Upcoming Changes for Adult Content: Answers to Questions

It will be pretty hard for LGBT places to be listed in search if you can not use "the s word" (transsexual, same sex, sexual diversity, homosexual, etc). Not to mention anyplace that specifically says "no sex" in their land description.

Lets all convert to OPEN LIFE instead... Linden lab are apperently commiting suicide...
And LL, for the record: YOU SUCK! This was NOT part of the deal when i orderd a SIM, give me back the money you assholes!

/HIA PAINE!

merged words or misspellings are not filtered, only full words.

While this may be a sarcastic statement, I can't tell in text...... honestly, my insight comes from trust. I trust that Linden Lab will do what's best for Second Life. They can see things that we can't..... they know things we don't..... and when they implement something, it's generally for a darn good reason.

I've seen all kinds of people say Linden Lab is stupid and ignorant and many other unpleasant things, but you know what..... Second Life is successful, nobody else is doing or has been about to do what Second Life is doing..... and Second Life is still constantly growing. If Linden Lab were either stupid or ignorant, Second Life would fail..... and it's certainly not failing. That's not the results from a company who don't know what they're doing..... sure, they make mistakes, but they fix them too.

It's already too aggressive before this insanity, go try to search for "Bondage" in the existing search. Lots of results right?

Now search for "Playground", still lots of hits.

Now search for "Bondage Playground", place has been around forever...

can't find it can you?

bondAGE PLAYground.

there's your reason why.

Okay, here's something I addressed in another forum. People are talking about what they could lose in this change, the risks, etc. People are talking about losing money..... but, how many people are going to have their livelihoods challenged in this change?

"Bondage" is filtered. "Age play" is not.

"Bondage" is filtered. "Age play" is not.

I said EXISTING VIEWERS, NOT 1.23

Agreed. We can't go screaming about LL abrogating our freedoms of expression and in the next breath denounce someone for expressing theirs, no matter how much it is in vogue in RL right now.

I agree also. I support content filtering. I support what google have done with their search engine (as useless as it is sometimes) and I support LL in its efforts to bring content filtering into SecondLife (as useless as that will be sometimes also).

I support more though peoples right to protest, to express themselves freely and to fight for what they believe in, even when sometimes I disagree with their cause. And when they can show through their expressions, words and deeds that I am wrong then I will concede, take to myself what I have learned from them, some if not all, and hopefully be a better person for it.

I too support content filtering.

its nuts how you can discount others and say you don't think you are better than anyone else. People do make rl money here that they use for household expenses. Some people have given up their rl jobs to work in sl. SL has been my rl job for 3 years now. I am lucky that it is a second income for my household and not needed. But others may not be as lucky and sl may be very important to them as their adult content places might provide food for their household. You don't know. You can't assume that nobody here makes enough to do that or needs it. I'm sorry if your business only brings you in a few hundred dollars a month. That is not the case with everyone.

It's not surprising - some trader have grown to the point where they have lost touch with the people and their roots which gave them a leg up - it's not just Linden Labs who can display crass disregard for the people who helped give them what they have today.

Most of the larger outfits, owners are, I expect, watching on with a certain bemusement as they already own their own islands away from mainland. Not their problem

They are not tasked with a massive rebuild or in fear of only half their parcel being transferred to the ghetto and if crass commercialism is at play too they will be sniggering all the way to the bank while they pick up extra business because the rest of us plebs will be struggling to get back on our feet.

However that store owner posted a similar arrogant sounding missive in xstreet forums and such stances show scant regard for the very people and establishments that have helped create her self proclaimed success.

I would however like to see some of the more eminent adult content providers come off the fence one way or the other - at least now when it comes to the future restocking our clubhouse I know one product provider that I will avoid like plaque

Well the bondage and torture tools queen is over on xstreet saying the overwhelming outcry here is nothing and claims it is all just a few people posting over and over.

Hey I wonder how many of those complaints about people dragging slaves around in public that fueled this entire debacle involved items she sold? If I was her I would not even be showing my face on this topic.

Blondin says trying out demo animations even sexual ones would be allowed (as they havent room for all the furniture stores) therefore every strip club etc can keep their public sex poseballs providing they set them for sale....naturally at a price no one would actually pay......so people can try the demos )
