predictable experience

The community standards have altered, adult sims are finally recognised and we have, well yet again a case of Linden Lab doublespeak.

This gem appears:

"Adult Regions, Groups, and Listings
Second Life is an adult community, but 'Adult' content, activity and communication are not permitted on the Second Life 'mainland.' Such material is permitted on private regions, or on the Adult Continent, Zindra. In either case, any Adult content, activity, or communication, that falls under our Adult Maturity Definition must be on regions designated as 'Adult,' and will be filtered from non-verified accounts. Other regions may be designated as either 'Mature' or 'PG.' For more information on how to designate land, events, groups, and classified listings, please carefully read the 'Maturity Definitions.' "

Now to me, that reads as if all adult activity is banned from mainland, the whole kit and caboodle, that's your private residential pixel bumping banned. Linden Lab have said this isn't the case previously, but if I were a new user that is most certainly how I'd read that.

However I'm not a new user and have some faith that Linden Lab will actually be true to their word on adult activity in so called private spaces but, and it's rather a big but, were I new I'd also find it far from predictable to discover that adult activity is allowed. { Read more }
