Linden Labs has been on an express quest to institute an "Adult Content" filtering and segregation system. Linden Labs(LL) claims that there is a "Small Percentage" of residents that wish this feature. But instead of providing a "Small Area" for these people to hide from the adult content, LL has instead decided to turn the SL world upside down by instituting:
1) A segregated continent were all mainland parcel holders will be banished to should they wish to continue providing adult service
2) Adult Search filtering without publishing a list of those key words that would flag a classified ad as adult
3) Requiring "Age Verification" without having a tested and Universally acceptable method of verification
4) Once Verified, a user Still needs to Turn On adult content in order to get a complete and fair listing of classified
5) Provided No way for a resident to have Both Adult material, and Non-adult material in the same parcel or sim without having the whole sim flagged as adult
6) Provided no Clear and definitive definition as to what constitutes "Adult Content"
7) Not providing technical means for age verification for Dutch users (and possibly citizens of other countries).
As has been demonstrated the vast MAJORITY of SL residents do not want this instituted. Yet LL seems hell bent on shoving this down all our throats. Alternatives have been offered that would be far less disruptive to the community as a whole. They include
1) Marking prims or walls as "Adult" or "Private" so that those viewers that are not "Adult Verified" or "Allowed Access" can not See or Hear through them, and could not transport inside them. This would not only SOLVE the adult content problem, but would offer true privacy to SL residents.
2) Make a "G" rated only continent where non-adult verified residence would be limited to.
These two simple things could be instituted very easily, the second one being the easiest.
This request is for Linden Labs to Stop all further and future Implementation of any Adult Filtering or Migration of Adult Vendors on Mainland, until such time as a well thought out, effective, non-disruptive and acceptable plan, as agreed upon by the Majority of the Second Life Community.
Understand that I am not saying LL should not have some sort of way for those that are not Morally or Mentally capable of viewing adult material, to be able to protect themselves. What I am proposing that LL come up with a way to do it that will be Minimally disruptive and acceptable to the vast majority of residents that like SL the way it is.
I thank you all for your Comments and Votes, Please remember that this is Not a public forum for the discussion of the adult content issue, but rather a technical and procedural request for adjustment, clarification and institution of a service that would benefit the SL community as a whole. Please refrain from Flaming or Fighting, but provide useful and constructive comments only.

[ For those who are interested in having sex with dead people - there is no reason for alarm.
"Sex" is a filtered keyword.
"Necrophilia" is not.

Description

Linden Labs has been on an express quest to institute an "Adult Content" filtering and segregation system. Linden Labs(LL) calms that there is a "Small Percentage" of residents that wish this feature. But instead of providing a "Small Area" for these people to hide from the adult content, LL has instead decided to turn the SL world upside down by instituting
1) A segregated continent were all mainland parcel holders will be banished to should they wish to continue providing adult service
2) Instituted Adult Search filtering without publishing a list of those key words that would flag a classified ad as adult
3) Requiring "Age Verification" without having a tested and Universally acceptable method of verification
4) Once Verified, a user Still needs to Turn On adult content in order to get a complete and fair listing of classified
5) Provided No way for a resident to have Both Adult material, and Non-adult material in the same parcel or sim without having the whole sim flaged as adult
6) Provided no Clear and definitive definition as to what constitutes "Adult Content"
7) Not providing technical means for age verification for Dutch users (and possibly citizens of other countries).
As has been demonstrated the vast MAJORITY or SL residence do not want this instituted. Yet LL seems hell bent on shoving this down all our throats. Alternatives have been offered that would be far less disruptive to the community as a whole. They include
1) Marking prims or walls as "Adult" or "Private" so that those viewers that are not "Adult Verified" or "Allowed Access" can not See or Hear through them, and could not transport inside them. This would not only SOLVE the adult content problem, but would offer true privacy to SL residence
2) Make a "G" rated only continent where non-adult verified residence would be limited to.
These two simple things could be instituted very easily, the second one being the easiest.
This request is for Linden Labs to Stop all further and future Implementation of any Adult Filtering or Migration of Adult Vendors on Mainland, until such time as a well thought out, effective, non-disruptive and acceptable plan, as agreed upon by the Majority of the Second Life Community.
Understand that I am not saying LL should not have some sort of way for those that are not Morally or Mentally capable of viewing adult material, to be able to protect themselves. What I am proposing that LL come up with a way to do it that will be Minimally disruptive and acceptable to the vast majority of residence that like SL the way it is.
I thank you all for your Comments and Votes, Please remember that this is Not a public forum for the discussion of the adult content issue, but rater a technical and procedural request for adjustment, clarification and institution of a service that would benefit the SL community as a whole. Please reframe from Flaming or Fighting, but provide useful and constructive comments only

[ no i really wasn't trying to be shortsighted, i do agree a boycott will work if people don't start dropping out before the point is made, but what about paying tier during the boycott do you pay or not and lose your land, if it takes a bit of time and i'm not trying to get you fired up because i really do care about what you think about all this BS:) and as i said i know i don't like where things are going but i'll admit i don't know what to do that will really work and am interested in what others have to say about it:) and i don't want to see what happened to the casino owners happen here and i think a well made point was about the list of filtered words being written by people in the USA for people in the USA. and i think it's a very kool thing when a flaw in what i have said is pointed out so i can rethink things and look at the issue in a different light.

[ i understand what you are saying about staying offline but i think the people it will hit the hardest will be the SL merchants who will lose income during the time nobody logs on, LL has millions and can wait things out for a while, the merchant who just makes enough to get by cannot, i think if people downed graded back to a free basic accounts and abandon land that might make a bigger impact but not many can do that either because most of us have put too much RL money into what we have, i really don't know what to do but i know i don't like to be told where i can go or what i can look at, the highest courts in the US can't even define issues like this as to what is and what is not "adult", when you agree to the TOS you pretty much give LL the right to do what they will with inworld issues. that's just how i see it and everybody has the right to disagree with me,if they wish:)

[ If you care about your privacy while using xstreetsl.com. Please have a look at.

