Upcoming Changes for Adult Content: Answers to Questions

You didn't get kicked out of the Netherlands yet?

They have been letting you do that for the past two years.

Geez, what are you doing with a club on a homestead sim anyway? Don't you know it cuts your possible attendance in half? Not to mention performance issues.

Yes



Yes



Depends on what attachments he has



I don't see why not.



I'm not sure I get the questions? Are the basic skins accessible in PG areas? Yes



If the beach or pool one is attending on a PG region, then it would be expected for male avatars to be shirtless. Female nipples should not be displayed on PG but would be acceptable on Mature.



Its a famous work of art. I can see it living on a PG or M region.



Yes



Yes



To be safe, weapons should stay on Mature land



Combat will be allowed on Mature or adult regions.



I don't know about PG, that seems like it would be up to whoever owns the land. But damage will not be permanently disabled from mature regions.



You can decorate your region for the holidays but keep in mind that certain content would be better suited for a Mature than a PG region.



For religious purposes? Sure, a crucifix can be on either a PG or Mature region. If you want to show your partner BEING crucified, then that should be found on Adult land.



Yes, a performance of The Passion would be fine outside of an adult region.




Yes. A performance of a Shakespeare play can be on either regions

Those screen shots would still be sexualized depictions would they not?

Frankly I don't care that M. Linden has a photo gallery of his adventures in secondlife, Replace that little bit on the logging in screen announcing this change.

We can't provide a list. I'm sorry about that. But you won't have to guess. If you use a word that has been flagged, a message will pop up and notify you of the word.

Yes. After all, they are from California. San Francisco. That should explain a lot

Maybe the Governator plays SL.

Depends on how you define "sexualized depictions", would it not?

If Michaelangelo's "David" displaying bits is considered "art", why would a product image of the normal state of a product be "more adult"?

Not yet i think they will let me stay a bit longer as long as i behave myself

No more so than nude art or a screenshot of a skin..

Cool! So, given 24 hours and a decent "urban dictionary" "attack", we can get the list ourselves?

Awesome!

Hey, watch those hands, Buddy!

Private Regions with Adult content will still have to flag themselves as Adult.
Private homes on the mainland won't have to change anything

I am very disappointed that we, the residents, are losing the freedom to zone on our own. Estates/regions should be encouraged to form home-owner associations, but this Big Brother morals policing is only going to result in AR harassment. I love sl and this development is very troublesome to me.

if alts are tied to an account will the account verification status of the primary be cascaded to the npoif/non verified alts tied to the account or will all accounts still have to age/account verify separately?

I know its a rough draft, however even as a draft or an overview its very very far from making it even remotely clear and it may be a bit too earlyto comment on it yet but I will do it anyways as its an extremely important play on words.
According to the post, adult regions are :
"Regions that host conduct or display content that is sexually explicit or intensely violent, or depicts illicit drug use"

Going by standard definition 'sexually explicit' means NOT implied or suggestive but as "having sexual acts or nudity clearly depicted in images or openly visible text describing genital contact"

Meaning how do you draw the line where sexual content is NOT explicit but implied? I see this being mentioned as well

"A Region may be designated PG so long as it does not advertise or make available any content that is suggestive of any (even mildly) sexual or violent themes, or references to social drug or alcohol usage. "

Be advised "Suggestive" or "mildly Suggestive" doesnt make the content explicit. Yes there are suggestive or implied Sex scenes in PG movies which get away with a PG rating because "Sex" is a PG word and there is sex education for teens for crying out loud.

What I want to convey here is that it should be made very , very clear on what classifies as an Adult or Mature content in a play on words.
If 2 residents engage in sexual acts involving "nudity" that is openly visible it should and MUST be classified as Adult I agree but..

how do you classify "Animation stores" that strictly sell animations and regulate no nudity policy have no nude images in their store, no cuss words or explicit words describing genital contact as adult based on your definition?
Its not a rant but I speak for every animation designer in SL when I say that its needs to be clearly identified if you make animations that lets 2 avatars engage in sex makes you an explicitly sexual region or not. Because going by definition its not "Explicit"

For example a product made by my company is a Kama Sutra MetaBook, Its an animated book for residents who want to learn about Kama Sutra. The book of kama sutra is classified as art and is available even in PG book stores openly.
It has no explicit nudity, its clothed demonstration but yet it allows 2 avatars to engage and try out the Kama Sutra positions in their privacy. You can see my dilemma here, is it PG or do I mark it as "explicitly sexual content"
It doesnt matter to me either ways as I have both PG and MA sims, I just need to know where I move what that is all..

OK. That one made me laugh out loud.

Uhm, what if a private region is a home (or a few homes) and nothing else? No commerce whatsoever, no clubs, just private homes.

According to a recent previous post from Blondin - sexual animations may be displayed and sold on mature sims.

I am banking on that statement

The Supreme Court took years working on the definition of porn; why are a bunch of programmers assuming they can do this for us? Abort project - its none of your business. Thanks for providing the code and the servers, NOW LEAVE US ALONE.

*Cough*

PARDON ME???

ARE YOU SAYING THAT ALL PRIVATE REGIONS WITH ANY ADULT CONTENT MUST FLAG AS ADULT, EVEN IF 100% RESIDENTIAL AND NOT ADVERTIZED???

What if my "private region" IS my "home"?

Be more specific. Is your land for personal use or do you advertise sexual content on it?

why cant you provide a list?
Its not going to take long for us to work out is it?
just type every "naughty" word we can think of see what gets flagged and spread the words.
but you treat us like children blondin, its to be expected of you.

you know, i have a feeling this thread is going to be closed, you have put much more time in today than any other day.
