AFAIK, there are no rules governing speech in world. You could of course submit a documented support case and find out the answer to your question. My personal guess is that unless it's part of a continued pattern of harassment, there's no violation, but who knows?

Per forum guidelines: No Vulgarity, Profanity, and Sexually Explicit Content: Name calling, using profanity/expletives, or any language that is offensive, violent, pornographic, sexually explicit, or containing hate speech will not be tolerated on the Second Life Forums. No Vulgarity, Profanity, and Sexually Explicit Content: Name calling, using profanity/expletives, or any language that is offensive, violent, pornographic, sexually explicit, or containing hate speech will not be tolerated on the Second Life Forums. In general... "All content posted on the Second Life Forums must be rated “General” per our Maturity Ratings. Keep in mind, this does not include content posted specifically in the “Adult Content Forum” section." BTW, I don't see any such recent conversation in the scripting forum or the creation section of Answers..... 😒

Those objects are not linked. In your inventory, they are a coalesced object (several unrelated objects in a single package). Now that you have rezzed the object on the ground, the individual parts are all separate objects. Yo can pick them up or rearrange them any way you like. And, of course, take them back to inventory individually.

Could be. Either way, nothing is going to be "resolved" in this thread, no matter how long it gets. We don't do the resolving. Unless there's a reason to draw a strict, hard line, Linden Lab will always leave some room for interpretation precisely because rational people can see that most important definitions have fuzzy zones around them. Cases outside the fuzzy zone are easy. Ones inside are tough. A property line or a L$ balance in your account can be defined with a hard line. The apparent age of your avatar can't be. That's what people have been arguing about here for 100+ pages. As soon as LL tries to draw a hard line, people will do exactly the sort of "But..but. ..but ...but ..." complaining that we are doing here because we can all think of really good reasons why the hard line is stupid. The safe way to do it is to say, "Use your good judgement. If you think an avatar looks too young, submit an AR and put the "resolution" in our lap." That's the way standards are defined for fuzzy things in RL, by case law. Ultimately the courts hear enough cases to say where the boundaries of the fuzzy zone are, and they rule on cases in the fuzzy zone -- the special cases -- individually.

Well, the 100 pages have been conversations among people in this thread, who can't "resolve" anything. We'll have to wait for LL to do any resolving. Maybe Monday they'll wade through this monster thread and either post responses or add clarifications in the FAQ. Otherwise, don't expect things to be resolved until at least the May 20 session .

That question has been raised, debated, and argued about since the thread began. It's really the only basic question that most people seem to agree LL needs to clarify. If we knew the answer, residents with child avatars would know whether they need to replace much of their inventory or could simply meet the requirements with an ungraded skin of some sort. I'm pretty sure LL will pay attention to that concern.

Whew! Two hours of reading and I have finally caught up to where this thread was before I went to bed last night. I'd stop reading, but every once in a while someone says something new and thoughtful. It looks to me as if the same 15-20 people are arguing the same points in circles and losing patience with each other. Given the length of the thread and its rate of growth, it's no wonder that people have given up on scrolling back to see what was typed more than an hour ago. Sadly, the thread is turning into the sort of conversation I used to have with my mother when she was well into dementia ("Yes, mom, we just talked about that, remember?") I say "sadly" because I doubt that anyone in Governance is going to have time on Monday morning to wade through the thread and find the handful of good, genuine questions that a few people have raised.

Knowing Scylla, I detected what I suspect was sarcasm in her post.

It would take a lot more than being told I look underage to ruin my day. Like being hit by a bus, or having a fire in my kitchen. I've had more than enough really ruined days. I might get miffed about how someone in SL decides I look, but ruin my day? Nah. If someone decides my SL avatar looks too young to be in their region, I'll just go somewhere else, or log out and take a walk.

