How long before LL employs bounty hunters? interact with a young looking avatar, get them to clearly admit their young age and intentions, then AR them for a cool Grand. No one would know for sure if the person they are engaging with is one or not.

It would really put a chill on all such banned activity.

Am I missing something. Where does it say Child Avatars are able to engage in combat?

lol so now if the avi looks under 18, they can’t carry guns?

If its not forbidden, its allowed 😂

I have read over the TOS a few times since joining SL, especially regarding underage individuals, and still not clear on, if there are any policies in place, child and underage looking avatars being allowed on adult sims.

I have noticed over the last few months, more and more of these child like/underage looking(See attached)avatars have been gathering on adult sims, especially Escort sims. Eventhough their profile says, they are over 18, personally, I think it is disgusting that someone claiming to be an adult, makes themselves to look underage. it's just my opinion.

I do hope that someday this type of thing will be banned.

I'm open to any thoughts.

first one, id say defo young teen, second one… who knows?

Here is how we said this would go right from the start.

OPEN SEASON - REPORT EVERYONE - PANIC

Paranoia is spreading, height detectors are everywhere, short women, boobs, no one feels safe so lets report everyone.

We did this, remember .. back in 2007. Will child avatars be allowed at SLB this year? Who knows. Who here even remembers the SLB that they weren't..

The community has been turned on itself, because of a hit piece, AGAIN.

one definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over, but expecting a different result 😂

FYI, we have new TOS rules that clearly forbid child avatars being on Adult sims or engaging in sexual behavior - such as sexual solicitation. Is this thread just trolling the forum regulars? People in SL can't play innocent about sexual ag* play anymore. LL can't afford to just look the other way about this stuff anymore.

and yet the new rules do NOTHING to stop it. Maybe they want child avis to be so disgusted with the whole mess that they give up and quit.

Who’s next? anime or furries?

But have you considered minding your business? Their profiles say they're above the age of majority. Nothing in them, I assume, indicates any nefarious attempt to play younger.

lol, its ok, im an adult nothing to see here….. even though they look way younger than adult 😁

So what should one expect to pay for a quarter sim?

are you buying from LL or renting from a land baron?

If buying, find a nice abandoned parcel and ask LL to sell it you, it will cost you $1 L per sqm, then your tier at the 1/4 sim rate

I’m 5 ft 5, the shortest i could go using total avatar height, im sure one could go shorter buy shrinking individual components. Suppose one does want to *****, they meet a willing partner in their adult height, then they go off someplace she swaps shapes…. voila an early teen, they are done the adult shape goes back. the whole event is undetectable.

Oh by the way, i have all my old shapes, just by swapping shapes I could be 6 ft 2 again, same proportions as now, unquestionably an adult , instead of hmmm is she or isnt she 😂

They're stored on the servers for a while, certainly, as part of the simulator logs (I don't know for how long they are kept) but I don't think anyone is actually monitoring them. They're available if someone needs to read them, but I don't think there are thousands of Lindens sitting around reading everyone's IMs in real time.

I once got into an argument in local at a club with the DJ, on a forbidden topic. If anyone had sent the conversation to LL, I'd probably have been banned. They did save it and send it to my partner though, so I had a big blow up with her over it. 😁

I've been on this forum, and its predecessor, since 2008. I'm not particularly quiet here either.

I have never, in all that time, been hunted or harassed -- at least not beyond a very occasional IM. Anyone trying to destroy me apparently has singularly poor aim.

You're not maybe exaggerating a tad???

We're mostly pretty nice here actually. 🙂

i get tattled on for mean* posts, or being un pc, but outside of sl? naw.

*mean as in they dont appreciate my sence of humor

The only solution would be for LL to hire a bunch of agents and park them at those places, then have them try and engage people in AP. As messed up as that would be, I feel like that is literally the only way to stop this behavior.

these are advertised clubs, they arent secret. just search lolita in the inworld search 😁

It's actually something I should have done long ago.. It's not safe to post on your account here or other places, as people who disagree WILL cause you problems, aim to destroy you, and even haunt you from platform to platform - all over simple disagreements, ideological differences or some perceived slight. Something to consider if you want to continue on these forums.

It’s all good, I’m cool. I did trash a guy from sl on my blog last week gawd was he pissed 😂

As Rowan says, this is standard procedure for teen-oriented a*eplay. There are some pretty popular places swarming with "teen" girls doing this in fact.

And it has nothing to do with petite add-ons. Some of then are wearing Reborn or even Kupra.

