From: Kyle Steig Well, FINALLY, a useful suggestion! Fix broken search and enforce the mature flag. I wish some of us had thought of that! Oh, wait, we have,repeatedly.
Let me be clear:
- I have NO problem with enforcing the 'Mature' parcel flag for the purposes of making search more effective as a content filter.
- I have no problem starting a balanced process to move PG and Mature sims geographically apart in an equitable way. Balanced means no cost to any parcel holder. One for One land swap and if there are 6 Mature sims and a PG, move the PG or vice versa for any given area.
- I have no problem with requiring a 'double opt-in' (confirmed to the email of the account holder) for people to see Mature content.
I want me and everything I have ever made to be hidden from those who have not opted in. I want this to be an option for accounts to flag themselves as 'mature'.
- Kyle There has been several useful suggestions including alot of my own in this forum as well as the one from the Vorehound back when about 50 pages ago(?) You just need to actually go through the ENTIRE thread to find them between all the shouting, pissing matches and mob mentality to find the gold nuggets in this mess. |

You asked for solutions
03-29-2009 00:07
From: Kator Bergson
So lets bring out the solutions and no more heresay or assumptions on whats what.
Solution is easy enough and thousand times said by thousand intelligent brains. No self-hypnotic fantasy-ratings. No censorship. No bigot moral. No dumb biz tricks. Anything goes from 18+ on. Because in all modern cosmopolitan metropoles anything goes from 18+ on. I point again on any bigger cities/capital cities in Europe, where anything goes from 18+ on and any possible and available human developements are placed and reachable on one spot (per each metropole) of the planet. No segragation! Few examples: Amsterdam, Hamburg, Frankfurt, Paris, Moscow, Madrid, Lissabon, Rome. 18+ is the key wich works everywhere and we do not need an US fantasy-rating system like PG, M, A. because any individual is all in one by nature and by age from 18+ on. This is common in the modern parts of the world and their constitutions and even not contered by the human rights resolution from 1948 (UNO). LL should stop to try undermine this worldwide common sense with private fake-moralism for whatever biz reasons. 1 media example: anything goes from 18+ on in internet. Even there are no other ratings and no segragations for logical reasons. All who want to live more exclusive, like in a noble village in near of bigger cities, no matter if it's biz, edu, relax: for them are the islands the solution. There they can hide themselfs and avoid to stumble over things. Even this is normal in real life. I grew up in a salami-tactic-free and in this meaning rating-free part of the world in western Europe and I have no other solutions than the simple and easy 18+ key wich works perfect where I live. 18+ as one and only line, and all is good for me and much others and I bet: the majority. |

From: Bambi Newall I don't see what is the real problem LL tried to fix in the first place?
In fact, the opposite is true. If you ever fly across mainland, you will run into all these red fence ban lines, you will get ejected by these offensive orbs. Mainland is so restrictive already that totally ruined the experience of enjoyment in SL if you ever wanted to explore.
If there is anything to be fixed, I would suggest removing the ability to eject innocent people who happened to go from point A to point B, and the path happened to be in your way. That is offensive, and uncalled for, when you are doing no harm to anyone except to fly by on your way to wherever.
That is a real solution that will improve the experience in SL for our enjoyment as a community. Putting up these walls are counter-productive.
Even if LL had its wish and send all those adult businesses to hell, your mom and dad and those corporate sponsors will still run into all these security orbs and ban lines that make you schizo whenever you try to fly through any area for fear of the electric shock of orb. Well the solution to that is to have zoning. Like in cities. In cities you can build up high constructions into the sky, but in suburbs you can't build much higher than 3 stories. In mainland there could be restrictions on how high you can build or where you have to put your skyboxes.. ..but then again. If suddenly LL brought in rules saying 'Everyone has to move their skyboxes down', and forcefully moved half the population of SL.. wouldn't that be rather like the problem we have now? I think the problem is, Second Life in itself was soooo unbelieveable poorly thought out since it's conception, that it would have to be completely pulled apart and put back together again to fix. Right down to every single element. Each and every feature of the system would need to be reworked and corrected. And each day that SL continues, the process of doing so, becomes somewhat like moving a tree. The roots get deeper, and the pain/resistance of uprooting the tree gets larger. Had LL given say... 12.. 18months more time into thinking about, planning, designing SL, at the time of it's creation, they could of easily prevented this all right from the beginning.

