Upcoming Changes for Adult Content: Answers to Questions

Perhaps you will see the question this time 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 mentions adult content or conduct that is promoted or advertised publicly...

People have a right to be given an answer 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.

Your childish desire to ignore the question has led to this 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.

I will be calling next 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.

And if that doesn't get me an answer, I'll be coming 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.

Darien, the answer is your stuff is fine to sell, you're just not allowed to advertise it. If you do you need to make your sim adult.
hth

One of the brown bags said a genitalia item makes the store adult, so what items do you have? Anything to do with genitalia?

Darien - please slow down.

Do you have any information on what the enforcement mechanism will be on PG land?

I think this concerns many people for two reason;

1) The rules for PG land have really not been enforced in the two years I have been on Second Life. I have about a half sim spread over two PG sims, and I think I'm the only one on either sim that would be considered PG, and one neighbor without a doubt will have to be moved to adult (you might even consider giving them their own continent, haha)

2) One of the attempts in the past of "de'sexing" PG land, resulted in basically crippling nearly all poses, animations and scripts on PG land, no matter how PG in nature they were. This is really the big concern, that The Lab will use this technology again.

I apologize is this is slightly off topic, but since it has been brought up in the last run of clarifications and since nobody is offering any free land swaps for PG landholders, you might want to give us a blueprint of your intentions.

Is an animated furniture store that does not allow nudity considered adult? It sounds like it's time for specific answers.

I've said before that 90 days would be decent for people actually running businesses.

Can i put in a plea for people like me who are *not* running businesses? Please help. I don't want to be stuck in pg/mature land after this move. Ordinary people like me who are just here to play the game need some advice.

All we read about in this blog is how extreme certain things are: like beheadings and extreme other stuff. I don't have beheadings or other really extreme stuff in my house. And it's like therefore everyone is saying "oh fine darling you are just sweet then -- stay where you are in mature land and don't worry your pretty little head".

This is making me very. I don't want to live in pg/mature land any more. I want to move to the adult content land, have my nice home with it's not very (but just slightly) adult stuff in it and have neighbors who do stuff. I want a guarantee that i can get help moving even though i haven't ticked the "I'm extreme adult content" button.

Presumably there is a long queue of professional people out there waiting to buy my land in the mature section otherwise why would LL bother doing this.

blondin will you PLEASE answer this without giving me some kind of crap like "it's region not parcel" and let me know what i can do to not loose a bunch of money in this move just because i bought on an estate rather than mainland?

this is absurd... i do not advertize my land, and there is no way anyone, even me.. without my landmark, can even get to my skybox "i just cant seem to find it a billion miles up, i do not know if my land owner will flag adult, and i stand to loose everything i paid for it, as well as every dollar i spent in SL (I am premium and i might have renewed, nah, i'm not renewing my year subscription, not even doing it monthly if it runs up) all the clothes, all the money i pumped into SL sence i began will have been a total waste. So please, give me an answer "is my land still private?" does it now belong to residence that didn't pay for it? it belongs to anyone that can TP in randomly?

My university still will not likely join SL, even with this new "porn ghetto", as long as a quick click into the XStreet Marketplace, without "mature content" enabled, produces a "featured" item such as "Filou sunny PROMO".

LL has once again made a bad decision that will bite them in the behind.

IMHO, and I'm not about to start debating gun v. weed legislation and I don't want to start a huge thing but there are two things to keep in mind no matter how much we agree or disagree:

Even though we all know differently, head shops sell pipes for 'tobacco' use b/c marijuana is illegal here in the US. Illicit drug use is illegal.

On the other hand, you can walk into a gun shop in RL, ask for and purchase a gun (with a proper license of course). Guns are legal.

just to make sure they never come anywhere near SL, show them this:

Sometimes you can get more satisfaction (both figuratively and literally) dealing with the "owners" in-person.

Yes, exactly, but it does not mention what is exempt. The list of what content is adult type stuff dose include stuff that will be on private use land.

On the other hand, as this is an international community, there are many places where guns are illegal, and also some places where marijuana is legal.

And more importantly in SL, neither guns nor marijuana are real - I can't see anyone being arrested for illegal possession of a virtual gun or virtual marijuana.

There was a press release that went out as well.

Self praise is no recommendation i have been told and who here has wasted money on that book its not exactly best seller material lol



So then why post here if it is in your opinion, a waste of time? Just wondering.



Well thank you for gracing us with your exalted prescience and words which i am sure us mere mortals will all hang on to.



Well its good to see LL treats us all the same, irrespective of how we percieve ourselves in the grand scheme of things.



Lifes a bitch but its good to see we are at least all being treated equally in this matter Thanks for taking the time to add to this verbal diarrhea

Guns are illegal in Japan.

Everything that is not "adult content or conduct" and not "promoted or advertised publicly".

LL will have a special unit, like the SS in nazi germany, that will come round and periodically inspect everything. This is the only way questions such as yours can ever be answered. In my imagination: there will be special segregated sections: like there will be a special beheadings section where people will have to go if they have ever played one of those nasty games that involves simulated beheading. And gay men will have to go to a special gay section where everyone is required to have a male avi. Eventually there will be special male sections for all people, like male professionals and educators who want a more male society. As time goes by, so long as LL continue to make money, more rules will be introduced.

Alternatively maybe SL is dead already.

And EVERYONE reads Press releases right?
