Well, I know that Kara, like myself, spends most of her time in mixed use sims. In mine, I happen to own all that land, and plan to simply move all of it, including the stores that I let my friends use for free, to my new adult continent sim (provided of course that Linden Labs sees fit to let me move all my land). But in other mixed use sims, the parcels may NOT be owned all by the same person, but may still want to be placed together, either because they are a collaborative effort, or because the businesses are symbiotic. These people will ALSO be effected by the Adult Content exodus, and should be taken into consideration. This was one of the points discussed at yesterdays Discussion group.

Maybe the better question is when will Linden Labs elaborate on this whole plan.

Ok if i remember right the whole purpose of this proposal was to prevent people from randomly walking into thing they may find objectionable. So what you are saying is don't put potentially offensive things in the ad. So ResidentX goes to see a cuddly stuffed bear. They wonder around the shop and find the sex animation room, which wasnt on the advertisement. They get offeneded and file an report. Who loses in this scenario?

Hmmm please explain how this works to keep people from randomly finding thierself in "adult" situations. Maybe i've not been getting enough sleep but this seems contradictory.

We are aware of that issue.



What would you consider to be adult? I propose when a theme is built around content that is overtly sexual or violent in nature it crosses a line between mature and adult. What do you think?



Sounds good to me.

I assume Blondie is in San Fran, and there are 4 in their own city in downtown mainstreets lol

People neighboring anyone who has to move will have friendships built over time, joint builds, cooperative terraforming, and so on. Just randomly take people out and the holes will become yet another problem!

For an example, say you have a river between two plots and a bridge over that river. Take out one side of the river and the whole is pretty pointless.

Stringfellow's, Upper Saint Martin's Lane in the heart of London. Founded by Peter Stringfellow in the 1960s, it is a landmark and cultural icon.

Joint builds are those where multiple landowners work together each building their parcel as part of a common themed area.

its not what we concider adult we have shared our ideas of what is adult over and over what does Linden Labs concider adult?
Strip clubs that you can find on Main St that Several of us already pointed out?

Then to further complicate things, I spend a lot of my time as a child avatar. If you think you have a bad PR problem now wait until sky news starts to see child avatars on the adult continent because some of their friends got moved there ...

what is wrong with this idea?

I would venture to guess that any thing advertising the act of Sex, the act of war, and any and all acts of dismemberment; that are for random people, strangers and visitors to the sim; to partake in whether for pay or not, should be classified as adult.
Leaving Strip clubs, as they are you can find them on any corner in most towns big or small,
Most combat sims should be PG and Mature also, just like your typical karate studio or Loony tunes cartoon wit the Coyote and road runner blasting each other with Acme weapons; found in every town big or small.

Moreover, all uses of any words should be left PG and Mature, because frankly you can find any combinations of all words in your nearest public library.

Denver Colorado, strip club called Diamond Cabaret and Steak house, 4 blocks from city hall and 2 blocks from the police station. Colfax avenue the main artery into the city center. Well you asked.

Also thought I should mention besides that there are at least 5 "Adult" video entertainment stores on the same route within the same area.

Start with those that hold the biggest plots choose first and work down the list. try to keep those with water frontage etc. on the mainland get a fair exchange.

Stop anyone selling the new land except back to LL for maybe the first 2/3 months (that way flippers won't get a foothold to start with)

Do not charge any extra tier if we go over tier in the land swap.

Invite the adult land holders you are going to move to come and visit and reserve their plots and allow a certain time before opening the new land for people to build their land up first as in buildings landscaping etc.

Allow the moved folks to leave LM givers at the old plots for a period while the transition happens

Do not levy any extra charges on the land holder during the move.

Most importantly give us enough notice of the move.

just a couple of things to the list, i will probably think of more

wouoldnt surprise me if Child avis are next to be banned after all you cant take pics of them in any form with an adult avi not even in a normal loving family enviorment

And this is where I disagree with this entire premise, Blondin. Overt sexuality is pretty universal, first of all. Fashion in and of itself is overtly sexual. All of us no longer looking like Ruth is overtly sexual. We are a race of overtly sexual human beings, no matter how you look at it. Mature IS adult already...the very words themselves are synonyms. My build is overtly sexual. HOWEVER, the sheer number of things you COULD do there is heavily outweighed by the things people DO do there. They talk. They dance. They Socialize. Sometimes they cage up their pet for display. Sometimes NEW players (almost exclusively) use the various sex pose balls. NEW players won't be verified. And THAT is what the average player goes looking for in his or her first few days in SL. Maybe not the big companies, who are only contributing to the Linden Labs coffers (how many of those employees goes home and plays SL after a hard day of playing SL?).