From: Bambi Newall Well, she had no info on file, so how do we know (1) she is a boy or girl (2) s/he is not an under-age minor imposing as adult?
That is why LL needs to age verify, and identify verify her/him. I'm afraid that's completely irrelevant Bambi - (1) age verification will not reveal the sex of a resident and (b) the verification process will only apply to those wanting to visit the newly-defined 'adult' locations, which apparently none of these avatars/alts is interested in doing anyway. |

From: Kator Bergson Oh snap... lookie what I just found... http://www.allbusiness.com/retail-trade/miscellaneous-retail-retail-stores-not/4654456-1.htmlExcerpt from the site, The court reasoned that while the state should protect minors from such material, it is impossible to do so without violating the constitutional rights of adults."In an attempt to deny minors access to potentially harmful speech, [the law] will effectively suppress a large amount of speech that adults have a constitutional right to receive," Judge James R. Spencer wrote. This could very well be applied to this situation that LL should protect people from seeing what they don't want to see however that violates the rights of everybody else who does want to see it in a open enviroment. The ball is in your court LL. lets see what you do with it. Oh yeah, allow me another quote Elliot M. Mincberg, legal director at People for the American Way, supports the court's take on the matter, STRESSING THAT IT IS THE JOB OF PARENTS—NOT CONGRESS—TO MONITOR INTERNET USE BY CHILDREN. Now the grid is a 18+ area, so technically its our own damn job to monitor our own usage and NOT LL's.... basically another way to look at this, (bear with me on this) The ones in favor of Mature are the Adults, the ones in favor of PG are adults, yet LL looks at us like we are all children and they feel the need to strip our rights away. Well LL your located in America, therefore bound by the Constitution of the USA. Not Germany or the UK or Asia as they are well off themselves to block content they don't feel is proper for their respective populace. However because LL is located in America it is bound by those laws and by causing this move you are effectively negating our rights to said freedoms by pushing us all into a dark corner hopefully forgotten. America is not the police of the world (as they would like to think they are though >.<  And Nither are you LL. Abide by the laws in the country you reside. the rest can deal with it on their own terms. Qouting because it deserves to be read. |

18+ as one and only line, and all is good for me and much others and I bet: the majority. And as such I belive that LL should put a label up on thier website that specifically states Holy hell, that image looked so much smaller when it was in the edit box.... Admittance restricted to persons 18 years of age and over. Content not suitable for minors. May contain: frequent use of sexual activity, brutal/graphic violence, intense horror and/or other disturbing content. (Canada) No, wait I got better and I will be coming out with it shortly. Here, I just fixed LL's problem... From: someone <link rel="meta" href="http://www.secondlife.com/labels.rdf" type="application/rdf+xml" title="ICRA labels" />
<meta http-equiv="pics-Label" content='(pics-1.1 "http://www.icra.org/pics/vocabularyv03/" l gen true for "http://secondlife.com" r (n 2 s 2 v 3 l 2 oa 1 ob 1 oc 1 od 1 oe 2 of 1 og 1 oh 1 c 2) gen true for "http://www.secondlife.com" r (n 2 s 2 v 3 l 2 oa 1 ob 1 oc 1 od 1 oe 2 of 1 og 1 oh 1 c 2))' /> All they gotta do is put that on thier main page and download page and they are golden, no move required as EVERYBODY IS INFORMED ON WHAT GOES ON INSIDE SL. |

