Bite me. *hugs Eldora, the PG snow sim*.
![]() No, seriously, I ain't a prude by any stretch of the imagination, but I rather enjoy my "life" in a sim where I don't have to worry about someone opening a cybersex bordello next door. _____________________

I think that when one sees that there are over 500 members in Elf Clan, which is pg, and that the 4 sims bring people back again and again, one would have to conclude that pg land is desirable to many. One of the comments I hear most often is that people enjoy the peace and quiet of the lands, that they feel safe in the elven lands.
Maturity does not equate with profanity or nudity. You have a choice of mature or pg lands, and everyone else should as well. |

Some people have children who may be in the room while they're online, so PG land is important for those people.

This thread is feeling slightly trollish.
![]() I agree, I like my PG sim, where my new neighbors are building nifty tree-heavy houses, and not sex-themed joints. I'd rather decide to find a mature content area (mindboggling easy, of course) than have it forced on me. That might be what people object to more, and not the content. I dunno, side thought here. I'm not against the sex places, but... has anyone come across a *tastefully* done mature place? Or are they all blazing signs, solid-color prims and neon and such, boxes with no art to it because all you need is to buy a bunch of poseballs? This is a generalization based only on what I've seen, of course. Anyone found differently? I think, personally, I wouldn't object to the business if it didn't seem like many felt the need to be eyesores on the outside. |

I like a general guideline... a common question asked in response is:
"Why do we need PG sims? We're adults here!" and then the response to that reponse is: "We may be adults, but not all of us want adult content." If that makes sense. _____________________

Its tough trying to be a PG-rated establishment in a Mature rated sim sometimes. Unfortunately, when I was a naiive newbie, I truly thought the difference between Mature and PG was Toy's quote above ![]() _____________________

Different places having different sets of behavioral constraints is how freedom is implemented.
Making everywhere have the same set of rules eliminates choice in regard to rule sets and thus denies individual liberty. The post is rather trollish. _____________________

Unfortunately, when I was a naiive newbie, I truly thought the difference between Mature and PG was Toy's quote above ![]() I like the way the Shelter is now, Travis, with you having a PG or G mindset and the sim being M. Not too long ago there was some conversation in the Shelter involving words that I would have filed an abuse report for if it was a PG sim, but you were there to the responsible party and make the decision about what you felt was right on your land. You wouldn't have been able to make an abuse report, but you could have taken the actions possible as a landowner if you had felt it necessary, but I don't think you did anything at all, which seemed to work just fine. _____________________

Though the opening post may sound trollish, the idea does get visted from time to time.
Perhaps it needs a better classification up-front someplace? On OI/HI perhaps? I can name a sim or two that, though classified as Mature sit quite well within PG (or not too far from it). My home sim of Tavarua for one. ![]() Also, could you even *think* of classifying a whole-sim project like Numbakulla as Mature? Nope. Anyway, a more detailed discussion of this topic is in Feature Suggestions (in response to an actual vote topic that was - thankfully - shot down). _____________________

Why do people have to try to force their immorality upon the rest of us? Besides, it's not as if we can pack up and move to the Teen Grid.
Is the Cornfield PG or Mature? |

I would like to see PG sims with the language restriction removed. I can understand not wanting sexual content - but giving adults warnings for swearing in an adults only environment is just plain stupid.

Why do people have to try to force their immorality upon the rest of us? Besides, it's not as if we can pack up and move to the Teen Grid. If you look in Land sales, for the amount of PG land available against the amount of M land available...... you'll see there's far more M land for sale. The logical conclusion is that there is a higher demand for more PG land, as has already been stated in this thread, just because we're over 18 doesn't mean we want our SL experience full of sex balls and porn. I happen to live on M rated land, but nothing that goes on there - at least when I'm there, and by design and intent - could be classed as 'adult' by any stretch of the imagination. I have a seventies club, small store, and my home. Second Life is meant to accommodate all lifestyles and choices. If you can have gay communities, furry communities, BDSM communities, Gorean communities, and whatever else you can think of.... what is so wrong about having a community of people who don't want to have to deal with any of the above? In my experience, it's mostly those around the 18 mark who tend to create - and frequent - the sex clubs anyway; there are those of us around who have a few more years under our belt and left behind all that sort of stupidity some time ago, if in fact we were even there in the first place. When I first signed up, there was no PG first land available. I contacted LL and they actually changed one of their next round of servers from M to PG because of my request, and guess what? I got my land, but the rest of the area pretty much sold out within a day, whilst the M land stayed there for several weeks. Those who want all the sex content... LL cater to your needs, so why not give those of us with different opinions a little bit of slack and let our needs be catered for? Lewis _____________________

But, but, but, think of the children. Unicode strings have been shown to be the leading cause of delinquency in minors followed by computer video games, "rock and roll" music, and heroin. @!#)*#$!! _____________________
