Personally I don't really care. I think there should be both PG and Mature sims, I tend to live in Mature sims for some of the reasons already stated. I don't think I hang out much in PG areas though...I tend to spend my time with actual adults! :eek: :D

I totally agree with everything you've said and get annoyed when ALL I hear is trash coming out of some people's mouths. It is the maturity of the people involved, not the rating of the Sim. Hell I like to 'cut up' once in awhile too.

I can't remember the last time I went to a gaming event, and when I did the other day, it was a nightmare... I felt like I was surrounded by 13 yr olds with no adult in sight and think its cool to act like idiots...



But let me say, I am a fairly regular gamer...Pizza, Tringo, Bingo, Boogie, Quintzee, Blood 21 and I have rarely encountered the kind of behavior you did, so please don't judge all us hardcore gamers by the poor manners of a few. :D

I didn't vote because I don't see the point of the poll, but if I catch anyone frolicking naked in Numbakulla, I will nail their nuts to the tree house deck as an example to all.
No frolicking in Numba...OK?

Nemesis is mature, but the punishment is the same...but there it is more fun :-).

Umm..sorry..but I've already rubbed my nakedness against every object in Nurnbakulla.... :p

When I first started reading this I thought you were joking..... by the end I realized you weren't. Were you? Because it pretty much makes my point.

Like I said, I'm no prude... I just think there is a time and place and a limit. And no cursing isn't tied to intelligence, but it is tied to class and while it may not show a lack of intelligence, it does show a clear lack of manners and ability to communicate intelligently.


Oh subtle, from one post you have elicted a cogent and comprehensive determination of my ability to communicate intellingently? It is precisely that sort of obnoxioulsy arrogant value judgement, based on a paucity of actual experience that I find so offensive about your original post. As far as manners go, the offense is not always in the speaker, but sometimes in the interpretation of of the words. For example the expression "I think you are a pedantic, self important, arrogant human being who chooses to make unfounded value judgements based on standards that are unrelated to society at large, and devoid of the intellectual acumen to appreaciate even the simplest fallacy of your own broad-over generalizations-not to mention the inherent arrognace in holding others to your own standards of conduct irrespective of thier personal or cultural norms" is more offensive than simply saying "f**K off" but the latter is far more succinct and artful.

Sorry you took this so personal , I am hardly a saint or prude... and I say F--- and other curse words just like everyone else, but i believe there is a time and a place for it... I wouldn't go to a Bingo hall irl and shout out Fuck you, Go to hell, suck my dick etc etc, would you?

I can't remember the last time I went to a gaming event, and when I did the other day, it was a nightmare... I felt like I was surrounded by 13 yr olds with no adult in sight and think its cool to act like idiots...


I would postulate that the above reference conduct could have been accoplished without ever saying "f**K." Infact the overwhelming amount of griefing can be conducted with equal ability on either PG or M sims. The maturity, intelligence and sophistication of an individual is not defined by the language used, but by actions. What pisses me off is the little miss manners platitude that "using bad words is a mark of someone who has nothing to say" or some such variation.

/Tina - no we dont go around naked or have sex 24/7 - or are al blond or have iceberas at the street..


I go around without clothes as often as possible, letting it all hang out so to speak. But then again what's the point of clothes when you have fur to protect you from the elements? I support maturity, and as such support mature sims. I believe I have the right to walk about nude, but I'm willing to cover up should company be uncomfortable with what they see. It's immature displays (such as excessive swearing, or public masturbation) that give mature sims a bad name.

Yeah I'm with hugsy.....Both are needed....
From: Hugsy Penguin
I voted other for both.

I like the freedom of mature land. Mature land is freedom to be naked, not worry about rezzing a nudie pic, etc..

I don't spend much time on PG land (that I'm aware of, I don't pay all that much attention). But, I do support people's desire to be away from sex, foul language, and such.

With few exceptions, I stay out of PG sims. When I owned land in a PG sim, I had someone actually tell me to stop building for a few minutes so they could wander around and make sure I wasn't hiding anything non-PG, and got very upset when I told them where to head in. Ditched the land a *very* short while later. Even just wandering around PG sims, if it's not a store or a club or something (say, for instance, I'm just exploring) I've lost count of the number of times someone has stopped me and rattled off the 'this is a pg sim you can't swear or do anything dirty I'VE GOT MY EYE ON YOU' line of nonsense, and to hell with that.

OH NO I SAID THE H WORD

I dunno. If a big part of your life is spent hassling other people for living theirs the way they want to, there might be something wrong.

I've never had that problem, but I confess the two places I've had PG land, one was a sim where my group owned a plurality of the land (so, like, the only people to complain... was us!) and the other was a small swatch in a sim that a custom home builder used as his display case.

Oh, and my little plot in Brown, of course.

Religious implications aside, that's kind of the main reason I don't like PG areas. I can understand if someone asks me to wear clothes, it's an entirely different thing when I'm ejected and/or banned for it without a warning.

Addendum:
The religious implications revolve around the "If a big part of your life is spent hassling other people for living theirs the way they want to, there might be something wrong." line. But this is neither the time, nor the thread for that dispute.

Regardless of your preference, one thing has been made certain by this thread. The varied, and often heated, opposing opinions of this thread show the genius in LL having implemented both PG and Mature sims.

Too true. It's a shame we all can't be mature, but Mod bless those chaotic sound spammers and gun toters. They keep life interesting.

Which do you prefer and why?

Sadly, *I* actually prefer PG, I hate going to places, like for example... Asri and I went to Slingo and Pizza events this morning, and all there was, was a bunch of stupid sound files cussing, and the host and everyone else saying F---- This, and Suck my D---- etc etc. I like to be able to be in world and not be ashamed or embarrassed if a family member or friend walk by or look over my shoulder.. PG seems to be where the MATURE adults are =/


Yes i also hate that secondlife is one of the most innovative tools around, and all people are using it for is for the gestures and sound files :P

I stick to PG, mostly cause I don't want to run into random porn as I'm walking around.

i dont care either way ... i own mature land becuase i really didnt want some nanny figure buggin me becuase something i am biudling might happen to look like a fallious in their sick minds...

Besides im not even shure what qualifies as pg inside a relm suposedly populated by adults

PG usually means prental guidence, now if i see some tittys in a pg area and run off to call my mom i would probally get "well your 27 years old, if you havent seen some tittys yet im having you commited"

i totally agree with the line statement tho, if you wanna ride a 25m long penis butt naked cussing like a drunken salor by all means do so on mature land, but please try to abide by basic G rules (i wont call it pg becuase of the above statement) if you cross over

and PLEASE nannys stopit, someone may slip out ass or damn once and a while in G land, but ive seen it happen too much where theres some greiftard seeking out public G areas just to get a rise, and if they suceed, what you end up with is some yahoo constantly spouting out stuff that would make satain blush..

Just like any other greifers if you act like they arnt buggin you, they will get bored and dissapear quickly (or stop all together and have a good time)

When I want to have fun with others I go to PG sims. I don't care much for the endless Homer Simpson type noises, along with the idiotic cussing, I hear in mature sims.

When I want to have real fun I go to my own places in mature sims.
