Explicit Adult Chat on Mainland? & Other Worries Re: Lax Adult Content Restrictions

With the adult restrictions coming into effect on the mainland my question is: will explicit adult chat be censored or punishable on the mainland? Representations of violence and photo realistic portrayal of nudity is already being removed so shouldn't Linden Labs also move to restrict morally reprehensible language and/or language which explicitly describes sexual activity from the mainland also? A movie can be rated "R" in the US preventing children under the age of 18 to view it without adult supervision because of inappropriate language & I also believe there are similar restrictions on music with with inappropriate lyrics. I believe LL should put in place a chat and IM filter restricting such language.

Also: there should be concern that minors are being exposed to pornographic content through notecards and image uploads that are not rez'ed and yet are openly traded between avatars. Will LL move to enforce a ban on inter-avatar trading of pornographic images? Perhaps LL will adopt some type of photo filter which will restrict non-age verified accounts to upload pornographic or violent images?

Further: I am also concerned that there is a plethora of persons over the age of 18 utilizing the Teen Grid who are in all likelihood some type of sexual predator. Will LL put an age verification system in place for Teen Grid members to ensure no one over the age of 18 logged in there?

Please Linden Labs! Respond to these concerns or else the Mainland risks becoming a cesspool of filth like the Internet with adult content everywhere available to underage children. I believe with my suggestions in place we can make the Mainland the most morally correct place in the world!

wait what? .... this isnt going to end well either. x.x

I had to go through a live chat and a ticket in order to get my under 18 kid onto the teen grid. There are enough hoops there that I am surprised anyone can get on.

As for the rest, please tell me this is tongue in cheek? Otherwise, the Mainland will become the most emptiest place in the world.

this plus fries ^^

Fred's post from earlier today:



He wants to go around the grid reporting parcels that are not adult because his Sim Landland flagged his sim adult ahead of everyone else.

You are really making the most famous Hegel roll in his grave over this kind of stuff - and that says a lot.

Not sure what you mean by Troll Alert but if you're questioning my sincerity... believe me! Like many Americans I grew up with a strong religious background & moral correctitude is my prerogative! Like I stated in my original post - I'm quite satisfied... if not relieved that Linden Labs is banishing visually explicit content from the mainland (about time, right?) but my concern is that Linden Labs hasn't gone far enough. Please with your help we can put my suggestions in place and make the Mainland a better place!

oh you were serious about all this make it clean for children crap?

Take your Police State Fascism to There.com.

#1 - Uninstall SL
#2 - Log into secondlife.com and cancel your account
#3 - Prepare for the return of Comet Hale Bop and to leave the planet A.S.A.P (make sure to buy white Nikes with the gold swoosh, or you will get left behind like the last group).

LOL!

I'm not talking about police state fascism but simply putting into place some content filters on media that is socially reprehensible which more or less already exist in our society! Listen, I'm not saying these people should be wiped out from the Grid entirely... they can dwell in their own underbelly continent and let God do the judging! What I'm saying is make the Mainland more like the Main-Marketplace where kids aren't allowed to listen to curse words or trade pornographic stuff!

PS: Nancy Reagan, are you here with me?

I vote Fred for Grid Nanny!!!

Seriously hope so...

God gave us genitals for a reason. They're meant to be used, and often. Just ask the morally upstanding governor of South Carolina.

I wear one of these to protect me from God doing the judging.



It keeps me from catching the stuff you are trying to spread:

So we can flash them on Zindra in the presence of Immy so Lias can call us Pedo's! YAY!

"Fred", stop trying to drum up anti-Americanism on July 4th. Lame, lame, lame.
.

Well as you know this is just one setback... and unfortunate it had to come so close to the fall of Elliot Spitzer our previous moral crusader... for the resurgence of the morally correct in America. But despite these setbacks lets make Second Life our new rallying point for our moral world... a place devoid of all these corrupt politicians!

Well you clearly are the Anti-American here! If you've studied history well you know that this country was founded by the most morally righteous people in the world! And throughout our history morality has always won out against vile filth! Except for those idiots in the Supreme Court which insist on protecting the rights of evil people everywhere!

Hello has something changed as i was of the belief that SL was for ADULTs so kids are not allowed to listen to anything in there?
As for your let god do the judging if he is against SL why does he not strike it down?

Why so many opponents to my beliefs? Am I the only one who would rather not casually encounter explicit language on the mainland? Common, I know you're out there supporters, let's hear your voice!

Lets not mention the number of ministers who have been fiddling with the boys now shall we whilst they tell the rest to be good or pay the price.
Fred its simple SL is multi cultural therfore also multi denominational and here is a shock to you there are even a lot who are atheists. So please do us all a favour since your so shocked with talk on the main land ( after all this is where the main changes are your talking about oh and i live on the main land) get your own island and do with it as you want. DO NOT LEAVE IT then you can think all is right in your world

*laughs* oh i see! Well then, carry on ....
.

Well as you know many forms of physical punishment and explicit portrayal of sexual activity are also a part of certain cultural norms but clearly LL has drawn the line here so - NO, this type of activity should not be acceptable on the Main Land!

it was founded by the natives..

Oh dear god . . . this HAS to be a joke?

Fred, on behalf of all REAL pro-censorship, anti-freedom, stamp-upon-the-Constitution-and-ban-the-doggy-position vigilantes, I implore you to stop this. You are giving us a bad name!
