it's one of those Linden decisions that doesn't scale.

Lindens assume (wrongly) that anyone who has set their client to allow them to view adult content, MUST be constantly engaged in adult actiuvity, and their avatar must always be in a state that is inappropriate for Mature or PG sims.

That assumption is completely wrong.. but the Lindens assume that anyone with "enable access to mature sims" checked is probably naked.

So they dump EVERYONE with that checkmark, into an adult-rated telehub. Only issue is, there's currently only one (I think) Adult Rated Telehub. So it's always a sea of people.

Thing is, there's a number of perfectly suitable Linden builds in Zindra that could serve as telehubs, but for some reason, I guess they haven't quite finished the coding to make that work.

I've heard over and over that when proper, modest Caledon is down, people get dumped to Zindra hubs too.

Makes me wonder what would happen, if I invited someone over juuuust before a region restart.

Not that I would ever do that.

Oh, no, not me.

It would be wrong.

It's often a wrong assumption, but it is not necessarily a *bad* assumption. Being unexpectedly dumped onto an adult infohub is far preferable to being unexpectedly dumped onto a PG infohub, particularly when you're in my line of work! Before Zindra came to be, I had long lost count of how many times I was naked on a pole when the region crashed, and getting routed to a PG-rated infohub when I tried logging back in. Yes, I can press CTRL-ALT-H faster than most people can blink, but it was still a scary moment each time it happened.

So I log in to my home location on Mature rated mainland and get a 'region unavailable...' message.

I get dumped in an avatar soup of a dozen or more folks on an adult rated region. Quite the Twister party!

So, I have things set so I can visit adult land but my question is, would anyone get dumped there or would they be redirected someplace else if they were not Adult enabled?

Rime


Twister party?

Groovy to the max, man!

Aren't all infohubs PG by definition? in fact judging by the signs in infohubs including the ones in zindra (both of them) they are even G rated. So it should not matter where you get dumped you are expected to get the fark out of there as soon as you realise you are naked.
