I agree - LL makes mistakes and reverts them. That is why we discuss this mistake LL made by leaving a gap in the TOS for the child avatar community to exploit and create issues for the Adult Community.
There is no gap. If you have a parcel or location that contains sexually oriented content and behavior, then a player playing a kid toon is facing instaban for being caught showing up in it. This is about as draconian a regime as I can imagine. And you think it's not strict enough?

From: Lias Leandros
Of course the child avatar community needs to do some self evaluation, acknowledge the fears of some of the SL community concerning child avatars and adult content and then work with the community and Linden Lab to put a plan in place to keep everyone co-existing.
You mean like they actually do?

From: someone
As opposed to what the child avatar community have been posting in these Zindra threads since last week.
It's not just the child avatar community pointing out that your arguments have no basis in reality.

From: Lias Leandros
I hold out hope that one of you can admit the child avatar community has had a somewhat tumultuous last two years
That's like saying the Jewish community had a few tumultuous years around the middle of the 20th century.

We're not letting you have your Kristalnacht.

And of course you are that deeply involved in the kid avatar community that you know there was no reaction, no evaluation, no nothing after these incidents? Lias, Lias, Lias... you *really* have no idea what you are talking about.
Of course, the child avatar community posted blanket denials in over 300 pages of forums while they secretly huddled, acknowledged these concerned and are working on a solution that will be effective for the entire SL Community, Linden Lab and the Internet Watch Groups.
From: someone
The peaceful co-existence is not endangered by kid avatars - it is endangered by a small minority of wanna-be moralists and simple minded hysterics. By pepple like L... L... who promotes criminal acts and violations of the TOS. Any clarification from you, Lias? No? How surprising...
Based on the fact that child avatars have been the center of negative issues since 2007 (pedo Scandal, SL5B ban and protests and now Adult Zindra) I do not see the child avatar co-existing Peacefully at all.

I have no idea what that political tag means.
I am just a person that has seen these child avatar people 'hide' behind the avatar and cause havoc on this platform for a few years not. LL saw the writing on the wall last year and began distancing themselves from these people. Now some child avatars and their ilk are posting in these forums that they can build and reside 32 meters away from Adult Content in Zindra. Several people have posted in this thread against child avatars entering Zindra - you all have thoroughly ignored them or laughed at everyone's concerns. To you all the past never happened and if ti did it is no reflection on you and the future painted by some will never happen and if it does its a elaborate trap.
Nobody is laughing at anyone's concerns. What I'm doing, along with quite a few others, is pointing out the major flaws in what appear to me to be invalid concerns as they're presented. (=_=)

You hack up my quote in order to benefit the statement you want to make. Maybe there are still (sexual)ageplayers. But, the second statement is a MUCH more important part of the argument...

From: Imnotgoing Sideways
...They will be in closed groups. They will be on private, group-access-only sims. And, they will probably, if not surely, NEVER venture out to mainland at the risk of being discovered for what they do. If they do, I'm sure they have an adult or at least an unknown and disposable alt to take care of that role...
I wish I knew the tag for making things bold. But, I guess bold only works for the ~visually~ impaired. (>_<;)

Basically, whatever (sexual)ageplayers do exist, are probably walled off in their own private-sim ghetto with a VERY clear understanding that they're violating documented guidelines in regards to their activity. I severely doubt, to the greatest degree, that they'd ever venture out into mainland strictly out of fear of the termination of their account. Even moreso on (Adult) land, given the climate now. (=_=)

Again, at the risk of repeating myself...

From: Imnotgoing Sideways
So, really, you're barkin up the wrong tree. You're not preventing real harm from occurring to real children. You're not doing anything to prevent (sexual)ageplay. And, you're ignoring a corporate decision made by Linden Lab to satisfy your own, individual, rationalization of what "Adult" means. (=_=)
... In fact, you're probably helping perpetuate it because all of your statements of intended actions such as ARs and the like are probably being carefully studied by a (sexual)ageplayer who is building a strategy to avoid getting ARed and terminated. You're probably helping perpetuate it because someone with a borderline fantasy has now found that they have more to be afraid of in SL and will have to take their kink somewhere else... Maybe eve real life? You're probably helping perpetuate it because you're drawing attention to people asking to walk on a street while the ones who actually want to get on the poseballs will NEVER show up around your place or show up in your field of view. (=_=)

So, while you're rallying against child avatars walking on streets or shopping in stores that have a word (Adult) in the land description... There's probably a mass child-orgy going on in an estate sim you don't even have access to. There's probably a soon-to-be kidnapper getting his candy-van warmed up because she's afraid all this attention her kink is getting online is driving her away. Does it warm your heart that you're distracting people from real issues? Are pixel kids THAT important and dangerous to you? (=_=)

