Upcoming Changes for Adult Content: Answers to Questions

sl laws of contract do not apply in my country.
end of story.
not trolling just correcting you.

This sounds like a wonderful place, and a great example of how to handle Adult material. I would love to visit it sometime. Although, I am not sure I can handle any more soul mates.

I may not end up meeting my soulmate there, but always looking for great places to hang out and so far I'm sold. lol
LANDMARK ME! Or I'll just stalk your profile and get it that way... yeah!

That was the original promise of Second Life. LL may still use that dream as part of their marketing but they don't understand what that means to individuals. They've only ever seen us as socially isolated junkies and you can see that attitude rubbing off on the likes of Nany and her ilk.

Your world, your imagination is gone and the dream is fading. The new continent will end up being something harsher (as in 'in your face') and less diverse I would think. But I also think that it will be more welcoming and far more tolerant than what will be left behind.

If LL decide to give us all age verified status then we'd be fine and then new continent would be a win for all - particularly now since its some incredible size and growing daily. Let the new joiners be filtered.

You pointed on something there, at wich I can knott...

My problem will be to debate with them, about how can I manage my new bible-shop, if I change from being an architect and interior designer and occasionally Vampire, to be a Fundmantal Christian (with hidden vampire fangs then, unfortunaly). Because I do every thing in my life with full strength and consequently straight forward. A bible shop is, from its own nature, a perfect business for a PG region. But my upcoming fundamentalism, very much inspired by the new game-policy, will make it obligatory necessary that I cannot sell bibles to non-virgins, because I will also enter the strong growing market for chastity-belts, because, well, imagine a bible-shop, without a bit casual fundamentalism fashion?

And here starts the dilemma: to hold my fundamental mind and my elite-fundamental reputation then free from sin, I *have* (this is the mission then from very above) to sell my bibles then *only* to strict virgin females and some of the here and there in strict enclosure living monks in game.

This needs, this is obviously and inevitable: controlling.

Since I am unable to trust other people - especially not in case of such sensible questions - I *need* to control the virginity of my female customers by myself. So, I have to create a room in front of my bible-shop, where I can check visual (!) and tactile (!) , if my female customers are virgins or not. I *have* fitting instruments available for that by nature.

It *is* logical, that I cannot open my bible - and chastity-belt shop on the adult-continent, because none of my potential customers would tp to a mature or an adult zone.

Rather they would burn themselfs to ash.

So, I need to locate my fundamentalism supplies shop strict on a PG sim, to be available for my customers - but for the above explained ultra-clean fundamentalism reasons and my own salvation and for the health of my rott...,sorry, I mean for my deeply believing soul, I need to check my clientele precise and severely.

So, now LL, bring me out of this dilemma! What should I do? Blondin? (this is the man who knows all, as we know...)

Because you have fairly good technical knowledge of how SL works, silly. Why would LL dare want people who they can't BS to be a part of their shoving this down everyone's throats. If they just just invite the people they can tell... "well we would do that but the flux capacitor would decompile and it would result in a neutrino emission that could disable the analogue dielectric of the grid"... who will then all nod their heads as if they understand, then LL can say "we discussed this with a cross section of the population and they all understood and agreed."

We can maybe make the best of a bad bargain...if they give us land comparable to what we have. I love my plot.
BT

I love my land too. I have snowy mountain top and a tropical beach for me and a nice bit of flat grassland with neighbours who have set up lovely gardens for the shop. Give me those on the new continent and I'll happily go.

and one last post for those of you who may need a little bolstering in the fight with LL



Sometimes it's easy to forget that it's real people we're talking about here.

This was address in a previous thread. There have not been any thoughts about grandfathering accounts.

Well, I had somewhat hoped that might be the case, which is why I gave it an entirely in-character response as my anthro fox Kitsune avatar. Unfortunately, comments like the one you made are like tossing around gasoline and light-anywhere matches. Someone is sure to take it seriously, and start the flames going. Even if you just meant it as sarcasm.

Oh, this is hysterically funny. I had not considered the possibility of role playing a fundamentalist prostitute...We could have stoneings. I know this sounds awful, and I am just being playfully sarcastic. I believe in live and let live and my grandmother was a wonderful fundamentalist from Tennessee. But, this made me laugh.

I agree with this and this is my plan exactly the day someone comes to me or my business and says it has to be relocated to certain death, is the day they will no longer receive any of my money, I see it as if my business means nothing, then neither does my money. I have found some very promising alternatives to LL/SL as well. Places where we may all have what we used to have here before all the witch hunts started.

