I honestly don't think they are lookin to pull a Dwayne Johnson, Samuel L Jackson and aim for the bushes. hehehe So I think we're good..

I went around for the longest time with people thinking I was my husbands daughter.. We even got into it one time with a cashier, because she said I was too young to be with him.. Boy did I light her up quick. Heck I was older than she was.. I just didn't look it.. hehehe

The the thing is, Someone can make a report for that, but it still has to pass the litmus test that LL uses for it to stick.. That's based on much more than just looks. I couldn't imagine how many reports they get from those that just shoot from the hip but never land on target.. hehehe

I was just giving you a hard time.. I get playful like that a lot.. hehehe ETA: I mean giving people a hard time playful.. Not the playful that the rules are about.. LOL

Oh, that's even better. I think i actually had to click something before for it to take one at the time.. It was like 2007 maybe even 08 when I even used it, so I can't really remember too much about it now.. hehehe But ya, I like that it works like that.. If I ever make a report, I'm gonna have my sites already set beforehand.

Now why'd you have to make it seem like an America thing, when there are more stricter rules about this on the other side of the pond? We were having such a nice day too!! \o/ hehehe

I think there is a screenshot function that you can use while making a report.. I think those stick more than just taking a screenshot from the camera, because those could be sent to the desktop and then uploaded.. Where from the report function it's for sure a raw screenshot. It's been awhile since I used that function.. It may not even exist anymore or it may. I just know when I used it, it went right in as part of the report.

And the others that are going to spark up as well.. Mods are going to have a busy weekend I think..

Ya, I think it would be that even the bodies that can't change skins would need updated, since the mesh still needs to be skinned at some point I would think.

Ya, but to get that to fit into the description, it becomes more based on profile and admission and actions more than looks.. But features of a child like avatar are more about visual proportions than anything.. If you read the underage play rules and description you can see where they use that as part of defining an underage avatar. where visually it is more based on the proportions.

I don't think they are going to go and start deleting things from your inventory.. It's more than likely that they are going to be dependent on users taking actions with their own accounts and making the adjustments themselves to bring themselve within the rules. The only time I've really ever heard of them doing something with something in someones inventory ,was with animations because of a DMCA/Digital Millennium Copyright Act and replacing the animations with dud animations. That was years and years ago. There have been plenty of skin and mesh DMCA's since then and none of my inventory has been messed with.. Basically, you just need to have a skin with a modestly layer.. Hopefully creators give updates to their skins , as well as maybe spark other creators to see an opportunity to get some sales from creating skins for those avatars.. June is more than enough time for these things to come.. I'd be already looking as well.. Because some may already be jumping on that.. Some creators smell opportunity and try to get to it before the others can.. I do hope everything works out for the better in finding your items though..

I think the child avatars that they are addressing with these changes are before puberty child avatars and not avatars that look like they are under 18.. Child avatar is pretty much it's own genre in this world.

The sad thing is, it mostly controls the good apples and makes more bad apples and the ones already bad, just keep on keepin on..

I sure am glad I had three of them to burn that into my brain.. Although I will say, they sure came close to being adult sized when they came out.. My oldest was 2 ft long and 11 pounds.. I thought I was giving birth to a full grown man!! \o/ hehehe

Ya, they'll just dust off and fire up those height detectors they had back in the old days and put a timer on the boot or ban. If they ever even put them away.. hehehe Many aren't going to research it too hard or work at it too hard and just put up what they feel is the quickest and easiest way to deal with the changes that keeps them from trouble.. ETA: Oop's, sorry, for some reason I had land owners in my head rather the AR junkies.. hehehehe

Have a member berry and you'll member what they are. hehehe

Ya, that makes sense. The creator has to be creating for child avatars, I would think. I can't see us all having perma undies.. I'm sure some may also throw in a skin with baked in modesty layer to cover themselves just in case, even if they aren't creating for child avatars.. It'll be kind of interesting to see if that happens and how much if it does.. hehehe