Intolerant people should stay out of SL...
The probleme with all those who talk for a so said comunity is that they use a culture, religion, and so on , only to give point and arguments to their own feelings.
It can be really dangerous.
Because what is next is censorship about everything, including our SL name :
look at mine : Born To Obey ...
because, according to the troll ideas, i should'nt wear native american clothes, it's degrading.
but i should'nt wear also black people clothes and skin (i don't, but that's my choice)
I should'nt use india clothes, remember english occupation ,Nor chineese clothes, and of course not arabic clothes due to what is done to women in some countries.
even white ordinary clothes can be degrading, and anyway some women can always complain because i shouln't be a women with such a name, ..
so I should be parked in a reserve, outside of the world, or may be terminated without mercy ?
Remember, that's a virtual world !
In the real world, some people say and try to impose that sex must not be done except to give birth to children, and i have lived some time in a country where even viewing or picturing a woman face was prohibited. I fight against that, in RL.
Let all thoses bullsh.t outside of SL , please.......
the adult rules existing now are good, and almost everyone respect them . Don't change anything...

BINGO! If LL would create the new continent and then entice people to move there, by say, having adult oriented festivals there. Gay pride days, Fetish balls, Pagan festivals (sorry yes I know not all Pagan festivals involve skyclad), adult entertainment awards, reproductions of Roman brothels, basically LL sponsored versions of all the stuff that they want to move there anyway, make the place a 'must see' land for people who want cartoon sex. Then set back and watch the honey attract the flies. Rather than seeing every change as something they have to force down our throats, why not create a benefit for moving to New Perv City. How did Birmingham Alabama get Mercedes Benz to open a plant there? I mean com'on Birmingham??? They did it by making themselves attractive to Mercedes that's how. Make this place attractive to adult entertainment LL and you won't have to worry about shoving people there kicking and screaming. (Hint, limiting access to less than 50% of our current user base from the start isn't an attractive enticement.) Patasha. |

03-29-2009 00:31
From: Selene Gregoire LL is NOT, I repeat, NOT removing the adult content from SL. They simply want to move the MOST EXTREME forms, i.e. torture, dismemberment, snuff... the really kinky, twisted stuff... to an area of it's own on the grid. That is the 2 - 4% adult content that has been refered to.
What is so frakking hard to understand about that? Well, there *is* the fact that Blondin has been saying that strip clubs are on the list, as is anything "overtly sexual" As in, if the purpose of a parcel is "overtly sexual" it is the sort of thing which will have to move. Strip clubs and escorts are most certainly *not* "extreme"- or at least, not in the same category as snuff. -V- |

Sorry to say it
03-29-2009 00:34
From: Selene Gregoire I've read his posts and no where did I see him say a strip club was EXTREME adult content. Adult content yes but not EXTREME adult content.
HEAVY EMPHASIS ON THE WORD **EXTREME** Selene, Blondin asked at one point, "But how does that accomplish the stated goal of removing adult content from the mainland"? or somesuch. Heavy emphasis on the missing reference to "extreme" -V- |

For the people who don't understand what the code I posted is for lemme give yah a rundown.
It states that the site contains the following,
Exposed breasts, Bare buttocks, Visible genitals, Passionate kissing, Obscured or implied sexual acts, Visible sexual touching, Explicit sexual language, Erections/explicit sexual acts, Erotica, Assault/rape, Injury to fantasy characters (including animation), Blood and dismemberment, fantasy characters (including animation), Torture or killing of fantasy characters (including animation), Abusive or vulgar terms, Profanity or swearing, Mild expletives, Depiction of tobacco use, Depiction of alcohol use, Depiction of drug use, Depiction of the use of weapons, Content that creates feelings of fear, intimidation, horror, or psychological terror, Incitement or depiction of discrimination or harm against any individual or group based on gender, sexual orientation, ethnic, religious or national identity(yes this exists in sl too...), User-generated content such as chat rooms and message boards (moderated), User-generated content such as chat rooms and message boards (unmoderated), and as for Context,
This material appears in an artistic/educational/medical/sports/news context.

