From the mentor chat posted by Jeska Linden:

From: someone
Jeska Linden: The way we're moving is to create a way to allow residents/land owners to restrict parcel access to either those accounts which ahve been created in the "old way" (ie: with a credit card to verify identity) or the "new" way which does not requirea credit card

So the question is when is this going to happen?

And now for some humor:

From: someone

ravenyin Welesa: seems like there is a rash of griefers lately
Jeska Linden: Where at?
Veedal Sassoon: everywhere
Rebel Hope: help2
Jeska Linden: In the mainland, in the Infohubs,
ravenyin Welesa: everywhere..
Ebola Biberman: Not too bad, had one or two rude ones but apart from that everyone's fairly nice. =/
Jeska Linden: or where?
primus Tank: everywhere
Mya Heaney: everywhere


:D

I hope they are. Its atleast ONE line of defense against 'contributing to the corruption of a minor' amongst other charges. If we can do that and any parents file lawsuits then the blame falls on the parent for allowing the minor access to credit card info etc, rather than on the person showing the mature content in the ADULT grid.

The verification checking tools are not for stopping griefers. There are griefers among the verified and probably less than 1/5 the unverifieds are griefers.

The purpose of the tools is to protect mature content providers from legal liability arising from display and sale of their wares. Verification is not proof that one is of age, but it is the accepted method by law, industry, and the general public with which to prevent access by minors.
