So I take a break from SL for 3 months to pursue some real life tasks and when I come back, there's heated discussion on a new policy? or something... what's going on with SL lately??

I read the blogs and forum posts thinking to myself "huh? what are they trying to do?"

The last time I heard news was back in January when they bought out slx and onrez and were thinking of attaching the adult grid to the teen grid... is that related to this new adult content policy?

The Lindens are in the process of creating a new continent where all the sex related business will be moved to. If you intend to operate a sex based business, be prepared to move it to an estate, where it must be properly labeled as adult related, or, to the new continent.

People are understandably upset. You can read about it in the blog.

Banishing all the real naughty stuff to the new adult continent is probably a precursor to turning the teens loose on the main grid, but it sure FEELS like 2 seperate bend-over-and-take-it's.

Future "bend-over-and-take-it" policies will be restricted to the new Adult continent.

I wonder what will be the "threshold" for the "adult/PG" thing, i always considered my sim deserve PG, even that i'm a bdsm/fetish designer.

(i blur tits and naughty bits on my product pictures, plus it's not like i'm selling truly sexually oriented stuffs, i'm more like selling bondage and fetish outfits. Last time i checked chaining up someone isn't considered a mature activity or cops would be getting sued all the time IRL)
