I never said that they weren't. In fact, these individuals probably would qualify.

Can't say any of it's making sense to me, so far.

In what way is the experience of anyone just travelling around and exploring going to be made any more "predictable" or "safe", when at any moment there could be something like this Wedding Reception Sex Orgy in full swing at the next place they visit?

Or productions of the Mikado!

"In a tree by a willow, a little tom tit cried 'willow, tit willow, tit willow.'
I said to him, 'dickie-bird why do you sit, crying 'willow tit willow tit willow...?'"

Seems very sexist to me that faggot the great english meatball is on the list yet lesbian is not. Sexual discrimination which is bad no?

That's not my understanding; my reading of it -- certainly as it applies to my sims -- is that, because of unarguably "Adult" content on parts of them, I will have to flag the whole sim as "Adult" even if I don't advertise. Which I don't.. the Adult stuff is for me and my friends, and I don't particularly encourage others to use it, but people who wander onto parts of the sim uninvited may see stuff that offends them and I don't want to cause (or have) any problems.

My take on the Gorean RP sims is that is that they'd need to flag as Adult content, whether or not they advertise, in case someone sees all these green dots on the map, tps in to see what's what, and gets upset about what he finds when he gets there.

We need clarification, certainly.

Thank you for clarifying that. A number of people have been assuming the opposite holds true... that you would only be moved if you couldn't "paper over" the Adult Content. I didn't think that sounded reasonable, but I had to admit that it could be read that way.

I think you have to look at this from the point of view of "predictability".
Will there be a possibility that someone offended by the content will find it?

1. They find the parcel in Search.
You might not have a business as such, but you might have your parcel in search as a social thing. Open house, drop in, enjoy.
You can't have Adult words in the description to warn off the easily-offended. If they arrive and get offended, then you're open to AR for making Adult content available in a non-Adult area.
You've broken "predictability".


2. They are wandering around and stumble across your parcel. They see your Adult content and they AR it.
Who knows what an individual G-Team member might decide?
They might say "Parcel not in Search", so no prob.
They might say "Although not in Search, it's too easy to see it from the outside". That would be breaking "predictability".

I would expect that any Adult content in non-Adult regions that is not indexed in Search and placed so that people can not see it without camming in would be classed as your own private business.


3. You meet someone(s) socially and invite them back. Or - one of them asks "Kewl, mind if I invite a friend?"
Someone then gets offended because their "predictable" experience has been broken.

What to do?
When you invite someone, do you have to warn them that they might see some Adult content? You might have no intention of using the content, and mentioning its existence could be misinterpreted.
If they in turn invite a friend, do they have to pass the warning - and the possible misinterpretation - down the chain?

If you are a sensitive soul and are invited to visit a place, are you supposed to inquire if the place has any Adult content?

My guess: the wedding reception private orgy would need to be out of sight of casual view. For example, in a skybox or behind opaque walls*, in a parcel where the landing point won't dump you un-knowingly into the middle of the sticky stuff.

* I know you can cam through walls, but Blondin has indicated that "inside buildings" is enough privacy to count as privacy in this context.

Blondin: is my guess correct?

Yep, you are entirely correct. If we can see that, why not Linden? There has to be a true explanation. I think somehow they will make more money if they get rid of some citizens, there can be no other explanation.

He said 'probably'. Note the wiggle room.

To be fair, just because a word isn't on the list doesn't mean it's unfiltered. It may not have been checked. I didn't check "Furry" or "Ponyboy".

I've checked some drug terms, but haven't found any that trip the filter. I've not done much searching for violent or racist content.

Edit: There's a list of words currently known to be unfiltered there now.

Why is it *our* job to protect the kids on SL, when it's their parents that should be looking after them? Why the heck is it my job? If you want to protect kids, don't let them go somewhere they might see adult content. I don't have kids, don't want kids, couldn't take care of them. If you leave it up to protect kids I will fail.

Don't want that? Then keep your kids away from me. Don't make it my job to look out for them.

This is exactly the problem. Lindens arbitrarily presiding over where how and who can go places and do things.

If people can't take responsibility for themselves or their children, they will make victims out of all of us.

Don't bend to stupidity and fear. This is ridiculous. Give us back our world.

Gor and Gorean are on the list of No No words

and a public thanks to Daniel for helping to keep both lists upto date both on the SL wiki and our new mirror site

I understood Argent's question to be one of Adult content actually existing on the parcel, and the search tags reflecting that content.

In that case, what is this "probably would qualify" paleface??

What is this "significant" impact that would qualify one parcel, but leave other parcels with public Adult content as only "probably" qualifying?

I just checked our tools and you 1) look verified to me and 2) have your maturity setting set to Adult.

You're good to go.

Bosom? Threesome? Oh, come ON.

No, Bosom is fine, Bosoms isn't. So only take one of them out in the PG areas.

This thought just hit me.... When I go to search "All" in world I get places that show the listing of the content. So lets say someone has a scupltie penis with sex sounds hud for sale and they have their vendor sign marked to show in search.... how will the new filter handle that?

Or even someones home.... lets say that someone went to the ursula land and bought that sculpty penis with sex sounds hud and it was purchased as a copy so that they had to take the sign home and rez it to open the box. They leave the box in the middle of their living room. It is set to show in search. Do they get AR'd for that? I mean..... hmmmm... something to think about.

What is your place? Business? Home? Park? Beach?

More censorship -always- leads to a safer world.

Since we're making things up as we go along, as it sounds like we're doing, lets just have a camp for all of the "unclean" so those who might get offended never will.

the main point here is that everything that Blondin has said so far flies in the face of the published draft policy on the site. Without any kind of explanation as to why LL feel the need to publish one thing and then completely disregard it puts all of us at risk of ARs when this is implemented.

Until the policy on the website is changed, I'm working with that. If that's the official position of the company then there's not much else that can be said. Relying on Blondin's advice for anything "grey" is asking for trouble further on down the line.

People keep talking about beating the filter... I don't think that's the point.

Do you really think Xcite wants kids in their Sim, and the potential lawsuits that come with it?

I think most places won't mind the filter, actually I think the opposite might be the problem. I know if I had a PG Sim, I'd find a way to make it just mature enough not to show up in the search, because I wouldn't want a lot of idiot kids running around in it. They're a pain.
