Sadly.... I know that this is the internet and just about anyone and any age can visit adult websites and content. I know there is no 100% safe proof way BUT I did feel a whole lot better back when SL required our ID information to be submitting and made it a tad harder to get verified. Yes... a kid could just use their parents info. But this would make some think twice about it. But this new way of verifying is just a straight up joke to me.

Hi All... So I discovered something rather scary the other night that I never really noticed before. I have been on SL for close to 2 years now. I am an adult. My Husband finally decided to sign up for SL and I helped him create his new account the other night. Once he was logged in I told him that he would need to do the Age Verification process in order to see and visit adult content in-world. I have done the age verification myself a few times already for my main avi and my alts. But that was a while ago. Anyway... long story short. When he went to the Age Verification page it said he was already Verified even though he never did anything. We never put anything other then the original info used to create the account which was his name, date of birth, email address. So my concern is this.... how on earth is that considered "age verification" if all they are doing is going by the year of birth people put down. Anyone under age can put a false year of birth down and get age verified?!!!!!! This is rather disturbing to me as I would hate to think of all the young kids viewing adult content on here OR all the adults talking to other avi's thinking they are adults as well. I think SL needs to do a better job at the verification process... Did they change this? I could have sworn that back when I did mine I had to enter my Driver's License info or credit card info to get age verified....

I am having the same issue since yesterday. I keep getting a red error message. I even tried 2 payment methods and still same error message. It has happened to me several times in the past. I purchase lindens every week. Sometimes it works smoothly with no problem and then sometimes It goes 2 or 3 days with same error message which can be a pain especially when I have 2 land rents I need to pay and horses to feed. Thank goodness I paid this month in advance or I would be homeless by now. I am a premium member and already tried calling billing support twice today and keep getting machine message saying that no agents are available and to call back in 30 minutes. :matte-motes-crying: Hope our issues get resolved soon.
