The problem is anyone can decide that you look "underage" and decide to ruin your day for a number of factors. From clothing, to make up, to heads, to avatar shape can effect this. I put on a goth dommy outfit and makeup one moment, then I go for kawaii aesthetic the next and all the sudden I look "underage"
Again, you're wishing it wasn't easy to distinguish between adults and children and that's not the case.
And as for someone not liking your outfit, anyone can ban me from a sim for having an ugly avi or a female avi. If you want to go somewhere you have to comply with the requirements of the sim owner. That's still the same as ever.

Well, that is exactly WHY this had to be done. People obviously were not making acceptable decisions on what RP is allowed.
Sometimes you have to spell ot out for people. Which is sad but human nature can lead us down some pretty twisted rabbit holes.

Personally I think the whole morality crisis is a bit overblown, but America always seemed really insecure about this kind of thing, so it doesn't surprise me.
Not sure where you're from but I live in a country where we take steps to keep kids safe. The problem with online spaces is that once a behavior is allowed to flourish anonymously for years, it is seen as normal within those communities. Until reality comes knocking.

The folks saying that are talking about the late teen avatars. It really can be hard to tell a 16-17 yr old from an 18-yr old on looks alone.
Yeah that's harder. But honestly...just wear a more adult looking avi for some places.

I still remember the era of height detectors "fondly".
Children have distinct facial features and body shapes and as humans we can easily spot a juvenile. This is not new science. But there will always be people in sl who insist its aabsolutely to impossible to recognize those features in sl. For "reasons"

Just now, brodiac90 said:
I come to SL to relax and do the things I never got to enjoy when I was a kid in RL. My SL family are lovely and have helped me heal a lot.
Sounds like you should keep logging in then. I don't think a modesty layer is "a small price to pay" or any price to pay, really, unless the purpose of your child avi is to be naked.

I didn't say I wanted to be nude, you took my post completely out of context. Where I said, whether I will be able to remin in SL, is refering to whether the content creator for my body will update so I will be complaint. I want to be complaint.
You said you felt sick that you have to wear a modesty layer as a child avi then said you might not renew your membership

If you don't look like a 7 foot tall Kupra Karen your walking on thin ice.

The creepy ones are the people like you. Again, makes me wonder what is going on in your mind. You're definitely someone who should be kept away from real kids.
I apologize for being so normcore.

In my experience, no, a lot of people can't tell the difference.
Lol I've been hearing this for 20 years from age players in sl. Wishful thinking is all it is.

The intent is to make it impossible for kids to be nude. Again, this is mostly a good idea, although part of me feels sick that I need this modesty layer - I've done nothing wrong. I don't know if I'll be able to remain in sl.
I think you need to take a good hard look at why you find the ability to be nude in a child avi so valuable to the point that youre willing to quit sl over it.

Once more: why should that be necessary?
Because it's not much of an ask and won't ruin your family beach day unless the fun for you actually comes from being a naked baby.
Gdanmit why are people so creepy here

Yes, and therefore a stupid point to act on. There is a difference between a naked kid dancing on a pole in a club - and one splashing in the water on a nude family beach. But if I re-enacted my totally innocent and sexfree RL kid summer fun in SL I would be punished for that.
Just put a bathing suit on your baby avatar. It's really not that hard nd it won't take away any of the experience unless its all about being a naked kid on a beach for you.

I love how some people here insist that there's no way we can ever know if it's a child avi. Newsflash - We know what kids look like and no, it's not JUST related to height.

I would like to see better means to protect the adults in SL from the RL children that make accounts to join SL.
There used to be age verification in sl and anyone under 18 was on the teen grid and coudn't go anywhere else. I'm not sure why they dropped it, given the sh** that goes on in sl. Probably lack of bandwidth and not caring too much.

As predicted, there is pushback from a lot of communities in sl but I'm happy they've made changes to the TOS. And disgusted by some people here calling them "prudish". Get out more.

* hard to be social. How to get friends or playing with other. Impression that all player want to play alone
Unfortunately a lot of people in sl have bought into the idea that having a nice avi somehow makes them amazing and they get quite snooty about who they talk to. Don't take it personally. It's hilarious when you think about what's probably behind the avatar.

We're on page 11, and Inara's blog isn't on the Forum. So, I'm confused.
I was refering to this. (below). I'm glad they're going to try something new, hopefully people will be able to speak more freely there. But I have my doubts.

Linden Lab likely doesn't want to be viewed as contributing to RL child pornography or abuse either, so any depictions that could be viewed by the public are also their concern. Viewing simulated behavior that is illegal or repugnant to most people won't make most people want to do that behavior in RL, but for those who are inclined to do such behaviors in RL, viewing it might encourage them. Thus LL must make it difficult for sexual AP to be seen, even if they can't stop it completely.
Agreed.
Hopefully they'll do their best, it's not an easy thing to tackle and toes will be stepped on but i think it's worth it. I forsee a lot of pushback from some communities in sl

I haven't had a chance to watch a minute of it. Just caught this on Inara Pey's indispensable blog:
Looks interesting
It'll probably be locked by page 2

You're deliberstely making this much more complicated than it is. If you are this fearful of getting banned from a sim the simple solution is to make yourself look older. If you find that confusing, ask some people putside your sl social circle for help. Many people have seen rl children and understand how to differentiate between them and adults.