This is just another example why it is a very, very bad idea to provide any personal information to Linden Lab.

Since you don't understand that furry != adult, and obviously don't know the meaning of the word gender... *shakes head*
So anyway, I've been thinking and the only way we're ever going to get past this is education, because, well, just look at what we're up against from people on the fence.

2) Adult Search filtering without publishing a list of those key words that would flag a classified ad as adult
3) Requiring "Age Verification" without having a tested and Universally acceptable method of verification
4) Once Verified, a user Still needs to Turn On adult content in order to get a complete and fair listing of classified
5) Provided No way for a resident to have Both Adult material, and Non-adult material in the same parcel or sim without having the whole sim flagged as adult
6) Provided no Clear and definitive definition as to what constitutes "Adult Content"
7) Not providing technical means for age verification for Dutch users (and possibly citizens of other countries).
As has been demonstrated the vast MAJORITY of SL residents do not want this instituted. Yet LL seems hell bent on shoving this down all our throats. Alternatives have been offered that would be far less disruptive to the community as a whole. They include
1) Marking prims or walls as "Adult" or "Private" so that those viewers that are not "Adult Verified" or "Allowed Access" can not See or Hear through them, and could not transport inside them. This would not only SOLVE the adult content problem, but would offer true privacy to SL residents.
2) Make a "G" rated only continent where non-adult verified residence would be limited to.
These two simple things could be instituted very easily, the second one being the easiest.
This request is for Linden Labs to Stop all further and future Implementation of any Adult Filtering or Migration of Adult Vendors on Mainland, until such time as a well thought out, effective, non-disruptive and acceptable plan, as agreed upon by the Majority of the Second Life Community.
Understand that I am not saying LL should not have some sort of way for those that are not Morally or Mentally capable of viewing adult material, to be able to protect themselves. What I am proposing that LL come up with a way to do it that will be Minimally disruptive and acceptable to the vast majority of residents that like SL the way it is.
I thank you all for your Comments and Votes, Please remember that this is Not a public forum for the discussion of the adult content issue, but rather a technical and procedural request for adjustment, clarification and institution of a service that would benefit the SL community as a whole. Please refrain from Flaming or Fighting, but provide useful and constructive comments only.

1) Marking prims or walls as "Adult" or "Private" so that those viewers that are not "Adult Verified" or "Allowed Access" can not See or Hear through them, and could not transport inside them. This would not only SOLVE the adult content problem, but would offer true privacy to SL residents.
2) Make a "G" rated only continent where non-adult verified residence would be limited to.
These two simple things could be instituted very easily, the second one being the easiest.
This request is for Linden Labs to Stop all further and future Implementation of any Adult Filtering or Migration of Adult Vendors on Mainland, until such time as a well thought out, effective, non-disruptive and acceptable plan, as agreed upon by the Majority of the Second Life Community.
Understand that I am not saying LL should not have some sort of way for those that are not Morally or Mentally capable of viewing adult material, to be able to protect themselves. What I am proposing that LL come up with a way to do it that will be Minimally disruptive and acceptable to the vast majority of residents that like SL the way it is.
I thank you all for your Comments and Votes, Please remember that this is Not a public forum for the discussion of the adult content issue, but rather a technical and procedural request for adjustment, clarification and institution of a service that would benefit the SL community as a whole. Please refrain from Flaming or Fighting, but provide useful and constructive comments only.

{panel:title=UNDER ADVISEMENT| borderStyle=dashed| borderColor=#ccc| titleBGColor=#F7D6C1| bgColor=#FFFFCE}Good Afternoon Everyone! While this issue has received a tremendous amount of attention from the community we feel that that this is not the best place to be voicing your concerns. This issue tracker is used by developers and engineers and this has turned into an issue of policy. A blog has been posted with a discussion thread https://blogs.secondlife.com/community/features/blog/2009/06/01/adult-content-changes-in-summary and you can sign a resident created letter of protest http://www.slapt.me/wiki/index.php/An_Open_Letter_to_Linden_Lab. Also, feel free to attend Blondin's weekly Office Hours http://slurl.com/secondlife/Hanley/205/218/25/ on Weds at 330pm PST.

Linden Labs has been on an express quest to institute an "Adult Content" filtering and segregation system. Linden Labs(LL) claims that there is a "Small Percentage" of residents that wish this feature. But instead of providing a "Small Area" for these people to hide from the adult content, LL has instead decided to turn the SL world upside down by instituting:
1) A segregated continent were all mainland parcel holders will be banished to should they wish to continue providing adult service
2) Adult Search filtering without publishing a list of those key words that would flag a classified ad as adult
3) Requiring "Age Verification" without having a tested and Universally acceptable method of verification
4) Once Verified, a user Still needs to Turn On adult content in order to get a complete and fair listing of classified
5) Provided No way for a resident to have Both Adult material, and Non-adult material in the same parcel or sim without having the whole sim flagged as adult
6) Provided no Clear and definitive definition as to what constitutes "Adult Content"
7) Not providing technical means for age verification for Dutch users (and possibly citizens of other countries).
As has been demonstrated the vast MAJORITY of SL residents do not want this instituted. Yet LL seems hell bent on shoving this down all our throats. Alternatives have been offered that would be far less disruptive to the community as a whole. They include
1) Marking prims or walls as "Adult" or "Private" so that those viewers that are not "Adult Verified" or "Allowed Access" can not See or Hear through them, and could not transport inside them. This would not only SOLVE the adult content problem, but would offer true privacy to SL residents.
