Well I've just been back to my land and the club is on mature land so I'm glad I didn't AR it as I'd have felt might silly. My PG plot is on the edge of the sim and their club is on the edge of the sim.

My PG plot is on the edge of the sim and their club is on the edge of the sim. It would actually make sense to have a PG continent, to avoid this problem. Why should you, or your guests/customers, have to look at adult material right next door just because you happen to be on the edge of a sim? Surely it would make more sense to put all the PG sims together to give those who choose to be in a PG enviroment proper protection from the rest of us? |

I think it would be hypocritical to complain about mere stupidity.
I'm far from perfect myself. |

Only if you sign this waiver not to AR me for being broadly offensive. Very good. Where might I acquire said wavier form? The owner of said boobies will not be legally liable from any tort action on the part of the party of the third part for exhibiting the party of the first parts boobies. While the party of the fifth part is allowed to shake her so-called booty around in a suggestive manner, but only if the party of the sixth part agrees to keep his unit from touching the alleged booty. _____________________

I shouldn't think this is possible. Once you've sold something, you've transferred ownership. I suppose you could buy it back, but why would you? Nobody can balme you for how something is used, unless you've created something designed to abuse, thati s. One couldn't buy something back unless it was for sale, but as you stated, why would you. About the only thing the creator could do is set up a listen for chat from the creator, and de-rez the build from a command, but, the buyer would loose the item if it was a no copy item. Not a paticularly smart thing to do, as customers would get miffed if the content creator was chasing them around judging the usage of the item. A building creator would have zero liability concerning abuse. |

Alternatively they change the land so a PG sim is at a different terraform level to the mature sim next door. |

Doesn't it state in the TOS that even if you are on a mature sim you can not display anything broadly offensive that can be viewed easily from a PG sim?
I think such a rule is unenforceable, the Lindens would be way too busy to chase those down, but just curious if I'm correct. |

I've got a similar situation near my land. However there's nothing overtly offensive with the outside of the building although it's clear what happens inside. I make it clear in my PG rentals that the area is not suitable for adult businesses so if my tenants complain I'll AR it but I'd have to venture inside to see the non PG material. I'm sure that what's going on there is just shocking. You should go in 5 different times just to be sure, and verify that every single time the behavior is abominable. Take 30 or so photos to prove it. Sorry, I don't mean to make fun of you, Ciaran, but I'm just trying to visualize how you could AR something like that and keep a straight face. |

I have wondered about this, since I allow and encourage my residents to "express themselves" in any way they want, and my Mature beach sits on the edge of a PG Linden Ocean. It's not possible for anyone to live in the PG Sim, but sensitive eyes could float by and catch sight of parts waving at them. But at least most of them match. |

ROFL Whaaaaaaaaaaaat???? I was trying to be funny, but I never expected anyone to laugh at THAT part. That's what they say -- don't take my word for it, go look at all the Linden Oceans surrounding Nautilus. It labels them PG in the map view too. |

A Linden once told my friend who owned mature land next to a PG sim that very thing. But that was back when you find a Linden to talk to. _____________________

I'm hoping to get some advice on what to do about this new situation. I bought a 512 plot on PG land, assuming my visitors would not be exposed to so-called mature activities against their will. Overnight, a large placard has appeared offering 'escort' services (ie: prostitution) and a short distance away there is now a very large strip club. Are the owners of these things infringing SL terms of service? What sim is this in? Other people may be willing to go and AR them as well, it sometimes can speed up the action by LL to have more AR's. _____________________

Well, I went there and checked it out.. didnt look like strip club, wasnt called a strip club, didnt have dancer poles... then, I checked the owner's profile picks, and there it was.. advertised as a strip club. So, I bothered to IM the owner and let them know they can't have a strip club in a PG sim, and about 20 min later I got a response when he logged on (he was off at the time of the IM). He told me that it's not a strip club, because he realized that it's in a PG sim, and, is in the process of selling off the land so he can buy in a mature sim. Turns out 1/2 the land was in one sim, and 1/2 in another, and he didnt realize the other sim was PG (the other is mature). So, I wouldnt bother ARing him since there's absolutely nothing offensive in the build at all whatsoever, no dancers, no dance poles, no mature content at all. He was extremely nice to me, very willing to explain the situation, very willing to admit his mistakes (buying PG and buying across sim lines), and is in the process of rectifying the situation. So, the lesson being, before you go off ARing people over nothing (which, essentially this was, since there was zero offensive material on display), maybe try IM'ing them and asking (nicely, like I did), and generally (but not always), you can resolve a situation without lobbing another AR at LL. Everyone complains about how long it takes LL to respond to ARs, yet, have no problem ARing someone who doesnt deserve it.
