What are community standards? A poll.

Even in consensual roleplay sims using the various health meters?

DCUR bans any but 2 weapons makers, and anything more than the 'dcs bullet' is disallowed - it only applies to metered combat.

Guns outside fo combat sims I agree..but there are general combat sims and roleplay ones as well.

I voted honestly, for sexual age play, greifing, and witch hunts,
but LL's CONSTANT bugs offend me more then anything.

I voted for greifing and witch hunts.

Sexual ageplay I can't put a blanket opinion on.

Sexual ageplay with 'virtual' children - wrong in my eyes

Sexual ageplay where an adult av dresses and/or acts like a child, but has the 'body' of an adult - alright in my eyes

The former would be comparible to actual children involved rl

The latter would be that 18 year old wearing a schoolgirl outfit and calling you 'daddy'

They only gave me 10 options to work with

Your first definition of ageplay "Sexual ageplay with 'virtual' children" is the accepted SL definition it seems. Your second definition "Sexual ageplay where an adult av dresses and/or acts like a child, but has the 'body' of an adult" is the RL definition of ageplay that may well some day in the near future get lumped into the rest of the "broadly offensive". But I would wager that 90% of those in SL when seeing the word "ageplay" think of child av/adult av sex.

None of those as is offend me. Sexual ageplay with child avatars offends me and I agree that should be banned. However I have no objection to sexual ageplay with adult avatars.

The thing I find interesting is how people keep kidding themselves into thinking we are entitled to the same RL freedoms in SL. RL isn't made by a company that wants to attract customers, it's made by blood and pain and sufferring with a beautiful backdrop.

At this point, if you don't want to play the game by LL's rules (which are made to have as much freedom as possible while still covering their asses and attracting money) then build your own virtual world/game or shut up.

You let off "RL images of ..." (murder, torture, rape, child molestation, ...), which I would have checked as objectionable.

I guess "Witch hunts" includes "whistleblowers" ... so it's the only category marked.

Seeing I spend perhaps 5% of my time online on my land I find that being able to freeze . eject ban on other peoples land also necessary, seeing that's not practical I settle for cage & orbit instead.

Well, "slave owner" (I'm sure you are ARable for that), who made the "beautiful backdrop"? I was here in Feb. 04. SL wasn't much to look at then. Anything that's eyecatching was made by a resident. And it's the contributions of those residents that attract more residents.

I made an alt just to vote on this poll. Just sayin.

No, don't shut up. You may not effect change, but if you silently conform to everything thrown at you even if it is against all you stand for, then you truly have given up your freedom. It's human nature to want to better our existence, to right wrongs, even percieved ones, to challenge authority. LL likes to say WE are the Community, start acting like one. Speaking out together is what communities do. Try to effect change. If you are unsuccesful, you can always move on. But never silently accept things ..just because someone said so.

Voice Of Freedom

Encourage as many people as possible to join and share discussion and news on this. This decree reaches much farther than just sexplays, the vauge terminology of the blogpost leaves almost anything open to scrutiny. Weapon makers, users, distributors should be concerned. Many Many RPers of all types should be concerned. Gor players should be concerned. People living an alternative Second Lifestyle should be concerned. Combat players should be concerned. Vamp players should be concerned. Rough Urban Players should be concerned. Furrie Players should be concerned. BDSM players should be concerned. Anyone who rents land to people should be concerned. The multitude of people that distribute/sell/promote items that can be used in any of the things listed should be concerned. Anyone that can think of any of their actions and decide if they at times may be "broadly offensive: to someone should be concerned about this.

Ever wonder what happens when the bozos decide what is offensive?


[2.20. Have the Oz books ever been banned, edited, or censored?

Sadly, yes. There have been several recent attempts to remove The Wizard of Oz from school libraries or reading lists. None have been successful, so far as I've been able to discover, although some school students in Tennessee and Louisiana have been excused from reading the book on religious grounds. Some reasons critics have given, for example, is that the book depicts good witches, which they claim is theologically impossible, and that animals are elevated to the same level as humans. ...

Unfortunately.

Personally I see nothing wrong with it, and wish that SL's ageplay had done it that way to start.. But even if I hate the former category, I am not the one to police it, and it isn't only my opinion.
