    So what changed in the Terms of Service?

    Height wasn't an issue before anything, they shouldn't be able to report you for being 5'2" They shouldn't be able to ban you, before, for even being 5'0" As long as you are adult, you should be fine.

    I mean... it can play a factor in situation where you're on a sim with a bunch of people that are all extremely tall. Then, by comparison, you might LOOK more young than you intended just by contrast. This has happened to me several times. I'm in the 'use the built in shape height' camp, so my avatars are almost always shorter that other people. I do use a fairly youthful face, but not something I personally would deem child-like or teen. It's the Lelutka Avalon head with a Heaux skin. I also use a proportion tool for my avatar and model her roughly to 7 heads in proportion. I use Legacy Perky, no deformers, but my shape is what I would deem as skinny. Breast slider is at like... 35 or 40 I think.

    All of this makes for, what I would call a "young adult" or perhaps, depending on the clothing I'm wearing late teen (18, 19). Suddenly though, if I'm on a sim of giants, I look like a kid standing next to them.

    *sigh*

    As someone who's admin for a few adults sims in the past, this is a policy update clarification that was strongly needed. There are people who push the line of what is and isn't allowed forcing staff on sims to be the bad guys when they really don't want to be.

    However I already see the loopholes in this clarification page: https://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Linden_Lab_Official:Clarification_of_policy_disallowing_ageplay

    It's the particular phrasing of certain parts where the policy says "child avas" instead of minors.

    The main issue I faced in the adult sims I worked for was people showing up in teenage avatars, not child ones. When talking to these people they thought they were fine because weren't child avas and therefore should be allowed on the sim. You can imagine how telling someone to change their ava to be allowed on the sim can cause a lot of strife and arguments.

    So I hope the governance team might see this and consider this in any future policy updates/clarifications.

     

    As I pointed out earlier, though, there is very little if no objective way to determine if an avatar is 17 vs 18. This is easily done in RL because you have a birthdate and a license and can be verified to be the age you claim - there is no such feature in SecondLife.

    Additionally, and people seem to forget this, an 18-year-old person looks EXCEPTIONALLY young by most standards. I had the opportunity to go back to college as an adult learned and I can tell you that a good portion of the 18-year-old freshman students definitely qualified as "teen." Keep in mind, too, that there are, depending on when one's birthday is, 18-year-old High School students. It is literally possible, at least in the United States, to legally get into the pron industry and still be a High School student.

    Trying, therefore, to make some kind of objective ruling about avatars that sit around that blurry line between adult and minor, is nearly impossible. I don't really know what the answer is.

    "Child-like facial features" is not an objective characteristic UNLESS you apply technical rigor to the anatomical structure. In this case there are differences between a child and an adult.

    There are a lot of people that claim their avatar is 18, which is a legal adult in most countries. How are you going to 'objectively' determine if the facial features of an 18-year-old vs. a 17-year-old?

    Same goes for clothing. I have, in my inventory, a sweatshirt with a teddy bear on the front. Is that childish clothing?

    None of these things alone are objective when it comes to determining a violation of a rule. When you start combining traits, however, then you start to get a little closer.

    Is the avatar child-sized, has child-like proportions, is roleplaying as a child, is using child-like speech, is dressed like a child (still not sure about this one), AND engaging in something they shouldn't be? If all the evidence lines up properly, then sure, I can see how that would be a violation.

    Simply being short, having a youthful face, and wearing a teddy-bear themed shirt is, I would argue, NOT enough to make a judgement.