I’ve been to placed like that, they are quite disgraceful….. 13 yr olds pole dancing and escorting

😬

by the way, the new TOS doesn’t address the problem, and does nothing to solve it either 😁

It is most unfortunate, but if the creators of adult bodies aren't on board, people who engage in activities which are against the TOS will simply change their profile to say they are 18, make their shape a little taller, and switch to wearing a petite adult avatar to appear "barely legal". And since the skin they would be wearing would be made for adults and thus revealing, it would defeat the whole purpose of what the new TOS is trying to accomplish, which is making it more difficult for people to engage in AP.

If you look on the Marketplace for clothing that is made for petite addons, you will see images of avatars that appear to be underage wearing the most revealing clothing (some are even listed under childrens apparel). Which is why I believe that this scenario would only serve to exacerbate the very issue that LL is trying to solve with the new TOS.

I am not against such addons and fully support their use by individuals who don't engage in unlawful behavior in SL, but I fear that there is a greater likelihood of them being used for illegal purposes if compliant skins are not created for adult mesh bodies.

in the end there is only one solution, modesty panels for everyone.

I hope they make them in extra large for the eight foot giants 😂

But you're not claiming to be an adult either doing adult things. If I were doing adult things, and even though I'm quite fond of my avatar, if someone at LL said I was too short to be considered adult, I'd just change if I wanted to stay. It's their circus.

for them to say I am too short, they would have to state a minimum height to be considered adult, but they wont because they thrive on ambiguity and uncertainty.

Then all the teen avis could go to 1 inch higher, and say, see im an adult, you said so 😂

Why can't you make yourself taller? You really cannot claim it is because you want "realistic" proportions, so that only leaves someone to wonder why being short is so important to you.

Though it does give you something to be a drama queen/attention whore about.

why should I change? I like being 5 ft 4.

attention whore…. lol… love me or hate me, just don’t ignore me 😂

No, probably not but then again there are some highly motivated and angry individuals involved and as we heard in the meeting yesterday, it now involves Furries too. The included minorities is growing bigger and bigger.

and dont forget the short adults that might look like teenagers to some people 😂

Yeah, but this isn't simply about a company imposing policies on customers - for lets say - not rewinding their Video Cassettes (I am that old ).

It seems a bit bigger, it has implications for identity and freedom of expression across this new thing which some (admittedly not you) are calling the Metaverse.

So Martin Niemöller's piece felt relevant, touching as it does on themes of apathy and personal responsibility.

Believe it or not, platforms like Second Life are examples of how a new Social Contract might look in the future, and how policies like that being implemented by Linden Lab should be scrutinized from all side.

There you go, so I think what I've said so far in this thread is relevant and timely. I might be wrong though

I hope you don’t think the internet is place for freedom and individuality, that dream died a while back.

Now its all about conformity and control.

LL is just trying to catch up 😂

No this one is easy height alone means nothing. You could be a super tiny full grown man or woman if you want.

Not you @BilliJo Aldrin but I think a lot of people seem to think that private land owners have to follow the same thought process as the Lindens. People are gonna ban you for being short on private or privately owned open to the public land if they want and it's their bought and paid for right.

Even though it's not exactly on this topic I was watching the video of that meeting and some guy was going off that he was kicked from somewhere because he had child avatar in his profile but had shown up as a stick man. Yeah and? Next please! The same thing does apply here... you might have more pushback from the community over being short but more than likely it will be same as it ever was. I think for years now there has been a downscaling in size going on and "short" is more acceptable.

I do think a lot of people base their short perception on the most popular mesh bodies shrunk all the way down. That's what I've done on all of my bodies... Belleza Freya, Legacy, Belleza Gen X, and now Reborn. I think Maitreya has a similar base height too.. I have it on another avatar but havent worn it in years. I do add a little height with pulling and pushing some body parts .. and heels or perma barbie feet but that's all. Never a bit of problem about my height.

I made my maitreya as short as possible while still keeping proper proportions.

I have zero problem with being banned from any venue, in fact i dont give them the chance. As soon as i get a message from either a person, or some avatar scanner, saying my look is unacceptable for whatever reason, I leave. I never argue, unless i’m in the mood to argue, but i’m not trying to change their minds.

Yes, the realistic height trend is defo growing

Ok, well totally different shape then the one with the dress. The dress showed that you had hips. This one shows no such thing. So, putting together the face, shape and your height....I'd be worried if I was in an adult venue.

when I get home I’ll post that pic in that thread asking if the pic is adult or underage, see what all the forum worthies think 😂
