Actually, I've already witnessed what Love suggested. In lame IMVU, if you hide your gender, cause that's an option which was added later. The ability to hide location and gender, 2 pieces of information that nobody needs to know, just like account age.... If you hide your gender/location, a lot of places will boot you. Perfectly fine with that. Talk about "weeding out" the "wrong" people as a few of you have stated ;p....
Why is the business of these people, to know where you are in the world or if you are male or female? That makes no sense, especially since you can be whatever you want in these worlds. But account age, that has nothing to do with your actual age gender or location.

Are you going to come to me in world and make me pay for my sins? I deserve some vigilante justice, right? Get the pitch forks and torches, cause the council of anti-freedom of speech is coming for me~
So people disagree with you and it's not going against your human right of freedom of speech. I mean aren't we allowed the freedom to the same thing? You are acting all kinds of weird, I mean apparently dissenting opinion is somehow taking away your right to free speech. Make it make sense dude.

Just now, Love Zhaoying said:
If I were "young" and knew what account age meant / implied, I wouldn't trust someone who chose to hide their account age.
I guess people who hide account age would also be denied entry to clubs, etc. (like no PIOF).
I just don't see a point in it, and not cause Im old an afraid of change. Lol. But because it's a poinless ask, with very little to backup why it should be done. Then to top it all off, people point that out and basically he goes and makes an ageist remark in peeves. Like dude, you were just complaining about this.

I agree with that, which is why we wouldn't have to "lie" ;p. Account age being hidden allows for "simply not saying anything".. Not that I would have lied to begin with. I would avoid the question awkwardly.
But account age is not equal to your actual age. I mean tell mee how how long you have been in SL is even similar to that of how long someone has lived?

Are you purposely missing the point? c-c
No, I am just not seeing your point when you can clearly say the same remarks you seem to be experiencing. Again as I said you invalidated your whole point, when you made that ageist remark in pet peeves.

I'm not concerned with them knowing my RL age. I'm concerned with the way the account age plays into the social experience. I already tell people who I actually know, how old I am. However, that's not what i'm focusing on right now. I'm focusing on the initial interaction which account age does play a factor in with more people than some people here want to admit, or care to observe.
I only bring up RL age as a point since most people here are "role playing" whether they admit it or not, lol..... " I'm just here to escape. Would be a shame if you ever mentioned ASL to me "... I know they're already set in their ways of creating a new alt every 2-3-5 years, but it would be so much easier to just hide the account age. o`o...
Yet you are able to call people ancients, when they disagree with your point. I mean like if they do allow that, it doesn't matter. But you really invalidated your point, when you made an ageist remark,

If I didn't know your account age, I wouldn't be able to say anything about your age. :3
Um, that still basically makes your point moot. you can't go and say oh I don't want to see avatar age in SL and then attack someone with the same thing you were complaining about. When someone happens to disagree with you.

My biggest pet peeve is people making posts about something that they are complaining about. Yet when you disagree, those same rules don't apply to the subject they are complaining about. Rules for me, and not for thee kinda thing.

We could fix that.
No, my point was, that you are calling us ancients. Doing the same thing that you were talking about in your forum post. Kinda hypocritical if you as me. Oh wait, I know what's going on. Anyone who disagrees you gets the same treatment you were complaining about. Okay, I got it.

Don't ask for any change at all, there will always be a million on-the-spot-made-up-exaggerated reasons for the ancient ones to disapprove. It scares them.
It doesn't scare me, I just don't see the point in it. And I mean weren't you just spouting off about people attacking you for your SL age in your forum post? Hypocrite much?

I don't know, I just don't think how long you have been in SL and your worries are that much of a worry really. I mean I have been here for 16 years and almost 2 months. It doesn't remotely bug me. And if it does, I just create a new account. I get it will be hard to reinvest into this account, but I will do it. That being said, I don't see this as an issue at all.

Well, I can see where OP is coming from.
Lots of people come to SL to forget RL. When your account age is old enough to vote it does inevitably bring RL back into SL when people point that out. Just because SL does something doesn't mean it should.
What harm does it honestly do SecondLife, to let residents choose what they want to share?
There is no harm really, but this is absolutely trivial, like the age in SL is not even similar to our actual age. The SL birthday thing, is just showing how long you have been in SL. I feel like people are so focused on something, that is a non-issue.

Their point is being able to hide their age they joined SL. I mean if I want to have a younger avatar, I would just start fresh.

Okay let me get this straight, your post is about hiding age. But instead you make a post about your weird encounters in SL, especially with senra avatars. But why is age so important to you, to me this is a non problem. And clearly people gave you ways to fix it, but you won't accept it. You want LL to give us the ability to hide our age. That is really a non problem and you may need to leave SL if it truly bugs you.

