    Clarification on Minors in Second Life

    I am posting this looking for help with this issue. I have recently filed a report on a known minor engaging in sex acts and other adult activities, including visiting adult sims and falsifying their age. I am unsure after reading through the TOS what the exact policy on a minor (under the age of 18) using the Service actually is. So I'd like some clarification on what minors are and aren't allowed to do, and cited sources if possible so I may re-read portions of the TOS. Thanks for the help guys!

    As I understand it (and I suspect a Linden will be about to clarify)...

    Second Life doesn't allow Residents below age 13

    Residents of age 13-15 have been allowed on General-rated educational-based regions when vouched for by the educational entity in question, and can only be on those regions. I have heard that this has changed and is no longer offered, but again, clarification.

    Residents aged 16-17 are only allowed on General-Rated regions (and, naturally, limited to general-rated content).

    Further, sexual content is not allowed for minors (see above re: general rated) nor is not allowed for avatars designed to look like minors. 

    Violations of the above can be reported under Help > Report Abuse using the appropriate categories)

    Mari got a mesh head!

    Morning everyone...

    Hahaha. It's a stunning likeness, too!

    FWIW, I have been asking around about them and trying to decide which will work best for me, but am not ready to make that jump. I do love my bento hands, tho.

    I remember you saying your avatar was going to stay at a certain age and stop "growing". Is this still the case?

    Yup! When I first "grew down" in SL, I started aging up slowly. But I've stuck at 8 1/2 RP age for about three or so years now. :-)

    I haven't changed my look since ... last Monday?  But it was a busy week and I was only online like twice.

    I tend to update my look, but it's incremental. Kinda like the old joke about George Washington's Axe. 

    Here's me in 2006. Rocking that system skin. There weren't really any kid skins available then, and others had pretty heavy, obvious adult shading on them. Most everything I wore then was system, aside from hair, glasses, shoes, and the occasional flexi skirt.

    Then here's around 2011 or so. Pretty much my "classic" look. Same glasses as the previous shot: I bought those on day 1 and only retired them last year or so. I also wore the heck out of that hair. Was practically a trademark. Still mostly system and prim attire, though I did get into sculpts outfits pretty quickly.

    And today. Still the same ol skin, shape, and eyes, but with newer hair, mesh clothing, mesh hands, and new mesh glasses modeled based on my old ones a bit.32055889776_0096d66600_o (1).png

    @Marianne McGann - Of course it's the exact same thing, the only difference is that you were able to rescue your folder. You likely did NOT put it in trash. I didn't see my folder despite looking carefully, but as Whirly pointed out, maybe I was only looking on "Recent" -- I actually don't think so, because right before noticing the inventory drop and the missing folder, I searched for something I couldn't find, and then the name of the folder and couldn't find that, so I was likely in regular view, not "recent". 

    Ya, I count myself lucky. Nevertheless, it did end up there, and it is highly suspect (to me) that it did end up there, much like your lost folder.

    I really don't believe a Linden did this to you deliberately.
    The unlisting &/or accidental deletion or moving (Which causes unlisting) of no copy items in the marketplace listings folder appears to be a bug.
    There are a few cases of it on the JIRA, for example: BUG-41686 - All of my NO COPY marketplace items are gone.

    The most important thing for all these odd inventory issues is for us all to try and find the exact steps to be able to reproduce the problems.  That's the hard part.  Once there is a solid repro found, the Lindens can fix it.

    ...and that's going to be a toughie. I know I could not tell you the steps in my case to repro, and could not say with 100% certainty that it wasn't user error - though I have my doubts that it was. Doubly so knowing that Prokofy faced a similar issue. I do feel that this is something that needs to be looked at, regardless. I just wish I had a better "this step here."

    I definitely, definitely did not pull a folder into trash. Pulling a folder out of my inventory line-up into trash is NEVER anything I did. The only folders I delete are from the bottom, the "received items" after I've removed their contents. But I did not delete a folder out of the regular line-up.

    ~2 weeks ago, I was decorating a set and pulled out an item that, while gacha, I had exchanged for transfer permissions. I thought it odd that it left the folder as if it was no copy, but assumed that maybe it was an issue with a script or other item inside the mesh was no copy, and shrugged it off. I then checked its rezzed perms, to find it was indeed, all no transfer as expected.

    Checking my inventory I discovered that a folder called "THE ARCADE GACHA EVENTS" was sitting in my trash. This particular folder includes tens of thousands of items, collected since the initial September 2012 run of the event. I would absolutely not drag that folder to the trash, and while I acknowledge that sometimes things get dragged off in odd ways, it seemed rather unlikely. I did immediately pull and preserve the folder, but I now find myself wondering if my experience, and Prokofy's, are in some way related.

    I think the question I dislike the most is "What do you know about Macs?"  It is not the question itself.  Go ahead and ask.  The answer is "virtually nothing."  However it does not matter what I answer because this will be followed up by a description of their problem.

    I am a Mac user, and get the opposite. I get "You know a lot about computers, right? Why does my Windows 10 keep doing this thing?"

    Also, the SL version, "Why does Firestorm do this?" (I use the official client)

    And now, more thrilling adventures in Random Asked Questions.:
    Today's question is brought to you by the fine people at Mega-Low Mart. 

    And the question is: What do you wish people would stop asking you?

    I wish they'd stop asking me, "What do you wish people would stop asking you?" ;-)

    Naw, teasing. I can't think of a good answer, though. I really don't mind many questions. I guess the only ones I don't are the ones where someone could have very quickly answered it themselves with 5 seconds and google.

    I don't know about where you are but in the Northeast it was a weird winter. Warmer than normal for most of it which probably didn't help matters. I saw trees and flowers popping up well before they should normally.  

     

    I'm in California, and this was our wettest on record - and after years of drought.

    should we be able to use emojis in IM and local chat in Second Life?

    one thing that would be nice is to trigger certain expressions (bento - hands and heads) with local chat, like gestures, but animating the avi to do the emoting. That reminds me, I may have to keep my "YAY" gesture activated. It makes Ellie do the same thing I do in RL when I say "Yay". I don't like having to keep a HUD up and remember to click a certain emotion while trying to type at the same time. Plus, my viewer tends to get littered with HUDs.

    This would be possible with bento-enabled hands and head + animation files that take advantage of same. These could be easily triggered using a gesture. Perhaps as more and more have and use bento, we'll see more things just like this.

    Speaking of threads to ignore and let die, what happened to the ones we had? I see one got locked, but the other, newer one seems to have disappeared completely. Doesn't exactly send good vibes about this new community if it got axed.

    It got moved to Make Friends. Go look here:
