I hope very much that the jira is the right way to bring this matter to the attention of the people at Linden Labs.

Would the snailmail notification be automated? Would they be able to send to other countries without charging the account trying to verify? How big is Elvis Presley's mailbox?

The things that involve RL interaction thru routes other than the verification page and the client itself I think might botter some people who have privacy concerns though.

But I do like the idea of parental lock, though it shouldn't just lock the changing of the rating, but also if the rating was set anything but PG it should also downgrade the rating and lock it in place as PG

and to help parents spy on their kids (since they don't feel like taking care of them when they need), when the unlocking password is entered wrong, it should be stored on a encrypted log (that if edited, erased or replaced with somtyhing other than the true log will be made clear that it was tampered with), optionally sending an email to an email address set by the parent, and next time the password is entered correctly if the log got any entries since it was last locked it should be brought up and displayed, showing account used, date, time and any other info that might be useful

In other words, you as a privacy minded person registers with the verification service and sufficiently proves your age, or whatever credentials are required. You do not tell them why you are registering. They give you a registration number.

Then you go to second life, and give that registration number, which they can then use to verify your status without giving Linden Labs your real name. That way neither end can connect your name with your activities.
