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

You have got to be jokeing lol
Consistent is the very thing they havent been... inless they are trying to be unclear that is.

None of which quotes him saying anything to imply the OP was wrong...

And Slapt.me's links to the contrary point to stuff that is pretty old from the early days of all of this.

I think people who -want- to believe they can still have their sexbeds in their private homes are reading consistency into this; relying on old comments and so on - whereas there doesn't seem to be anything one way or the other directly on point in recent comments made since the policy seems to have been finalized.

No, they will not. We asked. The reasoning is something like: we don't want people to be able to *see* the adult content from neighboring regions. That's why the new adult continent, Zindra, is way the hell east of anything else.

The flaw in that theory is estates can have any combination of ratings next to each other, but they say estates can manage their guest's experience how they want.

I've got my own dose of wishful thinking, but I don't see anything contemporary backing up my desires...

You shouldn't need anything contemporary (recent). An LL statement lasts until a contrary statement is made. It's rather like men and the words "I love you". Men say it once, and the truth of it lasts until they say something to the contrary, whereas women want to be told it quite often

Also, the oceans of Zindra are rated Mature.

Yeah, well you know, we'd still like to hear it every so often, just the same.

That's not correct, I just did a map scan of all the water regions around Zindra, and they all report as (Adult). If you have a counter-example, let me know and I will go visit it to make sure.

If a teen/kid see's a unclad nipple they might kill people... or something..

If my av goes to Zindra and see topless women and then has a wet dream later that evening in his PG home, does he run the chance of being AR'd.

Hi Gomez,

That's a bit more like what I've been saying. Adult content is still allowed on mature land, and doesn't need to "stay under the radar". But there are circumstances in which it is no longer allowed. So people who have sex items in their 'mature land' homes have no cause for concern.

However, we've understood from way back that shops that sell primarily non-adult items, and also sell some adult items, are still allowed on mature land as long as the adult items are not advertised, and I saw nothing in the OH log to change that understanding. In fact, at one point, Blondin suggested using the word "bed" instead of "sex bed". For instance, in my store I sell mostly non-adult furniture and I also sell some sex furniture. The store is not primarily a sex store. There are no adult words in the place's name or description, so nothing of that nature appears in search. (I do use the word "adult" which I may have to change). I use the word "sex" on the signs for the sex furniture, and I may have to change them. But I am still allowed to sell those adult items in the store. That's what we've understood from soon after the new policy was announced, and there's nothing in the log that indicates anything different. Especially, there is no need for concern about private homes on mature land, because adult stuff is still allowed in them.

I for one Welcome our porn free Overlords!!! Praise the day I can go somewhere and not see naked noobies with there freenis's going SEX ME SEX ME!@

I'm sorry Phil, but if you have sex beds I will have to AR you. Everytime I see such things I worry that I may not get to heaven.

Thank you, Gomez, but nothing in that part indicates what you wrote in your original post:-

In fact, there's nothing there that indicates anything different to what we've always understood; i.e. adult content is allowed on mature land.[/QUO

NOW DOES THAT MEAN NO ADULT CONTENT OR DOES IT MEAN YES YOU CAN HAVE ADULT CONTENT In my native tounge no adult content would mean none. Can a Linden put this in writing as stores have moved to adult land at there expence yet now there is romours that sex beds are allowed to be sold on mature land. (smashes head on desk)

All land is composed of regions. Regions are owned by estate owners. Regions are divided into parcels. Parcels are owned by parcel owners.

Even if you "own a whole region" on the mainland, you don't own the region itself, you just own all the parcels on it.

Agreed.

I've got my own dose of wishful thinking, but I don't see anything contemporary backing up my desires...

my point was they need to stick to their wording they use in the CS if they are going to use it in the definitions..you have private region owners thinking they are talking about mainland regions because they left off the word private..

in the maturity definitions they only mention region..

I have to agree here. Someone please show me something in the TOS or CS that says in clear language that "Adult content is allowed on private land" or anything even close to that.

What we do have is a lot of "Blondin said"

Try using that in your appeal to the AR about your sex bed or nude picture.. It is meaningless. ALL that matters is what the TOS and CS say. And they are clear as mud on this topic.

I will consider that ALL adult content is not allowed on mature parcels period. Until the TOS/CS specificly allows it, as far as I am concerned it is banned.

I rented a homestead 2 months ago over this, now flagged adult, and with no public access to boot. I could see it coming, the massive AR's, the lack of anything clear on the subject. Think about it, it is win-win for LL. You now have to move to Adult land, either buy into Zimbra, or rent/own a private estate. Just more tier for them. And if you leave over it? Also good, they have made it very clear that the Adult content people are not wanted and are only in the way of their plans for a corporate presense in SL.

I'm not sure I understand why. If they meant mainland regions then they would say mainland. The word "region" doesn't have anything to do with whether the region is on a private estate or the Linden estate.

Right. Regions are the smallest things that can be rated. Whether they're on the Linden estate (mainland) or private estates. It's up to the ESTATE OWNER to set the region's rating.

the thing is we have been on the subject since it has started with the whole zindra move and the definitions and things..some people are just now finding out..look how many people in here are still confused about things that have been keeping up with this..

A forum thread title is *not* an offical statement. An examination of the office hour log by a number of people in this thread, reveals that no such statement was made by any Linden and yet the source of (reason for) the thread title and post was that office hour. The original post, and the title of this thread, are wrong. There is no new LL language, and adult content is *not* banned from Mature land.
