Upcoming Changes for Adult Content: Answers to Questions

Well, as long as it isn't erect, it's mature- it's *only* nudity- nothing more, it's not advertised, or for sale, so it would be "mature".


Right blondin?

^V^

I still use places as my first point for search, then classifieds. I don't like using all as it throws up so much irrelevant junk. Places are gamed by keywords and bots, classifieds are gamed by keywords and price. There are a lot of people like me who still use places.. mainly old timers by the look of it.

I don't believe this other tab.. despite LL being incapable of using the same code for all their search tabs what they're doing to places makes no sense. If other is just adult, then it just needs an adult tick box. not having it shoved off to a pen marked other (which i suspect will be not visible to us).

but of course only Blondin can answer this, since it's untestable by us in the current setup.

Likewise with my short but most definitely verbatim quotes. Shows a distinct lack of understanding of the meaning of 'transcript' as opposed to 'key points' or 'summary' or 'this-is-what-we-want-to-abbreviate-it-to'.

or "this is what we wished we'd said"

Well, partial transcropts. LL still refuss to release full ones, Linden.

I wrote this http://satiateddesires.wordpress.com/2009/04/29/second-life-adult-content-changes-how-theyll-affect-you/ yesterday in a couple of hours from memory. It took so long because I had to sort and analyse all your obfuscation here. I then had it reviewed by some of the forum bods and after their recommendations I'm pretty confident it's at least 90-95% correct.

How hard would it be for you to write something like this and put it up? You can put all the disclaimers you like around it but it would save a lot of angst. We could actually have a discussion rather than all this prodding to try to get clarity.

So, why don't you read what I've written and give me the corrections and then while we wait for the final release of your policy we at least have something relatively robust that we can point people to.

Of course you should ignore my opinions that are scattered throughout it, they are just the output of my impact analysis.

I still use it too. If any tab were to go I would suggest the obscenity that is the 'all' tab. I usually find it quite helpful to start to find things.

Actually, I rarely (if ever) have searched the classifieds.

Someone thinks things would be better by removing the 'places' tab? Linden.

Probably like why they read more like a press release than people hit with random questions and answering off the cuff, umming and ahing, sneezing, interrupting each other, bollixing sentences and needing to back up a tad .... the things you would expect when people talk outside of a prepared speech. Full access means full access, not what they think is the important information.

Talk about Lindening up ...

How about people who actually need answers to the questions that get lost in the noise?

In this case I think it's pushing the liability onto the private landowner. I have no idea what would happen if an outraged parent AR's a landowner for having something like stepford cammable into by little Johnny.

I'm sure that the word "accessible" is used somewhere, being able to cam in makes the adult content accessible.. I suspect this is another bit of Linden doublespeak in that whilst you can do it, you have to accept the consequences if you do. Like you can have adult content on your land as long as you don't advertise it..

You will just have to except that there's no way to insure people even understand the difference between affect and effect, even on accident.

Sorry. I'll be good.

The main problem is that English is an unmanaged language. There is no equivalent of the Academie Francais deciding what words "really mean". If anything the complaints of prescriptive grammarians have encouraged the change in the common usage of "affect" and "effect".

You mean they're inaccurate as well as being incomplete?

What if there's 40 of them?

But they're not distancing themselves from what happens on mainland.

yeah, isn't that a surprise lol

No, I didn't say that.

The lack of knowledge in the general SL population is profound. One escort club owner said "Im on an island, so it doesnt affect me". It does, she shares the sim with a textures store, so someone will have to move or change. And thats someone directly affected. The general SL people I have asked have no idea or only a vague inkling something is up,

Thats a good point and would allow us to flag adult and stay where we are, because if it is going to be allowed on estates then rightly it should be allowed on mainland

Well from what Blondin said on pages 446 and 447 it is OK to mix them in private estates but I cannot for instance flag my mainland sim adult when Blondin had already said it was the camming into adult from mature or PG that was an issue.

But it makes a mockery if you can do it on private estates yet not on the mainland so the plot thickens These answers need to go onto the slapt wiki for posterity

and mainland owners have an extra tool to fight with as if its allowed on private estates why not mainland Same thing just cheaper tiers on the mainland lol

And this is what will cause chaos when the changes are rolled out, unless LL allow sufficient time prior to implementation for everyone to have their questions answered. I wouldn't want to be on the support team then! Equally, it's all very well for those of us 'in the know' to have time to plan a move, but I pity those who know little or nothing at this stage who are hit with the 'nine days to move' news.

Not the first time I've been accused of that!

I really do prefer the All tab for searching anything. Part of it is because I'm nosy: I find all that "irrelevant" stuff it returns a wealth of information about who's associated with what. Another part, though, is very practical: I can find *things* with All search--actual objects rezzed on parcels--together with their locations. I just couldn't shop in-world anymore without knowing the coordinates of the thing I'm seeking.

If the Chinese would become Captain of the sinking coffin-ship, that would be the end of ratatatatatatat machine-gun-sex in San Francisco style...related to SL.

The Chinese don't believe in hard, fast, intense actions. (This is also to see at their famous 50 years plans in direction economy and population plannings) They are drifting in the delta of venus like tired, slightly disoriented fishes. This can last for hours, if not days. There in China is no mental room for hollywood inspired explosion cults and fast burning. There is no western apocalyptic dynamic in their politics, nor sexuality. They have: time.

We can expect then, that Mao Linden gives new rules and orders through his messenger Laotse Linden to us, to create only very, very, very extraordinaire slow animations, while *cite would be forced to create very, very, very smooth bananas with the functionality and pep of half-dead fishes.

While I have usualy a sympathy for slow enjoyments, I would nevertheless vote for a middle-way - maybe a french or a netherlands investors group would be what I could prefer as next SL owners...

Just to not catch AR's for too fast or too slow activities... - then...if...maybe...

I tried the "all" tab a few times. It just scatalogically returns random gibberish that is only slightly connected to the search terms; words used in peoples profiles or group charters. Maybe theres ways of filtering all this lindening crap but I didn't waste time trying, just reverted back to the good old places/people tabs that seem to work just fine and dandy.

and classifieds? lol puh-lease

Linden me dead, but Blondin better have been up all night preparing replies to all those unanswered questions if this thread is to be locked at month's end!
