child avatars - where to report.

This would not include a child avatar with a couple groups walking through a store as illustrated above.

That is a very well written WIKI page, Marianne!

Heh, I never even considered the Partner field as something someone might find questionable. But again, if the person's main form is an adult, no reason that adult can't have a Partner.

After nearly two years as a kid in SL? I've heard 'em all.

But BDSM gear clearly made for child avvies (not just scaled to fit small avatars, but with hover text that clearly states it's intended for a kid)? Or a playpen or crib equipped with sex poses? Yurch... Yeah, that sort of thing should not be in SL.

Thank you for the report. We'll take it from here.

(Now, where did we leave that little ol' lady rent-a-cop?)

that avatar needs to be reported because it feels good, helping to keep SL a safe and good place for everyone. Isnt it better to remove one potentially offensive individual too much then knowing the person might still be out there offending god knows whom? who could bare that thought, it would be best to remove just about anyone who is even in the least bit suspiscious of being offensive in the future. we cant have such people in SL, where just about anyone is easily offended. people here with their childlike innocense arent able to deal with this stuff on their own and easily get scarred for life, they need to be protected by upright citizens like Caz Catteneo. and if you were reported unjsutified yourself and removed from the game, you shouldnt feel so bad about it since it is for the best interest of the whole community. you might be disapointed about it for a few moments, that is just natural, but very quickly you will realize how much better and safer a place SL has become without you for thousands of players, so it will give you a warm and cozy feeling inside. even if noone gives a damn, at least the player reporting you fels good and isnt that worth all the trouble?

Worst... troll (or ignorant person)... ever

Nah. I just read that as being really sarcastic.

Me too. I thought it was a great bit of sarcasm.

Is there anything in the ToS/CS that penalises people for filing false/misleading ARs? Such as falsely reporting "ageplay" when there was none.

I respect the OP for two things:

1) Wanting to protect children. RL kids that is.

and

2) ASKING about it here to clarify.

It's times like this where our knee-jerk reaction is to "save teh kiddies!!" and that's fine, but then we need to step back and look at it with a bit of common sense (which I think should be called "rare sense" these days).

In this case, with the data supplied, no, there's no reason to AR, nor even be upset.

The heated posts in this thread stem from idiots making ARs for no good reason. On this I have a question I'll ask here, because it pertains to the discussion (and I don't feel like starting a new thread):

And if there is not, why not? Cause there darn well should be, imo. Not only would this help protect innocents from slanderous ARs, but might save LL looking through a few thousand bullsh** ARs per day.

NO. In fact, when the Lindens ruled that sexual ageplay involving avatars that appeared to be minors was no longer tolerated in SL, they EXPLICITLY made it clear that it was not an offense merely to BE in the form of a child. The offense comes ONLY when that child avatar is used in a sexual situation.

When the ageplay restrictions were first introduced Liasons were telling people that any under-18 age reference (even if it's obvious that it's roleplay age) in a profile had to be removed. That was also part of the policy notecard that was passed around at the time.

*makes a mental note to ask the governance team at the next office hour and update the post with the response*

I was in a store, when a child avatar walked past.
I looked at her profile and she belongs to a group called under 12 girls only
and young nudist
Where do i report this please.

Ask an ignorant question, and you just might get dozens and dozens of intelectual replies...rather enlightening aint it?

And not one mean spirited response. Pretty good, I say.

...I also have a sexgen bed at home (which I have been known to use). So does this mean when I'm a child, I can never go home?...

Is there a rule that there can't be under 18 Avatars?
Yes I know under 18s can not or should not join SL I compltely agree with that, and they should join the teenage version of SL.
I saw a young girl avatar the other day, the profile of the owner said they were female and the RL age. Nothing to idecate if in a sexual role, nor was it a sexual area.
Sadly because of what goes on in RL with children being sexually abused I feel we should not have child like avatars in SL. Of course I recall last year the TV reports of sexual abuse in SL by UK Sky News and the subsequent closure by Linden of the area due to sex with child like avatars by avatars who in RL were what was said to be perverts.
So if confirmed that Linden have a rule against child like avatars when we see one we should report. Just like we would if we found an under 18 in with an account. If no rule I suggest you contact Linden with a view to have one.
It is sad the bad guys take our freedom away from us, but that is real life these days.
