I think that's Robin's blog, isn't it?
Well, thank GOD they are reinstating the identifying information for the teen grid, at least. Is there anyone who still thinks we don't do any good? Who thinks they don't listen to us? Who thinks campaigning for these things was rude? Well, I think we have done some good here. That they are going to tighten up the teen grid again is an EXTREMELY good thing. We can all feel good that we have campaigned for that. I, personally, can certainly rest easier with this news. That was such a sticking point for me I was seriously considering having to leave SL over it. Everything isn't still ideal, but this is a BIG thing to make me rest easier. I just wasn't doing well constantly thinking that I was going to be a party to open season on teens. That bothered me far more than any griefer concerns. I still have concerns, but the biggest one is being fixed. coco _____________________

Thank Christ.
 Changes to Teen Grid Registration Anyone whose birthday indicates they are between the ages of 13 and 17 is invited into the Teen Grid. Although there is currently no perfect way to verify that someone is the age they give us, we want to make sure that the teens on Teen Second Life can be confident they are dealing with other teens, and not with adults who do not belong on the grid. Therefore we are reinstating the payment information requirement for anyone entering the teen grid. In addition, we will be posting a warning to anyone entering the teen grid who is in fact older than 18, and misrepresenting their age to us. That warning states: "Warning to adults: Teen Second Life is a service offered to minors only. If you provide false birthdate information in order to access Teen Second Life, Linden Lab may provide your personal information to any law enforcement organization or private litigant investigating your activities." _____________________