As I have stated in my previous replies... The Sims Online, started this as well, infringing on people telling them what they could and could not have in thier profiles, removing their information from their profiles and suspending accounts, and now there is no such place called The Sims Online, we the users SEEN TO THAT!!!

Implementing this will be LL's / SL's downfall and doom, they might as well shut down doing something so needless. And to think they wanted to be successful. Will let you all know if I find something great in my searches. After all I came across this and brought thousands with me here I feel responsible in a way for telling them they had freedom here, freedom of creativity, freedom of expression, freedom of experience, and now that is all but a lie. I owe it to them...

And where are my ANSWERS... What is this the 7th 8th new one and still NO ANSWERS !!!

Blondin, with respect, do you have any idea how frustrating it is that you pop in to address an odd question of your choosing every 10-15 pages, leaving major concerns unanswered? I thought the whole point of this thread was that we WOULD get some idea of what was going on - you made such a promising start

Sounds about right

Well the ones i had in mind weren't British but also knew JB personally but anyways thats not for here



I agree whether its this website or our website or SL then the company should be transparent and honest to its customers and those that want to do business with it, and that goes from falsely inflating membership figures to acting in good faith for the customers



We to use SL to advertise our website and have done for sometime now and for us i think SL has a while to go before it becomes uneconomical as we are able to claim it as business advertising and even with all this hassle at the moment it still remains for us a good vehicle to get our site name out and continues to bring in members and gives our existing membership base some 3d space to play in.



I totally agree with you



Thats just human nature

The more I read this forum and the short little answers to the odd questions that Blondin pops in to give every few hundred postings, the more I think LL is just laughing at this...does not leave me with a warm fuzzy feeling:\

Blondin Linden,


could you please address the issue(s) I addressed in my post on page 22 of this thread?
/352/11/314444/14.html#post2377220

Thanks in advance!

Who are you calling "Losers" ??
A. Most if not all of us own successful businesses here in SL, that is why we are here because we do not want to see it ruint over NOTHING.
B. We are still, as we have been, asking questions without answers to something so terribly wrong. If anyone could provide us with ANSWERS we would not still be asking questions.

We all contribute to LL, financially, so how dare you call anyone here losers.. If you do not like the content we offer you are not forced to come and see it. You are among the FEW that are soooo offended by everything, and as you see the VAST amount of people that have choosen SL as a place to come and express themselves with the freedoms allowed here, that make this place turn into everyday life.. This is not REAL LIFE, this is a place of FREEDOM or was....

My mom used to tell me and maybe you should think about this, everytime you point a finger, there are four pointing back at you..... Not sure what you do here in SL, but I am sure if I was the type of person who became easily offended, which I am NOT, I am certain I can fnd something you do offensive...

That was an interesting post. Thanks for your comments.

Thanks for posting as that was an interesting read and shows how SL can help others less fortunate than ourselves I wonder though whether this sort of thing is the driving force to move us adult content peeps to a new land thereby creating a better experience for folks that are maybe socially disadvantaged skill wise?

If all existing accounts with no verified details are "grandfathered" as "account verified" does not that defeat the object of account verification in the first place? as how many underage players are already on the grid i wonder.

Just wondering

Does that sound about right, gang?

Blondin: you might want to quote a bit more of things to put them in context.

This is one user who was spooked into not purchasing land on the mainland.

I downgraded to basic awhile back (not because of any LL policies, but because I simply wasn't utilizing the land). Recently, I was researching land on the mainland to buy for some "adult" activities. The intent was for it to be private, but I want the freedom to make it public if I wanted to. This adult content fiasco stopped me from purchasing it though.

My problem is.... if I did purchase the land, and made it private, I probably wouldn't get a free land swap to Ursula. Correct? My assumption that only public adult venues that are FORCED to move will get a free ride with the land swap. Perhaps that's an incorrect assumption, but it's the conclusion I drew due to lack of information from LL. If that were the case, then suddenly I'd be stuck with a hunk of land I can't do what I want to with, can't sell it, and can't afford to pay the inflated price to live in Ursula.

My solution is to just not buy any land for now. I'll remain basic. This probably means that I won't get a free-ride land swap and be forced to shell out a bajillion dollars to buy a small parcel in Ursula later on. God... and we thought Bay City was bad.

For what it's worth, I'm attempting to identify 8 questions a day, discuss them with the team and bring answers back to the forum. I was able to do it Tuesday from questions I gathered on Monday and then again on Wednesday with questions I gathered on Tuesday. I'm almost ready to post another 8.