From: Wynochee LeShelle 18+ as one and only line, and all is good for me and much others and I bet: the majority. I have to respectfully disagree. The problem is, the activities within SL are so diverse, that we DO need some method of broadly categorizing it. The PG and M ratings fit that bill well because, the fact of the matter is, many adults do not want to have to be exposed to potentially offensive material if they do not want to. Nany's point thereof is legitimate, even if her approach is anything but. In a perfect SL, the ratings should give the user some indication of what to expect when teleporting to a given location. That it doesn't today is due to two factors: One being the intermixing of PG and M parcels in mainland that has gone unchecked for far too long; and the other is lack of enforcement on LL's part. Instituting NEW policies that require even MORE non-existent enforcement isn't the answer. Tightening up enforcement of EXISTING policies and cleaning up the mess caused by the lack of enforcement to date are the best solutions. Many of us have already suggested the best way to do the latter: To start, enforce the M flag in the search engine and remove all mature material from search that do not have the M flag set. Then, to complete the cleanup, open a PG continent in tandem with the adult continent. Keep them geographically separated, and then allow all existing mainlanders the OPTION to migrate to one or the other, free of charge. As existing parcels and sims empty, simply mark them as "protected" so no one can buy them. Slowly but surely these sims can be taken offline and repurposed, adding them to each of the new continents. |

*cackles wickedly* Happily, I did so for another on this forum not so long ago actually. If you like, I can answer the questions here for everyone to hear?... although probably too offtopic.. might make a thread for it, for anyone who has questions about it. Since that's what the forum is for anyway (right?). But yes, would love to meet up with ya. You can let me know if you reached the bathroom intime. (Hope yes? If not, what was your solution?)

But no, unfortunately I'm pretty sure that something like that in any explanation would be seen as offensive in some aspect to either LL or some random user that is hot on the report button so I figured that any information I get from you I would post on my own site, link to it and do it that way. At least its my site and my rules and I'll say whatever I wanna say. http://ex0dus.nia-inc.netWarning, strong adult content, themes and language. |

"Boiling the frog," revisited
03-29-2009 01:00
From: Ciaran Laval Ok can I make a plea here, can someone from LL please post a sticky confirming that PIOF age verifies people. Oh crap. I'd forgotten that they could decide to backtrack on that. How difficult they make the verification process is another means of controlling the size of the Affected Class, in addition to tailoring the definition of "Adult." That is, the more difficult it is to verify, the more willing folks will be to make their stuff kid-safe to avoid being sent to verified-only territory. That approximately 4% number is a pretty safe target for slaughter. As we've seen in this thread, if the number of affected individuals is kept low enough, the rest will go along with it because they're not affected, and those in the "worst 4%" are just disgusting freaks anyway. So the freaks get sent off to Cyberia, and to certain commercial death (because it's too hard to age-verify and anyway only 4% of the world cares what happens to them). But, funny thing about percentages: after 4% are gone, there's always another "worst 4%" of those who remain. And that 4% will be disgusting freaks, too, in the eyes of 96% of those who remain.* This can continue indefinitely. It would be quite a clever bit of social engineering, in fact. Diabolically, insidiously ingenious, even. One would have expected as much from the loathsome (luckily deposed) Daniel and his "Broadly Offensive" crusade. But the more things change... _______ *No, I'm not trying to temp anybody to quote Niemöller yet again. |

03-29-2009 01:00
From: Katheryne Helendale Interesting point. I was in a busy shopping area recently, and I had CTRL-ALT-T enabled. You'd be quite amazed at what people have attached, even in "invisible mode". I'm pretty certain that if I went to an infohub and enabled CTRL-ALT-T there, I'd get quite an eyeful! How will the new rules address this? Will males be required to completely (excuse the pun) dismember themselves before tp'ing to a PG or mature sim? But dismemberment is *extreme*! Off to pornotopia with them! -V- |
