Upcoming Changes for Adult Content: Answers to Questions

Well i guess yes: arguably a photograph is evidence that a real event took place whereas a pixie cartoon could just be someone's imagination (or it might be their drawing of an actual event). To that extent i agree with you. I doubt it's very easy to draw a simple line between those two scenarios. And confusion over where to draw that line will only get worse as technology advances. So why bother trying?

How will those evaluations go? After a resident is AR'd and suspended, or will residents be given a break for these edge cases after the AC policy is instated and details like this are being worked out?

If I lived in SF, I would have been in the lobby raising hell months ago.

It wouldn't have been the first time, either.

Have you inspected the "Unlucky Chairs" yet? Are they "Adult Content"?

We are not being given the list of naughty words thats a fact as of time of posting LL have said this, will that change and they decide to give them to us i doubt it as it has been said several times by LL

I thought they went to the Netherlands first.

And I am listening to this Meeting recording, and it's the most painful thing ever. Ken has a cold but that's not even what makes it painful. It's the slow, careful, deliberate choosing of words to not actually say anything meaningful that is painful. I was hoping I could catch a clue here and 30 minutes into it, nothing so far.

Technically, he's not saying they need to move to Ursula, just that it needs to be flagged as adult. You are, however, correct that Blondin is contradicting prior statements that PRIVATE RESIDENCES would not be considered Adult Content.

Because when you use a word in a policy, it has to be used in the broadest and most widely-accepted way so that its effectiveness to communicate what you mean is at its highest.

Using "photorealistic" to describe "RL pornography photographs" is incorrect.

That's the only distinction I was making.

I'm sorry Blondin, but if you're going to continue to compare SL and RL in your definitions, what part of *gunfights* do you not consider to be 'extreme violence'?

Hypocrite.


*I* Am Adult Content (just so you don't think I'm supporting any of this policy)

Guaranteed?
Nothing in RL or SL is ever guaranteed.
The world is in economic recession. This means people have less money to spend than they did before.
Personally, if these changes would cost me any more money than I'm already paying, then I could no longer justify the expense of SL. I'm at my limit now.

I can't imagine I'm the only one in this position, so I would have thought that a lot of people will be down-tiering and/or closing accounts rather than pay more.

But I'm sure the financial and business analysts who advise LL wil have anticipated that. Just like their peers anticipated the current crisis in the rl.

Oh, but then again, we're not in a depression because some idiots messed up the economy, we're "working together in this challenging time".

I must be under the same rock as i have never heard of her? who is she?

It's always very tempting, but it's a huge waste of my time to drive over there just to resolve something which should be able to be done with an email or forum post.

1) We are re-evaluating the 9 days originally stated.
2) The window for individual moves will be just that - individual.

Hang on this is crazy: are we seriously being asked to believe that LL will police this by inspecting everything?
a) that is impossible
b) the nazis tried that in the twentieth century, haven't we moved on yet?

No, LL won't police this. Either they will fudge it or the game will shut down.

Except that the new official info outside of this thread does not mention private use land at all one way or the other.

it's a glaring omission

Technically, yes, but only Linden Labs (the Estate Owner) can designate an existing region as Adult and they're not going to. The parcel owner on the mainland doesn't own the region his parcel is on, even if the parcel is 64k square meters.

The part that happens in Disneyland.

Are you delusional or do you think LL owes you specifically some special favors and do we really care who you are? In LL eyes you are no better than any one of us, so get used to it lol

Especially when you start your post

Do you really think they are going to move everyone that requires moving prior to an open auction? There is still SOOO much ambiguity and inconsistency with regards to the actual definition that my guess is most of the people will be left wondering whether they should apply to move or not. They are stating that only those who apply to move will be moved but what percentage of those who "need" to move based on these loosely defined definitions will actually apply?

I suspect they will start showing up at the doors of these mainland businesses saying you need to move - but the new Adult Mainland is full. Most of these sims will be sold.

I believe it is LL's responsibility to notify EVERY SINGLE merchant or resident on the mainland that they specifically have to move BEFORE they open the adult land up for sale.

PLEASE PLEASE Blondin Linden tell me this will be the approach? Selling new adult mainland before every one of us has been told based on LL's analysis that we need to move would be a horrible thing.

Blondin Linden: Please answer this question. Would a business on a private estate that sells BDSM gear but has no nudity, no sexually explicit content, no poseballs, is not an orgy room or a sex room, is just a store, be considered Mature or Adult?

Please give an answer.

It would be to simple, wouldn't it, to give every parcel owner on each mainland region a vote to decide what rating their region should have.

That would be democracy. SL is an autocracy. So much energy goes into giving the appearance of consultation and residents' choice, but it's nothing but a sham.
