Will there be a TOS for corporations?

Hello Lindens

Today it was pointed out that Nissan left a billboard in the sandbox at NCI Plaza. Knowing selling is a big no-no in sandboxes normally I wonder if there will be a TOS for corporations saying this is not allowed, or that it is ok even?

Should it have been AR'd?

It seems one thing to travel to thier upcoming Islands for adverts, but having them placed in sandboxes where someone is paying a tier for residents to create and learn seems tacky to me. Also if this is going to be ok'd I fear for all the An----.com signs and Mr. L-- signs that will then be fair game to be thrown about.

What is or will be the expectation for Corporations and ads they place about? I ask because this is something that has started and we residents will need to know what if anything we can do about it.

Thank you.

Heya Mac --

Since NCI Plaza is a Resident-run sandbox, it's up to those who own or are otherwise authorized to take care of the parcel whether that Nissan billboard stays or gos. I should mention, however, if that billboard contained depiction of trademarks, if it wasn't actually put up by Nissan itself, then it should be removed as detailed in:

In the Linden sandboxes, no ads are allowed. That goes for everyone.

Spamming isn't allowed, so if a corporation's representative starts dumping billboards unwantedly on Residents, their account should be disciplined like any other Second Life account. But if they are indeed the genuine company and posting ads on their own land, they can do that. Current examples of this, as showcased in many a news story, already exist.
