If you feel this is a concern, then it probably is. My suggestion is to resale the land and buy some in a mature sim. (sigh) It is a bit annoying that we don't have a switch in looking for land to buy that allows us to toggle between PG and Mature!!!

Totally what I was thinking. I found a good piece somewhere else I will but my losses oh well live and learn. Will never make that mistake again hehe. Thanks. And yes that option would be great. It is a PG area near a Mature area so I dind't see it change to PG as I flew there

I just hope nobody has that filter on to filter out Mature areas. (And, unfortunately, when you start out, it IS filtered out, and it takes some time to figure out that the filter is causing you to see a much shorter list of things in Find.)

I hope that, because my store is on mature land (because there are fewer restrictions, and because mature land is worth more), but I realized last night that having it on mature also HIDES the store and all its (G-rated) contents from anybody with that filter on.

Maybe the "mature" vs "PG" distinction is outliving its usefulness.

You can do anything you want within the confines of your house as long as it doesn't disturb the peace. If you are saying things that should be private, use the IM feature. The only way anyone could be offended is if they look through your walls. They would be breaking privacy rules, so it's unlikely they would complain. :) ;)

If you bought from an individual... contact them, explain your mistake and maybe they will be nice and refund your money.

If you bought it on auction... contact LL, explain the mistake and they will reverse the transaction.

You can't get nakie in a PG sim... well, you can but if comebody reports you ya will be in troubs with LL... so if you wanna get giggy wit yer GF... and I assume you wanna get giggi while nakie... then you will need to buy land in a mature area.

Good luck!

Sorry Kevin but there are no privacy rules in SL... would love for there to be... but none coming from LL. And no... you aren't allowed to be nakie anywhere in a PG sim.

Hi Billy,

5.1 of the tos says... ";(iv) take any action or upload, post, e-mail or otherwise transmit Content as determined by Linden at its sole discretion that is harmful, threatening, abusive, harassing, causes tort, defamatory, vulgar, obscene, libelous, INVASIVE OF OTHER'S PRIVACY, hateful, racially, ethnically or otherwise objectionable;"

I think privacy trumps th complainer who peeks thru walls.. but that's just an opinion :)

Alas it does not. I know people who have been suspended due to being naked in their homes in a PG sim and someone walking in and getting offended. And some have been suspended or warned for displaying a *discreet* nude piece of artwork on their wall inside their home in a PG sim.

Even in a mature sim, any objects considered "XXX" are to be behind walls. Fewer tend to report violations of this sort in Mature Sims though.

So no, privacy does not trump the complainer in a PG sim.

Once upon a time, I actually had someone stalk my home... thankfully for a short period of time... though the Lindens were sympathetic I was informed that there was nothing I could do about it.

That, to me, means peeking thru walls, walking into other's homes uninvited etc.

If I broke into your house and called the cops because I saw you had drugs in there I would go to jail too. So if someone breaks the TOS in order to be offended, they should get suspended as well. That's my opinion tho :)

It is a bannable offence to hide while taking pictures, this was stated by LL shortly after this "Sky on you SL Partner" stuff started up. Wonder how that would play into this, should your doors be locked and windows opaque.

It is entirely possible to make very satifying love to your partner thru IM messages, while simply holding each other as far as the visuals go. My lover and I have found once our IMs have been iniated we hardly look at the AV's, we are too buy looking at the text and responding. Talk to your lover more, you will find it much more satisfying.

If you really want the visual pose balls, install one of my SkyBoxes at 700m above your residence, greatly decreasing the chances that you will be seen by any casual passers by. The SkyBox I sell is available at Club Cherry Charming and at my Hawksnest Bay Art Gallery. Complete with instructions for its use and installation.
