adult ones....
