Should LL ban Pixel Sex? , Forum Poll Voters Opinion

Or Devotion ... also good.

Susie ... you made me spit diet coke all over my new keyboard. I am offended!

Voted no btw.

Stopping the pixel sex woudl not in anyway stop the cyber sex that goes on in IM. So rahter pointless imho to ban the animations.

Some of the non females in the group might not understand my reference so I hope I made it clear that sex can be very dangerous.

Voted no.

Nein. *And Colette's Pixels look much better "In Person".

We'd have to invent pixel shampoo and conditioner...

What is this a competition to make a better poll? is that why you made this poll? thats so funny, and small

Well she IS Funny...and Small. (Sorry Hon, I couldn't resist).

test

funny - why is this poll funny?

small - why is this poll small?

This poll is directly to the point. And asks the baic question people were trying to infer from the results of the other poll. Inferences that I beleive are incorrect and not supported by any actual data.

Its simple on purpose. Complex Polls get you a lot of statistics that are useless when viewed objectively.

The results of this poll just dont agree with the editorialized assumptions made in that other poll/thread.

And I find that Interesting.

Pixel sex will never be removed from SL because it's impossible to enforce everywhere.

What it is possible to enforce, of course, is that all "adult activity" takes place on areas labelled as such, protected by the identity verification scheme so that those who have not verified as actually being 18+ cannot access it.

Then, assuming the above, people won't come across things they might find objectionable, unless either a) they verified anyway, b) the landowner hasn't listed their land correctly, c)someone is outside of an adult area pixel bumping.

If it's either B or C, then that's abuse reportable. If it's A, then there should be a list of specific things that are not allowed.

If the onus is put on the landowner to list their land correctly, and clearly identify the 'adult' activity going on inside, then that leaves the onus on the individual to check to make sure that where they are going will not be objectionable to them, or illegal by the laws in the country or state in which they reside. With both, Linden Lab cannot be held responsible.

Here's one I found that seems to work... http://www.faceparty.com/shop/avs.aspx?qt_1=0&qt_2=0&qt_3=0

Of course not. I would like to see a different grid structure though, I think, since it appears we are in for a change.

LL Grid (including mainland and islands)
Islands owned by corporation or individuals which are hosted on their servers but connect to the LL Grid
Islands owned by corporation or individuals which are hosted on their servers which don't connect to the LL Grid
Pocket spaces hosted on private servers which connect in a limited way to the LL Grid

So - one could arrange to have a small area hosted somewhere. That would allow a person and a short list of friends to access a private area with no fear of being barged in on, while the greater grid would be accessible. That would end the privacy troubles involving peeping Toms taking screenshots, video, or the like. No one would need to worry about their poseballs getting worn out or have need for ban lines. Hosting companies could do this - provide a variety of sizes in small areas that ordinary people could afford - exactly the same as what they do already but with the tie-in to Second Life's LL Grid.

A business, say a casino or an X-rated shop, could be on its own server if it desired and have its own rules of entry, presumably. They would need a LL Grid parcel to connect with SL, but that parcel could look like anything (I mean, for instance, it might not be flagged Adult and contain no X-rated content, just be the portal to an X-rated shop).

I'd like to see everywhere open, with privacy areas for people who want them.

Sorry but in order to implement the no sex policy, all avatars will be fitted with automatic push sheilds, so contact bewen Avatars will no longer be possible or tolerated

Oh yes they can, Try typing the word penis, bosum, or even Jesus in WoW or CoH chat, it just gets "****"ed out.

I never realised my hair was at stake, I only ever worried about getting pregnant really.

Always a worry LL trying to rehash the grid structure when they can't even organise a road system.

hands voodoo his Moral MaHjorahty Badge and hands Himm his bible and cross

waits for PETA to storm Dannis SL home in all thier Pixelated glory, plus the tree huggers, religiuos right, people against the anal abuse of xmas trees.....well yall get my point

I vote YES- 2 Reasons:

#1- Just to be an ass.

#2- If all sex was banned in SL, we'd have a nice clean sanitized SL where everything would be a Frickin' Disneyworld Experience. We can also ditch gambling and Gor. Make everything a nice lil' G-Rated World for everyone. Nothing to offend. Then we can all sit around a prim campfire sing frickin' Kumbaya cuz thats about all you'll be able to do eventually.

I give this a BIG NO.

People that are complaining about sex in a game obviously haven't played a game online or haven't even been in an open chat online. Sex is constantly there, it's been there for years and will continue to be there simply because, enough people want it and in a game like Second Life, it is a product that is always in demand.

As somebody commented about the filtering in World of Warcraft, that filter can actually be disabled in the options. You have the choice of being able or not being able to see the words, which is the same in Second Life. You have the choice of watching and shaking your head saying you don't like what you're seeing, or you can teleport away. Those that are complaining about sex in Second Life are complaining because they chose not to step away.

By removing sex from Second Life, it will cause a lot of people issues and will cause a lot of businesses problems. You may or may not realise, that sex is tied in to a lot of the businesses in Second Life, wether they originally planned it that way or not.
Some Examples;
Clubs are everywhere in Second Life, of clubs most are focused in some way towards sex, be it with dancers or escorts.
Skins with private parts showing wouldn't be needed as we'd never be allowed to take our clothes off.
Clothing like lingerie, that wouldn't be needed as, well what's the point in wearing seductive clothing when you're allowed to actually seduce people.
Furniture, do you go out and buy yourself a bed so when you actually go to sleep in Real Life, you put your avatar to bed in Second Life? No, you log off when you go to bed.

Everything in Second Life has some tie-in with the 'sex industry' in Second Life, as ultimately, this is what we're talking about. By removing sex from Second Life, we are affecting more than two people who enjoy spending time alone, we are affecting probably the most successful form of business in Second Life.

Lastly, I beleive that the blurb for Second Life when I signed up was, "Your only limit is your imagination" or something along those lines. Well when I read that and read what Second Life was, I signed up as I have quite a big imagination. I thought it'd be great being able to do things that I've always wanted to in other games, or in Real Life that I couldn't. But it would seem that blurb was just some false advertisement, which, isn't false advertising against the law anyway?

As I said before, I vote no. Pixel Sex in Second Life is far more than sexual activity, it is what has made Second Life as big as it is today, in my opinion.

Yes the filter can be turned off, but they don't have to allow us to turn it off, quite easy to remove the option to us altogether. My point is it can be done filtering to make Cybering near impossible or at least unenjoyable.
Yes in WoW I see regularly some idiot on chat sprouting that 2 elves are cyberchatting on a riverbank, but 200 feet from a main path, LOL, he's going to report them, get them banned, blah, blah, blah. Where do you think baby elves come from kid? This war isn't going to be over next year we need to keep or Alliance numbers up in the future to stay the army of faster reproducing Horde

Elf babies. They come from the trees, don't they?

But yeah, I guess they could remove the filtering option, but if they do that... Then I'll just go into MSN with my friends. Heh. You'll see people standing around just staring at each other while they're using some other chat client in the background

Although the profanity filter can be turned off, the words are still banned. Although you do need to have the filter off to find out what people mean when they talk about the ******* horde!

I can't speak for WoW, but it is entirely possible to cyber in CoH's IM. And you do have the option of turning off the language filter.

I take great pride in my ability to cyber without using a single street term or even medical term. All it takes is a little imagination. Some women are turned off by the crude terms, so I learned how to use other words to make my intentions clear.
