    Name Question on G-Rated Sim

    @xthottyhoex, I understand your frustration. It might seem that you should be forgiven the "youthful indiscretion" of picking a name that some find offensive. After all, we pick our names before we've experienced what SL is like...but as the others have said, that's up to the land owner.

    We had a similar situation a few years back at Caledon Oxbridge University. An avatar with the name "NatashaFetishQueen" wanted to join the staff of our definitely G-rated organization. There were indeed some people who felt that her name would be a problem, but Tasha has been a wonderful asset to the COU faculty. I'm glad that the more tolerant opinions prevailed!

    There is one thing you could try...add a Display Name that's more G-rated.

    While people will still be able to see your registered user name if they choose, and may still choose to ban you because of it, it would at least show a desire on your part to conform to a more family-friendly standard. Come to think of it, that's exactly what Tasha did.

    Ah perfect, thank you for understanding the situation and oh great I didn't know that was an option but will definitely try it out!

    Or the user could implement common sense when choosing a name.  xthottyhoex is neither general nor appropriate unless you're in a brothel.

    Literally this is the only time I've seen concern with my user. It's PG13 at most. If LindenLabs already allowed my name I see no reason why it would cause hinderance. Unless i'm actively spouting swears I see no reason why my avatar wouldn't be allowed on all General rated sims. It's my gamer girlie name and if I choose for it to be that I should be free too. It's not like I'm swearing. In general, I would just kind of like to see more consistency.

    One might argue that going to a sim and violating the rules of conduct and then complaining about it on the board is quite rude. 

    It seems quite weird to employ arbitrary rules onto users considering there really is no set guideline for this. Sorry I don't want to go to "black fetish club #24" all the time. If my character is dressed appropriately there should be no problem. At the most it would be sensible to implement some type of censor onto these sims then if they want to keep this thinly defined idea of "general" and "appropriate". Nonetheless, quite enjoying my time in SL.

    The owner of the sim can make any rules that don't violate LL's TOS. If your name and avatar are too sexual for a G rated sim's host, they are free to block you. 

    Your grievances are about two different subjects that are not related. 

    I would say they actually are quite related. Hoping to see a cultural shift soon of the older players as they are quite rude.

    So I'm a bit confused about the rules for G-rated sims. SL is still an 18+ game regardless since LL decided to abandon their teen server years ago. I'm still a bit confused about how these rules are being handled as I essentially got kicked out of a G-rated club because of my avatar's name. Seems kind of weird for the same game that has dozens of racist roleplay clubs :/
