Yeah, but if someone were playing a child avatar they might want to take a bath - or not take a bath, and then run naked around the house. It seems to me that forcing clothing or modesty layers onto all the child avatars is really infringing on their roleplay options, when the vast majority of them are behaving innocently.

What? You mean going inworld is more stressful than being on the forums?

They found work-arounds though.

How is that going to work with a system body?

What if a top is sold as a "bralette". I see these marketed to adult avatars all the time, to be worn as tops.

Maybe some naughty boy pulled the fire alarm when other kids were in the locker room of the junior high?

It was not unusual for my young nephew to run naked through the house when he didn't want to take his bath yet. I'd be ok with just the genital area being covered, blurred out, or alphaed out. Let's please not assume a child's chest is sexual area.

Avatars are not and will never be required to use mesh bodies. People made child avatars before there were mesh bodies. They can still do so, even though doing so looks pretty crappy. This is why modesty is defined by the Skin, and not by the body.

I'm not wearing applier skins - on an adult or a child avatar.

People could use a modesty skin from one of the old starter avatars.

I can see I'm gonna be on this thread all day long. Good thing I have something to do while I've been waiting 6 hours for a meeting in RL.

Maybe not if she's playing in her yard in the summer.

It's called a training bra, but it's really just a crop top. I had the beginning of breasts when I was 12. I had padded tops on my slips and wore training bras. Just as some people look younger than their age, some also start to develop earlier.

Eject and Ban should be sufficient. Why give more work to Goverance if the avatars weren't actually doing anything bad?

I don't see anything wrong with these pictures. What is the problem you see here?

Personally, that looks to me like a teen trying to dress more adult.

If one is wearing BOM underwear, it will not show when those body parts are alphaed out - whether with an alpha later or a HUD. As long as genitalia is not visible - even under mesh clothing - I don't see how a child or child-like avatar could be problematic. My avatars do not normally represent as children or teens, but I don't think people who do should have to buy all new skins. I remember how annoying that modest skin was on my Girl Next Door starter avatar. You can't even wear a bikini or a plunging neckline without the underwear showing.

I like modifiable furniture too, but remember that people can modify it to add Adult animations too.

The name Lolita comes from a novel in which and older man is attracted to and possibly "seduced" by a 12 year old girl. (The girl looks a little older in the movie version, but she's still a minor.) The cute, child-like clothing style represents an adult emulating a child, so it's bound to be confusing if the avatar looks too young.

I agree. Wearing BOM underwear or alpha layers should be sufficient. If when mesh hasn't rendered or is derendered, the avatar's genitalia not visible, that should be sufficient. I also don't think babies and young children should have to have their nipples covered. That's just silly. Toddlers of either gender will routinely run around in just their diapers, especially at a pool or beach.

More land for sale on Zindra would be a good thing for those who want to move there.

It's not unusual for mixed-use or roleplay sims. There might be a community region that's Moderate, but a residential region that's Adult, so tenants could feel safer with their Adult furniture. The roleplay sim I was in had the public baths and bordello on Adult regions, but most of the city and harbor was Moderate.

LL might have to clarify that representing sexual activity with a child is a ban-able offense even if the child is not an avatar.

Private islands can change their rating, ad far as I know. I was in a roleplay sim that changed the maturity ratings on some of the regions several times back and forth.

This is one point where I expect many child avatar users will not be compliant. Avatars on the teen grid were supposed to have no genitalia or female nipples on their skin. They couldn't even remove their underwear layer. People created underwear layers that did show nipples and genitalia however. People sold mature skins to teens on the teen grid too. There is not going to be any way to stop child avatars from wearing adult or illegal child skins. All that can be done is for people to report them if they see them. The rest of the new rules, I fully support.
