Which will be priority for the .........

Second Life Stasi gambling offenses or sex offenses?

that would be having sex with underage gorean nekko's while having a flutter on the blackjack table Chris *lol*

Well, looks like they just handled the gambling problem. Next up should be them dealing with the Child Molester of The Month Club

Now somebody HAS to rise to that challenge!

Gambling offences for a month and they they'll turn to sex, then it will be merging the grids as with no sex and gambling kids will be safe to come here, until the Germans uncover the new and thriving paedo rings.

ROFL

Yeah now everyone is looking at me strange in the office (well more strangely anyway).

***EDIT*** because I laughed in real. Not cos I am up for this award!!!!!!!

Sure you're not..........

How about having an underage sploder get it on with one of Ishtara's horses?

/me shuts up and gets on with her work rl ...

Told you she'd get her own back.

Hate to break it to you Escorting in SL is LEGAL between Consenting Adults , it is the same Legally considered Phone Sex or the equivelent , Now underaged cyber is a different story but in the eyes of any court , There TOS would never stand a chance they cannot put the blame for underaged persons being logged into there Servers on the customers it is LL responseablity to verify ages TOS agreement or not

The sex falls under the broadly offensive heading, it seemed we had roving patrols of informers searching the grid for things they could AR, will they now turn to the gambling dens or stick with the sex offenses?

Phone sex is not legal the world over, which is why some of those companies have a head office in some far off tropical location and there are rules (In the UK anyway) regarding obscenity on British Telecom equipment ...I'm with Virgin so I think I'm ok

USA law Phone sex is legal and according to LL they have to follow United states law

No they don't, the whole ageplay child avatar thing was led by German laws. The blog also states:

"And, because there are a variety of conflicting gambling regulations around the world we have chosen to restrict gambling in Second Life".

So they don't just abide by US laws.

I am not talking about Underaged sex , but PHONE SEX is LEGAL IN the USA and yes they have to follow United states laws since there California Based Company

UNDERAGED SEX IS AGIANST THE LAW! but i am NOT talking about Undersaged sex

Watch late night tv , 100's of commericals for prono chat lines, prono mags with 1000's of phone sex lines , yes PHONE SEX is Legal in the USA

99.9 percent of phone sex numbers are not based in the US

The child AV's weren't underaged, but depictions of children are illegal in Germany, hence the ban on that.

Phone sex is not legal all over the world, LL respond to laws in countries other than the US. Typing in caps does not make your point any more valid

LL has to abide by US LAW Hence the ban on gambling there a California BASED company and i can type in capts if i want to. Yes 1 800 and 1900 phone numbers are USA phonelines

I am not talking about underaged sex! PHONE SEX IS LEGAL IN THE USA that is the only laws there entiled to follow is UNITED STATES LAW!

I'm not talking about underage sex either, I'm talking about adults pretending to be underaged, many felt it wasn't illegal in the US, LL said it is illegal in other countries and banned it. The people were not underage.

LL state in their blog that there are gambling laws in countries other than the US that they might fall foul of, ergo they don't just abide by US laws.

Phone sex is not legal all over the world, LL could therefore ban the sex industry using this reason.

But banning the sex industry would be much harder. Head to a club, get an IM from another AV "Want sex 500L" No need for advertising. So unless they are going to monitor all IMs the cyber for $ will be very hard to kill.

I guess they could have people AR those who perform the act, but that will just drive up the asking price and Lindens will be transfered as soon as they are paid.

Banning all sex, will end this place.

You can type in Caps if you like honey, but it generally loses you the argument for doing so.

AND

Actually no. This service is available on many continents - the US is NOT the only legal jurisdiction in the world. No one was saying about purely what is local to you, or being offensive to you, just stating their own point.

As Ciaran said, BT have a specific clause stating no obscenity is to be conveyed on their phone lines or network. Which makes at least 75% of home internet use dodgy since most people are using it to get their jollies one way or another.

Most phone chat lines probably are made up mainly of advertisements anyway. Or based out of the Caymen Islands or whatever.

TSK so true. That's actually what I find offensive about escorts in a nutshell by the way. Not the practice, the crappy IM culture it encourages and the crappy IMs I get myself. Yeah right noob ... dream on!

hehe that sounds like an internets statistic to me.

Im sure there are many of the actual phone sex workers who ARE in the US - simply becuase of the language used, and the fact that I know a handful of women in SL who used to do it for a living.

And one who still runs a phone sex line company complete with employees and everything.

Still I imagine plenty are incorporated outside the US for Tax reasons (and possibly legal ones).