Scripting is just an exercise in logic. If you can describe your project clearly enough, you can write a script that follows your logic. Writing is the end of the exercise, not the start. So, yes, what you describe is very possible and it's a good beginner's scripting problem. It's unlikely that you'll find something this simple in Marketplace, so you might as well try it yourself. >>>> https://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Getting_started_with_LSL The easy way (but not the only way) is to write two scripts (one in A and one in B) that talk to each other. Only let the user click B if she's already clicked A and A has told B it's OK.

Where in heaven's name are people doing this? I have never ever seen it happen anywhere, in 17+ years. In fact, I see exactly the opposite. A Linden shows up and people start saying, "Oooo! Lookit! A blue dot! Let's go see!". I have never seen a region clear out when a Linden popped in.

Where I live in RL -- and in most places, actually -- it is illegal to drive a car with a burned out headlight. It's not a serious felony, but you have to pay a fine if the police issue you a ticket for breaking the law. So, I had a burned out headlight last month. I didn't know it for a couple of weeks because I haven't been going anywhere after dark. Then I was too lazy to get it replaced for another week. If I had been stopped for some other reason and a policeman had discovered my dead headlight, I would have been in trouble. BUT ... 1. I wasn't stopped 2. No policeman was going to know about my headlight without deliberately stopping me or going to a lot of trouble. 3. Policemen have much more serious crimes to worry about. 4. There aren't enough policemen to go around looking for lawbreakers like me. Being as rational as I can be about the updated policy, I suspect that the same will be true here in SL. The only time you are likely to be in trouble for running around without a baked-on modesty layer on your child avatar is when you are doing something much more obviously wrong like being in an adult area or playing whoopie on a sex bed. Governance doesn't have the time or manpower or the inclination to go peeking up your avatar's skirt to see whether she's wearing painted underwear. As with most laws, the idea is to convince as many people as possible to keep child avatars out of situations where really bad things might happen. It's NOT to catch as many people as possible for having non-regulation panties. And no, I wasn't ticketed for my headlight, and yes, I did have it replaced. It was the right thing to do.

Darn. Clem got there first.... Baskets insides taste especially scrumptious. CHOMP

Class warfare

Hello, you perfect exciting diversion! SMILE

I'm pretty sure that most comments in this forum aren't meant specifically for me, but I often read a post and think "Well, someone could say that about me". One benefit of being on the fringes of a conversation instead of bang in the middle is that you can accept some compliments vicariously. A compliment was probably meant for someone else, but it might be meant for you, so you can bask in some of the glow. You can learn from some non-specific criticisms too, seeing how similar things that you done could be taken the wrong way by others. This is by way of saying that I think forums can serve like sports arenas. A few people get into the rough and tumble. They take the rough blows and broken noses, and the cheers and recognition. The rest of us jump up and down and we occasionally yell something, but mostly we are there for the spectacle and to share some of the glory and the elbows that the real combatants are getting. So, yeah, even if a specific comment wasn't meant for you, it IS for you in a way, because you chose to be in the crowd.

I'll have to admit to feeling oddly attracted to a good pile-on. It's like watching a train wreck or scouring the news for clips about idiots who are trying hard to win the Darwin Award. Some people do honestly seem to deserve a healthy comeuppance, so it's weirdly satisfying to see them get it. For me, though, it's a spectator sport. I get my dopamine rush -- somebody else used the term here last week -- sitting in the stands rather than getting my nose bloody on the field. My sister thinks I'm a chicken. I think I just don't need much dopamine to get a pleasant buzz. Besides, I really don't like blood, even when the idiot at the bottom of the pile is due for a thumping.

Remember, with a Linden Home you have two ways to keep people out. The house has its own access list that you can always add people to. It's in your home's control panel by the front door. There's also a separate security system that is in your mailbox, out front. It's free, and it conforms to the covenant restrictions in Bellisseria, so you don't have to worry about whether you have accidentally made it too aggressive or reaching beyond the allowed limits. You can use that system to keep people from entering your parcel, not just your house.
