Does anyone know what the guidelines are for PG sims? I have seen adult entertainment ads and casinos in PG and have both near me in a PG sim where I live. Are there any kind of published guidelines about what is PG and how are they enforced?

I found the following information on the Knowledge base on the website for you:

Indecency
Second Life is an adult community, but Mature material is not necessarily appropriate in all areas (see Global Standards below). Content, communication, or behavior which involves intense language or expletives, nudity or sexual content, the depiction of sex or violence, or anything else broadly offensive must be contained within private land in areas rated Mature (M). Names of Residents, objects, places and groups are broadly viewable in Second Life directories and on the Second Life website, and must adhere to PG guidelines.

Global Standards, Local Ratings
All areas of Second Life, including the www.secondlife.com website and the Second Life Forums, adhere to the same Community Standards. Locations within Second Life are noted as Safe or Unsafe and rated Mature (M) or non-Mature (PG), and behavior must conform to the local ratings. Any unrated area of Second Life or the Second Life website should be considered non-Mature (PG).

I hope this helps.

Sounds like it really like the difference between R and XXX.

That doesn't bode well for LLs efforts to become more of a RL educational platform.

I've asked this question on live-help before when i was trying to figure out whether or not it would be appropriate to sell a shirt that said " crack whore" on a PG sim.. and basically the answer i got was you can pretty much compare pg sims to like what would be okay to say on tv. And even though kids are not allowed on the main grid when thinking in terms of pg .. just think: is it something appropriate for a kid to see? If its not than its probably not acceptable for PG
