... what happened overnight was that 2 parcels was removed from search, but none of them no longer has any adult content or (known) words. No parcels have been flagged adult as far as I can see (by automated process).

One of the parcels removed from search was the Age verification zone and Info Center in Concinna.

Well, I did check that, both when I edited the listings last, and just now, and none of the words are filtered at adult level.

Meanwhile, live chat is still referencing something *I* wrote about the schedule for the changes:

Very strange. Your parcels do not appear with only the adult box ticked, in world? You still got the email though. Seems the only thing we can be sure is correct is the title of this thread.

I got it also and am thinking I have a word or words in my land description that is flagging the search. Did LL ever decide to tell us which words were naughty? Or is it still a secret?

Daniel has spent hours keeping this list up to date and its probably about the best you will find on the subject

This is exactly the kind of thing people were emphatically telling them needed to be done months ago. They waited until the day before the land swaps ended to do it.

This is either monumental incompetence, or an act of contempt.

Probably both sadly

I just got this email too, and concierge chat could offer me no help in locating the parcel it is in reference to.

I went inworld and found that one of my parcels is now listed as adult.

Ask for a swap for the parcel, with this letter as support, and if you get it donate the parcel to one of the people who have been turned down.

You will also need to choose a category other than Adult for your parcel, as this category has been replaced by the Adult maturity.

Is that passage from the initial post an accurate quote? It seems like it might have a transcription error in it. It doesn't make sense to me.

It's perfectly straightforward, once you think about what they mean by "category". The parcel *category* (in "list under search as Residential, Hangout, etc..."

is going away. All parcels "listed in search as adult" will need to pick another category. Instead of being "listed in search as adult", your parcel will need to be in adult land but can be "listed in search as hangout, residential, ...".

The problem is I got two copies of this email, and I *know* I did not use adult words cause

(a) I practically wrote the wiki page listed above and tested every word personally

I wonder if that triggered it?
