SL for the most part is a liberal, atheistic/new age community which leans toward buffet style spirituality, thats fine, to each his own, but now the bottom line men want money from the masses so they are cleaning house, When are the progressive / Liberal types ever going to learn

~once you get your utopia up and running, the people who funded you into existence show up, and then, all of a sudden you become aware of “who is paying for this paradise” then the sheepdipped dreamers are executed or banished~ ask trotsky, its “ordo ab chao” time unfortunately.

SL has always been red, Americans just dont know what that means, nobody in sl ever had any say in anything, they just let us build their world into existence for them, now they are culling it and letting you blame non-existent bible thumpers like the terrorists, they dont really exist in our world, corporations dont care about morality-

you’ve all seen the documentary “the corporation” all your work belongs to them, its in the TOS, in sl, you have no rights, no say, no vote, only the allusion of it, the “lindens” are the guardian class, and school is out- thats what made me quit my business, because the people who built this place were the last to know what was up, im still hooked but i get my fix elsewhere now, dont think for one second warcraft isnt being culled too. [for the horde]:P

If the people of sl dont want this adult banishment then they should protest, perhaps you think im in agreement with it, Im not, the sex stuff in sl got on my last nerve and i got sick of ignoring it but i refused to register anything but my middle finger with These b-stards they know who we are.

The porn never made me as disgusted as the corporate porn, the false hype, the in world pimping of their real world crap that they cant sell, its not the furries or the chained girls, or some stripper nun, ceo’s do that in rl, believe me there is nothing in sl that wasn’t going on at bohemian grove in the 1920′s, they are killing our world by degrees and it p-sses me off to no end.

Sorry about the rant, it just upsets me to check in on sl and see how these b-astards wont ever just leave it alone, I was wanting to come back but i see the corporate roaches hate virtual worlds and the internet “would have been better if it had never been invented.”

If that’s actually planned (I haven’t found a source for that yet, but I was thinking about if that is doable before), then there is no need for a segregation of sex content. The cultural diversity of Second Life could stay the same, for verified residents. A much better solution than banning all adult content, and thus supporting commercial sex, but not casual cybering.

To speak 4chan-lingo: Sauce?

I just take that their decision was made based on those statistics. If the statistics are correct or not, well, who does really know…?

The other point is dealing with “eminent domain” issues. When Linden Lab, as a “government” which recognises private property, removes a resident’s private property “for the common good” without that resident having actually done anything wrong (changing the rules mid-way is not really “doing something wrong”), there is due compensation for the loss of propriety and (indirectly) loss of profit.

How exactly Linden Lab thinks to compensate residents “forced” to move is a difficult question. I’d go for the simplest method myself: forfeit the costs of buying new land. I also might agree this is not enough: what about, for instance, all landmarks and SLURLs on notecards pointing to old locations? Also, how do you measure the “value” of a location? I would certainly plan this quite well — preferably with the resident “forced” to move — before evicting them out of their properties. It’s the only fair way to deal with it.

@Zillow, I should not discuss Metaplace yet Raph Koster suggested that I’d join the Metaplace Evangelist Program and word my opinions about it, but, alas, I’ve declined doing so. I’m waiting for the Open Beta and the removal of any restrictions to publish my thoughts
