I just got off of a live chat with concierge support. From now on, to age verify, you must open a ticket and send a photo copy of your legal identification. This effect is cascading and will, eventually, affect all residents.

Thanks for the idea! I didn't as I just spend what I earn from my store. But, I gave it a shot. Unfortunately, I wans't able to change back to adult on either the SL or the Phoenix viewer

This is so frustrating. I'm WAY over 18 and my maturity rating has been reduced to general & mature without any way I can find to change it back to adult. I just don't get it Nearly all of my friends have left SL because of these nonsense changes and here's another one... I swear I'm about to follow them out the door.
