Adult content officially banned from Mature and PG land from 15th September

What? I need permission to kill someone and chop them up? What is this SL coming to? lol

The "advertises or publicly promotes" is your escape clause if you do it in private. If you dont do either, its not adult rated

I'm not going to be out there ARing either. Although you can be sure that there will be the annoying vigilantes out there ARing anyone for the smallest little thing.

[15:38] Sin Toshi: but, you say that sex poseballs can be sold in Mature?
[15:39] Blondin Linden: We realize that even sex animations can be sold on Mature even though people liek to test ouit what they buy first
[15:40] Blondin Linden: That is still MAture
[15:41] Blondin Linden: The demos are fine and wont get you into trouble nor will they be adult enough to qualify you as ADULT
[15:42] Blondin Linden: What kind of language do you use to advertise Sin?
[15:43] Blondin Linden: as long as you avoid oviously adult words like *CENSORED*, *CENSORED*, *CENSORED*, stuf like that, then your fine and don't have to worry about anything

[15:46] Blondin Linden: [15:42] *Resident*: i saw a notice, that spoke of any location which advertised or marketed adult content....what if the content is on a site, but it is not advertised, or marketed.....is it ok then? ANSWER: Selling Adult COntent doesn't mean the vendor has to be on Adult land.

[15:48] Blondin Linden: [15:42] *Resident*: and what's to sto an overzealous G-Team person from pouncing on us if they come in the store and see the word BDSM... even if we don't advertise with it ANSWER: There will be a process for appealing any G Team decision that you find unfair

[16:02] Blondin Linden: [15:53] *Resident*: no, no, no Blondin.. you totally missed the point.. YOU SAID that STORES would be mature, clubs would be ADULT. Don't filter SHOPPING parcels, since you said THOSE ARE MATURE. ANSWER: Yes I did. And the stores would be mature. But the key words they use would be flagged adult

[16:14] Blondin Linden: [16:03]*Resident*: Blondin, So if a store is mature and its keywordas are adult, does that mean that the store can be in a mature region, but in order to find it in the search you would have to check the adult option and have your viewer set to adult level? ANSWER: If they use Adult keyword, they will ahve to be on Adult land.

[16:19] Blondin Linden: [16:06] *Resident*: Well they said from the start that this isn't about preventing people selling sex beds on mature land...you just can't advertise a sex bed in classifieds as sex is filtered ANSWER: Correct.

[12:27] Blondin Linden: [12:18] Sin Toshi: at your office hours, Blondin, you told me I would be able to sell (and demo) sex poseball on mature land as long as I did not advertise them...But your answer to *Resident* is throwing all kind of doubt on that? Is it safe to have unadvertised sexual content on mature land? ANSWER: You can sell your pose balls and sexual content on mature land as as long as the words you use to advertize are not adult. Adult key words can only be used on adult land. Also, the content itself doesn't make the store automatically adult. You need to ask yourself. :How do I want to advertize and how do I plan on reaching my customers?"

[12:42] Blondin Linden: [12:30] *Resident*: Blondin, you just said that pose balls and sexual furnitures sellers can sell them on mature lands if they don't advertise them using adult words In that case, can they have those adult products on demo in their mature shop , or only sell them through vendors ? ANSWER: People will be allowed to demo content they wish to purchase. It would be unfair to say No. We've all had buyers remorse in SL

[16:03] Sin Toshi: Is unadvertised sex poseball/sex bed content still OK on mature land? Did that policy change at some point? Or did I misunderstand what you told me during previous office hours?
[16:04] Blondin Linden: You can sell a sex bed on Mature land
[16:04] Sin Toshi: but not poseballs?
[16:04] Blondin Linden: you can sell those too
[16:04] *Resident*: i moved my sexbed business as i mistakenly thought i would face trouble if i didnt...
[16:05] Blondin Linden: well, Story, on Adult land, you can now advertize SEX BED. While on Mature land, you can advertize BED. Its a way to reach your market

Promise you'll take a picture, please.

So what the hell happened to the idea that they were only after the ADVERTISED and VISIBLE IN SEARCH adult content?
If the policy has changed (or has always been) that all COMMERCIAL and/or PUBLICLY AVAILABLE adult content has to move to Zindra, then I wish the official Linden spokesperson an Adult Content issues would stop saying otherwise.

Any Region must be designated Adult and therefore require account verification, if it advertises or publicly promotes the following:

* Representations of intensely violent acts, whether or not photo-realistic (for example, depicting death, torture, dismemberment or other severe bodily harm)
* Photo-realistic nudity; photo-realistic means that an image either is or cannot be distinguished from a photograph
* Expressly sexually themed content, spaces or activities (whether or not photo-realistic); we will broadly define what is "sexually themed" to include any sexually oriented activities and conduct

So what the hell happened to the idea that they were only after the ADVERTISED and VISIBLE IN SEARCH adult content?

LOL


If it wasn't so pathetic that would be hilarious.

IF this encompasses all adult content, not just businesses, as they have repeatedly stated, then LL can go to Hell and do their own dirty work. I wouldn't file an AR if I saw two nuns and a penquin wearing a strapon going at it at The Governor's Mansion.

[11:14] Blondin Linden: Gomez, If thats what it comes down to. But it'll work like any other AR. I urge you to keep following up a few days after if any of you file ARs. You more you file the better.

I paid a lot of money for a store parcel on the border of a welcome area. It did OK for a while then new residents seemed to stop flying around after landing.

I took advantage of the offer to swap to Zindra. The new location in the upper west part of zindra off by itself does 10 times the business the location next to a welcome area did. The demographic there is absolutely expressly interested in adult content.

I have no idea why all of you are complaining. You had your chance to move free. If you blew it off then go visit the auction or wait till the prices really go up or rent. Or flag your private estate adult. Or don't and stop with commercialized adult content. Your choice.
