Upcoming Changes for Adult Content: Answers to Questions

Even if the landowner owns the whole region?

I expressly stated that I advertised nothing, and yet, owing to sexual content, I was informed that my wholly owned private estate island home is "adult".

To be honest, at the very least I'm borderline, and would much rather be adult to avoid any future hassle.

As already observed, if this is so, the mainland private home sex bed/sex poseball exemption is untenable.

Well, THAT's new. And it should be a real wakeup call to private estate owners. Suddenly your estates just lost a whole lot of value to a whole lot of customers.

Even if the landowner owns the whole region?
Um.

Think that one through, could ya?

What about Private Homes on Private Regions? Are you saying that the only place you can have a personal sexgen bed in your own home or skybox is on an Adult private region or on the mainland?

What about ARTISIC NUDES... RL Photos of Nudes NOT presented in a sexual manner

See, I get to keep my L$200...

No answer to the fly agaric in the soup, umm, fly in the ointment question about performance and comparable loading yet.

There is no answer, no guarantee. They haven't considered these situation. Never invited me to "Brown Bag".

WHAT ABOUT THE BLOODY LAG?

Stone the crows, Blondin, what about that? Rigtht.

Opps i thought that was your arm lol

Female nipples are not mature content. Topless sunbathing is not mature content either.

Thus far, it sounds like every sim that has any home with any sexbed in it or picture of Michelangelo's David will have to be Adult.

You are going to have nothing but Adult sims at this rate.

Quick, put some pants on those cows!

Technically speaking, your lag issue is due to an old worn out computer, yes?
if so, how is that LL problem?
If not, im not sure how they can answer you about the future lag in a sim where it hasnt been decided who will be on that sim with you..

Actually NO... "Adult" In RL is the blatant display of the Female vagina in a non clinical manner or the male erect penis. everything else is considered PG or Mature. I use the difference between a move shown on Cinamax and that same move shown in a XXX movie house... its not about what is perceived.. its about what is actually shown. there is a very clear definition

100% I agree

To Blondin:

It wasn't my question, but this concerns me as well.

If I have a home, on an estate now flagged as 'mature', and:

- it has a full range of BDSM stuff,
- it has a very nice sexgen bed,
- it has pictures depicting sexual acts,
- there is nothing for sale (barring some stuff that is for sale because of jumbled settings by the creator - happens every now and then)
- it is not advertised
- but it is accessible for everyone because I hate banlines and banlists

what does it mean then? It's private, but usable by everyone.

Is it still mature or is it adult?

Field trip to the Xcite store during your office hours today?

Are Lindens still doing surveys of potential adult material in world? Would it be possible for you to announce it here so residents could tag along and get a handle on what's going to fall on which side of the line?

According to the definitions a PG region does not permit "any content that is suggestive of any (even mildly) sexual or violent themes, or references to social drug or alcohol usage"

yet you will find more than just suggestions of violence, sex, alcohol, even rape in Shakespeare!

The real issue is that my current parcel in its current region on it present simulator is just peachy.... that is why I keep paying these people about two-thirds of every cent I earn in world.

Right now I do not offer any adult items at my furniture store - but when I forked out hundreds (actually thousands) of US$ for my mature mainland parcels I was under the impression that I could offer the content I would see fit. That's why I went for mainland and put up with the sometimes unpleasant "side effects" of mainland instead of estate land where I'd have to follow a covenant, I wanted to be sure that I can make changes any time.

Now if I change my mind later on and decide to actually add a more adult themed line to my store I'm left with a huge junk of (probably) wothless mature mainland and I'd have to fork out even more US$ for adult land - seriously, that can't be it...

*** Are there any plans for a parcel exchange for thouse who might need to move at a later point of time if the purchase date of current parcels clearly states you bought the land prior to the announcement of the new policy? ***

Right now I wouldn't qualify for a move, and spending weeks updating landmarks doesn't sound like a fun thing, but not moving clearly restricts any futher business plans that might come up some day.

How about LL renames the new continent to MAYFLOWER in honor of the puritans.. Then people that were unable to handle the rest of SL could be placed in the middle of thousands of square meters of Fully clothed Nuderd fuzzy bunnies and flowers with their reproductive organs removes. And as an added bonus all 12 of them would be issued helmets and arrive on little yellow busses.



Your Punishing the MAJORITY of us for the unsubstantiated and self-admitted minority…

There were threee performance factors described in my original post.



Where this becomes a LL issue is that I will in all likeliehood be ported to a new parcel that is likely to be surrounded by high-load residents against my prersonal preference.

I am fine where I am, and I LIKE it. I can play there.

YOUR OVERSIMPLIFICATION EXEMPLIFIES THE TYPICAL SOPHISTRY OF THE BOURGEOIS CLASS.

I want an answer....

I provide MATURE FANTASY ROLE PLAY performances on an individual or small group basis, and I want to be assured that I can continue to enjoy such play.

I can't maintain sessions in many popular Adult themed sims, nor could I even get to the blasted eggs on the Egg Island thing...

I should not lose my ease of use because of an adverse act of the licensor.

YES: move the business and educational entities, if their sensibilities are the ones being offended. In fact, i would like to have MORE freedom, not less, and I was hoping to propose a notecard system upon entering certain areas: "you are entering a mature sim... if you do not want to see prim naughty bits, you will enjoy these (listed) sims"

I agree, but what I think LL are failing to mention is that is having to follow US law, presumably because its servers are there.
BUT, I think that they're overreacting to that legislation - and they're in this position because they dropped any form of verification on entry to SL (ie: free accounts).
It's the equivalent of a bar or night club in rl USA having to create special secure areas for adults, because the doormen let a whole bunch of minors in through the front door.
Or like a cinema showing an XXX rated film obscuring the screen when anything "naughty" happens, because it sold tickets to kids.
Movies depict (in a "photorealistic" way) lots and lots of activities that are illegal in rl, but they're allowed to because the audience is filtered on entry. Since free accounts were introduced, there's been no such filtering, so LL are having to do it within SL to avoid legal action.
There's no "zoning" within "There" because they have always recognised that all ages are allowed in through the doors.
To my mind, the nature of SL is changing, by the implementation of this AO nonsene, from a game/experience that used to be explicitly for adults, to one which will be zoned artificially way after the event.
I think they should have just stuck an 18 rating (with verification) on the existing SL grid, and then opened up the teen grid as a "family" version.
But of course, that will never happen, because it would never make any money!

1. of course i am aware of how many people can be on a homestead sim at one time, not brain dead.
2. i happen to have no performance issues
3. none of the above is the point because i was asking a simple question if you dont have an answer there is no need to comment in such a way im simply trying to find out where i stand is all.

but thank you for the imput

What I am sure you meant to say: Private Regions with *Advertised* Adult content will have to flag the entire region as adult....

I sure hope so, or you are going to upset a *few* residential estate owners...

Please clarify.. =/

The swap will be for those on mainland who are moving to the new adult continent.
