' Adult ' checkbox is greyed out in search?

?

Preferences --> General --> Rating: I want to access content rated "PG, Mature and Adult".

Also you need to have payment info filed (or you must have given away personal information for ebil american company).

Thank you, much appreciated

same here and i have payment info added

What I am finding is whenever I log back into SL with the new viewer it resets the preferences. So i have to go back to preferences every time i log in, mark the box in general saying to look up PG, Mature, Adult content and then everything will ok in search. This is a pain since its a preference and it should be rememeber for every time as in the past releases. And yes my age verification has been identified and accepted along with payment on file. So that is no issue.

I think they reverted the latest RC download because of problems with it, didn't they?

If so, that means there's no real purpose to using the version that was removed, unless you particularly want to experience the problems it has.

omg ... hi guys

im have done a age verifikation since a year ....

But i still cant choose in the Preferences --> General --> Rating: I want to access content rated "PG, Mature and Adult".

For me the Client show only PG or PG and Mature -.-


Anyone the same Problem .... it will be important for me to be able to search for this contents .

I find that a little obscure and pretty gross violation of good UI design style. Why this triple security? If one has verified their age they should be granted the option to search for adult content right away. After all, the "Adult" check box is still unchecked by default, so there is no way of accidentally including Adult content in search results.

I'd strongly suggest to just remove this option from the the preferences panel.

Additionally it might be worth considering that people won't be shown the Adult and Mature check boxes at all if they're not eligible to it.This way you don't rub the fact that you're hiding away a good portion of SL to minors. All it takes is daddy's drivers licence to get adult verification on one account.

That would be a terrible idea.
At least they would have a vague idea that such content is out there. I don't think I need to remind anyone how popular adult content is, and how it pumps new users into SL's base. This alone is going to hurt the population (imo) and the whole experience of SL to new users, let's not completely kill it off.



I'm getting confused, reading this thread it seems you also need payment info to acsess them, or is this not correct?

Anyway back on topic...
These settings resetting in the release client. I hope this is just an unintended feature, it's going to be such a pain if this is going to be implemented on the full release. It's not LL's job to secure content from prying eyes in a household. If the user has unchecked this box, let it be their responsibility to remember that it's open to adult content.
Making it a repetitive process is just going to annoy users.

the funny think is i can search Adult contentven i have not this opinion in my perferences dont know why this is missing .. LL has deleted my ticket for this looks like this a generell problem ...

When i search for the word "Hooker" i get a list of all adult place in my searchlist, but when i use words like bdsm, slut or anyother not .... its really funny cause the most escort are also called Hooker

Other strange thing is in the past when i look to my age verification there was the message, i m still verified, but today i could do the verification again 0.o but no change after succesfull verrification adult is still unabled for me *angry*

What usage case would making adult content searches default benefit from? I think it's right as it is, and is congruent with user expectations from anybody who has ever used Google (safesearch is on by default).

Some of you people have obviously not been following the discussion regarding LL's plans for adult content over the last seven weeks or so. The account verification and the check boxes in the viewer are only part of it.

In summary, LL plans to:

1. Establish a new category of content. Instead of PG/Mature, it will be PG/Mature/Adult.
2. Definitions of the new categories have not been finalized. The drafts published so far by LL give the impression that PG will be more restrictive than the present PG, Mature will be very little better, and Adult will be "everything else".
3. Mainland businesses that advertise adult content will have to relocate to a new mainland continent. There will be an initial free meter for meter land swap for those businesses who submit a ticket to move AND are approved to move by LL. Everyone else must eiter stop selling adult content, move to an adult-flagged private estate, or buy adult land on the new continent.
4. Private estates will have to flag regions containing adult content at the region level. Supposedly, "private residences" containing adult content are not affected by all this, only businesses.
5. Search will be filtered by a list of adult keywords. LL has not published the list, but user tests indicate that "bosoms", "Gor", "yiff", "sex", "escort", "tits", "BDSM", and a number of other words with both sexual and nonsexual connotations are on the list.
6. To access adult content, users will have to: a) agree at registration that they are over 18, just as now; b) have payment info on file OR c) be age verified through LL's third party contractor, Aristotle.

There are several huge threads in "Further Conversations" about this. There are JIRA issues with over 2,000 votes requesting the policy not be implemented. Apparently, LL is going ahead anyway.

Probably because the JIRA is not the place to discuss business decisions, the forum and contacting the Lab's business offices directly are. It's not like they don't post a mailing address and an office phone number (http://lindenlab.com/contact/directions). The front page of the JIRA even says not to report things that require tayloring to your situation. Dumping on the JIRA is merely a great way to make it difficult for your fellow residents working on debugging the viewer to find relevant bugs.

Over 2000 votes is not exactly tayloring to your situation.

2000 out of how many active residents again? Something that affects 0.2% of the population isn't statistically relevant. Nor does it change the fact that the JIRA is meant for technical issues only, something also made clear on the front page.

A large change in the search parameters is not a technical issue?

That's not what you were talking about: Reread the thread.

The "Rating" selection in Preferences/General now seems to work in RC 1.23.1 - it did for me, anyway.

If you go down that road then no Jira vote is ever relevant, most Jira votes get nowhere near the number of votes this has.

If the Jira is meant for technical issues only, why is there a new feature request option?