That is just too much work. Lol

When you say you don't like something and people automatically think you're anti that. No, I just don't like it. Doesn't mean I am against it. Lol

Peeve: me in January
Starting on Sunday, it’s the year of the Rabbit! We are in the last few days of the year of the Tiger – it's been a time of fighting, tension and war 🥺 But the year of the Rabbit means recovery and calm, and also financial prosperity 🤑
Most wrong prediction ever
Apparently in Native American mythology, the rabbit is a trickster? That's how 2023 has felt to me...one cruel practical joke!
I know someone wrote about how they hated this year too on this thread (sorry, can't remember who)...it's still going on, even today...just a load of hassle!
But if this year was good for you...ignore me, and well done
Well then it's proven, the Rabbit is Loki. Lol

Somethings such as woolen coats don't need shine. As some clothing being no-mod, not being able to fix this is a major peeve
Yeah most cloth material such as wool polyester and other stuff like that, don't need materials or pbr shine. It just makes it look like its very stiff, and like someone doused the item with spray starch. Lol

No one has to watch what other people are doing, look away, or derender them.
I wasn't meaning that, but here is another example. There was this club I loved in SL for it's music and the people were friendly, I had this one person constantly making advances and I would say no. They would keep on trying, fine and all. I blocked them. This was an adult club, where that stuff happened. The point is, that even if I go there. I don't just say yes, once I enter the door. The whole if you go to an adult region or even club, doesn't take your right away to say no. That was my point.

Your consent is implied if you choose to live on adult land. Don't want to see it, don't rent there. It doesn't have to be that difficult. If they did create an adult Belli why in the world would they need any mechanism for those to avoid it?
I would honestly have to disagree with you on that one. It's kinda like the whole X dilemma, where people don't put on filters and have NSFW content just flying out there. That being said, I don't think consent is implied at all. Some people live in these communities as there is more freedom than say a PG community when it comes to language and stuff. I used to live on one, then was banned for well stupid reasons. But I went there, as it allowed me more freedom in the way of what I RPed, not sexual. But it gave me more leeway to be more creative. I still didn't participate in the sexual activity or even watched it. I avoided it like the plague. So this is where I disagree, people come to adul regions for a whole slew of reason, not only for the sexual freedom. So in conclusion, I don't think consent is implied or basically you consent by just going there. I think people do still need to be considerate of others, even in adult regions.

I don't think I'm "correcting" you in what I say below, because I don't think you require "correction." I'm just using your post as a sort of jumping-off point, so please don't be offended or assume I'm criticizing you!
There is absolutely nothing shameful about sex -- in RL or in SL. It's a vital part of who we are.
But it is a vital part of who we are: we are defined by so much else as well. If we met someone in RL who was almost solely preoccupied with sexuality, who defined themselves singularly by sexual desire and the pursuit of its fulfillment, we'd probably think (likely correctly) that that person suffered from some form of pathology.
If we met someone in RL whose sense of others was constrained almost exclusively by their evaluation of their sexuality, or sexual desirability, we'd likely also have problems with that. "So and so has a great body!" as the sole determinant of a person's value and being? Yeah, no.
Our sexuality is a vital component of the incredibly complex matrix of all the many things, nature and nurture, wilful and unwilling, that make us all individuals.
And SL reflects that fact wonderfully: it's an incredibly diverse world that enables a nearly endless array of possible activities and identities.
The problem with narrowing that openness, and defining SL exclusively, or even primarily, as a place for sex and hookups, is that it narrows us as well. If you are an active participant on a platform that is mostly about sex, then you have de facto defined, and limited, yourself as a sexual being, to the exclusion of the many other things that you are or can be.
So, I have zero problems, personally, with throwing some light on sexuality in SL. The danger arises when or if that comes to be seen as the defining characteristic of the platform. As it is, SL already possesses something of a reputation in that regard.
And that's why this needs to be done, if it is to be done, with care and thoughtfulness. Because changing the identity and nature of the platform also, perforce, changes the identity of everyone active on it.
I actually agree with this, especially when a lot of people make sex and sexuality their sole personality.

Are we ever gonna be able to hide account age?
in General Discussion Forum
Posted
Account age means when you signed up and how long you have been in SL. Whereas, actual age, means how long you lived in this world. Where is the correlation there bud? I am just not seeing it. And no one is saying you aren't doing that, projecting much? What we are trying to say, is that it is trivial to hide SL age as it's not your actual age.
