You have a really good point there and a legitimate reason for the advocating of A rated Bellisseria land.

No you don't. Use a security orb that just allows people in your group to access your land. No need to ban people individually.

What does that have to do with anything? Nudity is allowed in public on M rated land. End of story.

But if you have your settings set right that child avatar won't even see you in your front lawn.

Wrong.

Why? I'm allowed to do that. Unless the avi is ON my property then it won't affect them at all. I have my settings so you can't see or hear other avi's. Even if they cam in they won't see anything going on.

Yes

Better read and interpret that TOS again. Because that is incorrect.

Good luck with that. If I was a child and in a M rated region, no way would I go AFK. That's just stupid. If I was going to go AFK, I'd TP myself back to my G rated location or shut SL off.

Well, of course they are but LL won't use those solutions. LOL

Yes you are.

You are allowed to be nude in a M rated region. So, no the AR won't go far. It will go straight in the trash.

You could always go to opensim where this stuff is much easier to get away with.

I think people are forgetting that you don't have to worry about the person doing the AR. You need to worry about who is reviewing and taking action on the AR. Now, with that information, age your avatar as if you will pass it with LL not a random SL user. If you are not confident that LL will take the right action then nothing anyone can say will matter.

Someone merged the threads incorrectly.

I agree with this. That's why an AR is made and LL will make the determination. It's not up to us to decide if it's against the TOS or not. That the point of AR's.

I see this thread as a horrible idea but good luck.

Because people that see an avatar they think is a child in the wrong place are going to think...."hmm, let me go study body shapes and proportions before I submit an AR. I might as well just look up Kawaii and Anime while I'm at it" Unlikely to happen.

You have a doll head on your avatar that looks like a CHILD. I couldn't care less if you call it a "stylized" head. All I'm saying is that if you are ok with that being over 18 great! But some will see it as a child avatar. If you are confident that if you get AR'd you won't get banned then don't change it. I've already stated several times in this thread that unless I see a child avi on adult land or on a nude beach I will be ignoring it because I simply don't care enough to take the time to AR you. It's not me you have to worry about. Others will spend all their time in SL doing just that.

Thanks! That was the look I was going for.

A lot of people do though. What irks me the most are the Child Avi's that come into groups asking for support or questions about a product and sit there and STILL act like children. They say things like "I'm a kid, I don't understand" in that whining voice. They use child babble. Unless it's a RP group for children, then please act like the adult you are when asking for support help.

I think people see what they want to see. For instance, your avatar picture looks, to me, like you are 14.

To me...that looks like a 13 year old that talked her parents into getting her a breast enlargement. Where are earth would you think that represents anyone older than 21? Ya think maybe the site is taking into consideration the outfit, jewelry, etc you are wearing that in no way would any adult wear?

I finally figured out why I find your posts distasteful. There is NO reason for this post to be in this thread. It's simply posted for attention. It makes fun of the new rules and dismisses legitimate concerns. It's disrespectful and rude. I really do hope they come for the furry's next.

What they are preventing is the Child avatar from being able to turn it back on themselves. That's why Alphaing won't work. It must not be able to be removed. The thing with all this though is that what is to stop them from just putting on a non compliant body at any time. I am pretty sure ***play doesn't happen in the open and if it's two or three people doing it they are behind closed doors. Who would know but them and do you think they will be sending in AR reports on themselves? Unless they make a specific account for adults that can't purchase child avatar things and a specific Child Avatar account that can't purchase adult things then it's very simple to get around the rules while appearing to comply in public. I kind of see this as LL saying "welp, we did what we could to curtail the behavior. If they get caught not conforming then we have reason to ban" BUT the thing is that they never will be caught and nothing will change. It's just made it a lot of hassle for those that were already following the rules. Yes, there is something bigger happening here and we just don't know what it is....yet.
