Where is exact definition of PG and Mature?

Can someone please give me the link to where I can read the exact definition of what PG and Mature allow and dissallow? I am getting all kinds of opinions from all kinds of people, many of them contradictory.

Why isn't this easeir to find? I would have thought it would have been defined on the Communtiy Standards page.

It is not here...

Hi Loydin,

Here's how it works:

We use "PG" ("Parental Guidance" and "Mature" as general guidelines for regional ratings in Second Life. They're inspired by, but not exactly the same as television/movie ratings.

What this means is that content for adults, such as swearing (a la George Carlin), explicit sexuality and blood/gore, belongs in Mature sims. A safe rule of thumb is whether you'd be comfortable doing it in front of a elementary school class.

Oh, and because someone just asked, topless sunbathing should be done in Mature sims.

We have these guidelines to be understandable, without a confusing jumble of sub-laws such as "this word is allowed but OH NO YOU CAN'T SAY THAT!". So there's a lot of looking at context and intent to get a better idea of the bigger picture at play here. And which is why there isn't a big paragraph (or paragraphs) on them.

In light of that, it's understandable there's opposing opinions and room for discussion amongst Residents -- some things are "fuzzier" than others. We have an "Indecency" category in the Help menu > Report Abuse form to investigate if you come across something Mature in a PG sim.

You're super-welcome!

Loydin asked me two *great* extra questions which I've heard come up a lot. So to be clear to everyone:



True! In a PG sim, you should *not* be having sex in a skybox, hidden behind walls, etc. It's Mature activity, keep it in a Mature sim.



Historically we've allowed gambling in PG sims, yes. I've played bingo and games of chance in them too, as mentioned earlier.

This only applies to Main Grid -- gambling is *not* allowed anywhere on Teen Second Life. This is for legal reasons.
