Upcoming Changes for Adult Content: Answers to Questions

I think he said his commute home is 4 hours, and I assume he doesn't post while driving.

If my understanding of the prevailing definitions is correct, many legitimate support groups like AA would be considered mature charities/ngos as they necessarily confront issues of a mature nature e.g. addiction and its negative consequences.

That said, I kind of share your trepidation regarding adult charity examples.

Not to mention...what is a "qualifying MAINLAND resident"? And hey, does that mean we're going to need to buy the new land??? Or is it a free swap for the land we have on the mainland??? Questions...questions...and more questions

Another question, please.

We are busy on our end trying to formulate this move. Planning and planning. Trying to think of the best ways of moving 1/2 a sims worth of buildings and items. It isn't going to be something that is going to be done overnight. I work full-time in the real world so my time is limited. Is there a grace period for this move, this transfer. Or are we expected to pull everything up in one day and sort it out on this new land?

I just couldn't do it that way. I would just give up before even trying. We are talking of thousands of items. Not to mention lots of items belonging to different people. Are we going to be allotted time for this move along with a grace period on our tier?

Please point me to definitions that LL said that groups such as AA etc. would be considered Adult in nature and therefore fall under the Adult continent move, i am intrigued as to how you reached this conclusion.

I sort of run a community of multiple parcel owners, each of whom is a premium member, and each of whom has one 512 sq. m. parcel. Through a little planning and judicious land buys, we've all been able to arrange contiguous parcels on a very pleasant waterfront bluff in Whitlow. We've done this because all we want to do is have a NICE PARK, and NOT PAY ANY TIER.

We don't have a group and we don't expect any special treatment where we are now.

My question is, when the big land swap takes place, how can we ensure that we all end up in the same contiguous configuration in the same very nice and very pricey waterfront setting?

This is an issue for several longtime SL residents who have banded together to do this.

Create a group, put all your land in the group, and join all the parcels together.

yes, do that.

Paypal have a very explicit exclusion of any company that deals in adult content. Which is partly why XSL has two sites and you cannot use paypal to buy from the uncensored.

Strictly speaking paypal should pull the pin on the agreement it has with LL as LL are facilitating the violation of this agreement.

So, feel free to write to paypal and remind them of this. Just make sure that if you have paypal on your account that you have a different payment method available to you if you do.

The hell I can't. I transfer money from PayPal to XStreet and buy from the uncensored list all the time.

And you know what? If LL can shoot themselves in the foot over this, so can I. I'm damn well GOING to write to PayPal. For one thing, I don't agree with their "no adult content" policy, and if they choose to lose my business by enforcing it on LL, it serves both of them right.

So becouse your upset with lL your going to hamper 1,000's of users ability to buy or sell Lindens?. I rely on Paypal for the sale of my lindens.
but becouse a few people are mad at LL over this for damaging people SL experance your going to make sure to damge the SL experance for those of us that wish too go on.

We need a word beyond 'mature' that is not a synonym of it.

/me doubts paypal will punt SL over this. The might get mad at LL claiming that having paypal should somehow give adult content creators a warm & fuzzy feeling that they're dealing with RL adults, tho..

I would too. LL didn't have that discussion before they started making their Grand Plan. They are not having that discussion now.

There is nothing I'd like more than to keep the whole thing in house, just between us and LL. But, Sindy, they are not listening. These threads, the office hours, the brown bags...they are not dialogs, in any sense of the word.

I'm now looking for any way I can to MAKE them listen. Being a company, they listen to money, so that's where to apply pressure. I've already begun tiering down, removing all the financial support I can control. If the credit card companies and PayPal were to say "We don't want your business, LL", that would be a much bigger hammer. Yes, I'd be hitting myself in the thumb with it, too. But I am to the point where that's starting to look attractive.

Beats banging my head against the wall.

Senescent?

what is the worse of the two? having adult matiral on its on continet, or its own grid?

It is a little difficult to post while on the road.

Klang, as I understand it, only those people who have content that are rated "Adult" will get the offer to move. If some of you are, and some of you aren't, then it looks like you will get split up.... or was that not your question?

ok So after paypal refuses LL's buisness and by the off chance LL Decieds not to go though with this they
They will have to do more drastic changes to bring paypal back such as make a seprate grid for Strickly adult content ( Porn, Sex, heavy BDSM) and the like, just to get paypal back. what is the worse of the two? having adult matiral on its on continet, or its own grid?
and By attacking Paypal your not just hurting LL yoru hurting fellow ussers!!!!

Thanks for all the comments and background information.

All of the parcels are set to mature, but there are no explicitly "adult" themed builds or content there--but hey, you never know, the weekend is coming up!