You aren'ah kiddin sister. I had to throw out all my member berries because they were taking me too far back. Back to those pasty flat texture days of yesterdecades ago, where I was Sooo Hawt.. hehehe omg, I just realize I crossed two decade timelines since I'm been in here!!\o/ There must be some member berries I hid and forgot about. My squirrel senses are tingling. 0.0

Oh, you have to find that picture now!! \o/ hehehe

Back when they made the UnderAge play rule (<== we'll see if that gets word filtered or not hehehe) They put size in there rather than height.. It's just that a lot of people didn't read it and took it upon themselves to use height as one of the main factors, hence the height detectors showing up everywhere even before the maturity ratings came out. The mobs going after child avatars back when the maturity ratings was going on, was crazy bad.. A lot of creators in the Xstreet forums.. Well known ones at the time too, were even in on the fear of child avatars getting them in trouble. These forums it was really chaotic as well.. it was like inworld and forums were linked more than ever.. A terrible time for the community really in world and all the forums for it, not counting the blogs.. But ya, I'm pretty aware of how they have had it rough for a long time.. I was in a lot of the fights backing up the good rule following child avatars back then, because I'm not a fan at all of fear mongering and those spreading it getting more and more riled up.. I really hate when people do that. It gets me riled.. hehehe

To be honest, I actually have never heard about that court case before that I can remember. I never really seen it discussed in here before and I don't really go looking for news about second life outside of the forums. I just kind of keep everything about second life to the forums and in world and some youtube, as well and shopping things like Seraphim and MP.. But that's about as outside as I get after SLU shut down years ago. 2019 sounds about around the time the genus head was coming out with it's beta, which a lot of my SL at that time was hanging in that group and trying to create some sort of animation hud and hunting down animations that would work with the head, which took forever in a day, as well as helping others with troubleshooting their heads.. So that could be why as well.. 2018 I think I was still on a break from SL for what might have been a year maybe longer.. I can't remember really. I did recently get some information in world which I think was a blog article or something with images and what sounded like someone doing undercover work.. But after reading about half way, it felt very constructed.. Like someone making a thriller or detective story, so I stopped reading about half way.. it just felt too convenient and too well crafted, like they happened to be in the right place at the right time when all of a sudden something happened or someone popped in.. So I just put it down and went on with my second life because it felt more like propaganda half way through.. To me anyways.. I just figured, if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck it's a good chance it might be a duck.. I tried my best to open my eyes while reading it and not let any bias come into it, because it was important in my eyes to do that. I'm not trying to defend LL or anything like that and I'm not a child avatar hater at all, not of the ones that follow the rules anyways. I've stood up for them real hard back when the Maturity ratings were changed.. I think Freedom of expression is really important in this world and the real world especially. All I have been saying is in this thread is about what is happening in the moment with the changes, not what LL should do or could have done. If I remember right, didn't they say something about doing things in the future back when the CEO's blog post came out on the topic? Maybe this is just the first step in more steps.. All I know is this is where we are at now and nothing more.. hehehe

Ya, but they are still here and really never heard of anything happening to them from the past.. I guess covering their own butts has worked out so far.. hehehe

It doesn't and never will.. I don't know what Roblox is or what they do.. Rule changes aren't a prevention of anything, they are only a deterrent.. You're asking about prevention and I'm just talking about what happened.. LL isn't looking to break content for every bom using avatar out there.. They are just covering themselves more on the matter. The changes aren't about protecting other users or preventing someone from doing something..They are about where the blame is going to land.. like most all rules do. If someone is looking for prevention, you won't find it in rule changes.. Maybe changes caused from rule changes. It's rules, not a change in the system..

A lot of mine seemed to have really pixelated texture, So I pretty much got rid of most of my things, even the skins.. I have a little bit of things left, but not much. Some things were textured really good back then.. But I had a lot of not so good things too.. hehehe

Just so you know.. I was just being sill when I said that.. Not serious at all.. hehehe It just reminded me of that DR joke I heard once that always made me laugh.. Patient: Doc, it hurts when I do this with my arm. Doctor: Then don't do that. hehehe