You speak of the "Corporate Decision" to block kid AVs from participating in SL5B. Yet, in the documentation supplied in regards to the event, there is no mention of kid avatars being restricted. It was a very 'hush-hush' operation of notes being returned by one or two coordinators stating that they were "respectfully declined" and really probably only hit the blog after people started asking questions. Besides that, I ask that you provide proof of this "Corporate Decision" or I'll just chalk it down as yet another invented reality on your part. (=_=)

On the other hand, the permittance in non-sexually oriented (Adult) land locations of child avatars is clearly documented right now. A corporate decision, as I see it. I can't imagine a Knowledge Base article being posted without at least a proofreader involved. Much ado about nothing. (=_=)

Sorry, but I guess you overread all the stuff about the already existing rules on sexual ageplay. They will stay in tact, so there won't be kid avatars having sex or dancing nude and raucously with nude adults. LL acknowledges what many said already: Zindra or other adult flagged regions won't be a giant fuckfest, there will be lots of non-adult content, and LL acknowledges that there is no reason to ban kid avatars from making use of *this*.

The Linden staff that represent Linden Lab told child avatars that they could not participate.
So now Linden Lab did not decide to ban child avatars from SL5B - it was some 'selection committee' made up of non-Linden staff. More blanket denials and zero culpability.

Ummm ... right? Look back at the documentation that was floating around a year ago as to who was in charge of the event. Some Lindens had involvement (they provided the sims after all) but a lot of the upper-level resident comittee quit after that decision ... coincidence? Whether it was the few Lindens or the residents is beside the point .... it was individuals.

False. False. False. You know this is false. You know this is false. You know this is false. You know this is false. I'll say it again, in caps this time. YOU KNOW THIS IS FALSE.

You've got a lot of gall making up this tripe. You couldn't even get a job at the National Enquirer with this stuff, they'd tell you that you're making up too much, and we all know that they don't print a thing there that's actually in touch with reality.

The pictures I post are examples of things that are NOT violations, even though you’re prepared to say they are. The thing is, they’re being presented publically, available for all to see, over a period of months. If I’m depicting a TOS/CS violation of any sort, one would guess that I would have had my account terminated long ago. (=_=)

No. You only quote the wind up before the pitch because it can be easily manipulated to drive your invented reality. (=_=) See... I made an “If” statement. Not a “not” statement. (=_=)
From: someone
And I said before - wherever there are child avatars there are sexual ageplayers.
Wherever there are adult avatras, there are (sexual)ageplayers. Prove me wrong. You don’t know. You don’t have the criminal history of each and every avatar in your presence. (^_^)
From: someone

There’s nothing to deny because nothing is there. You’re the ONLY one who believes your opinion about the SL5B fiasco and apparently blinded yourself from the grid-wide effort to have an inclusive event of PG communities. Which, went off practically without a hitch this year, if nobody noticed. (^_^)y

Strange, I have only seen you post as being against it lately. Which probably means they did not feel so strongly about it that they would stick around.



it's likely that they've done a little research, even if that means simply reading this thread, and have since been working hard at distancing themselves. since her quixotic crusade began she has succeeded in alienating some who were her allies in the beginning.

23, read Desmond's reason for not posting anymore - he does not change his stance on child avatars in Adult Zindra - he just does not want to discuss it with many people that refuse to even acknowledge that depicting children in and around adult content in Zindra will be internet fodder and damaging to everyone on the platform.
No one wants to painted with the broad brush of scandal again just because people are not responsible enough to don child avatars and behave appropriately.

You have not convinced anyone who does not want child avatars in Adult Zindra to accept the idea. And no one can convince you that it will be a bad idea. But we discuss it anyway. And Linden Lab allows us to do so in their forums.

I have no need for allies or groups of people piling on agreeing with me and knocking back anyone else with an opinion that does not mimic mine. On the other hand - some do need that.

Desmond's reason is not "there is something wrong with kid toons", it's "There's a bunch of crazies who are going to go medieval on you, who needs the trouble?". That's not the fault of the kid toons, it's the fault of the crazies.

Desmond's logic is flawed, because the crazies will always find something to whine about. If it's not child avatars, it'll be any one of a hundred other things that they feel compelled to let everyone knows offends them.

If you want to ban things because someone might be offended by them, just turn off the adult content now.

Well I do not see that being offended by the depiction of a unaccompanied child in an area in Adult Zindra that has escort lounges, adult stores and sex slave castles makes me a reactionary. Most unsavory situations could be completely avoided if Linden Lab would ban child avatars from Adult Zindra. Or if the child avatar community would choose not to enter such areas. Unfortunately we haven't seen any move in this direction from either party as of yet.

Imnotgoing said she is ALLOWED TO set up residency 32 meters from a Brothel. That does not sound banned to me.

The area that you were complaining about had:

Zero escort lounges.
Zero adult stores.
Zero sex slave castles.
