Adult Content – Another Example of Unenforced Rules
I have blogged before on how disappointing I find it that so many people are flouting the rules when it comes to traffic gaming and that they are facing no consequences. Frankly, it just makes the rules pointless and a waste of the time it took to clarify and implement them.
And unfortunately, it seems to be a similar story for the adult content regulations.
“Promoted sexual content,” according to the Linden Lab guidelines, should be held on adult regions, that is to say the regions that can only be accessed by those who have taken steps to verify that they are over the age of 18.
There are certain words that cannot be searched without having adult search enabled. But a number of related searches (even down to ‘skins’) will bring back locations that absolutely cannot possibily be called anything other than “orgy venues.” Photorealistic nudity, escorts, sexual activity right there in the location…. this is not adult content? Yet around the grid erotic exhibitions etc are relocating to adult locations to avoid the wrath of the Lindens?
Some consistency please?
‘Sex Island’ for example is a full sim with a mature rating. Escorts, large pictures of genitals and so on operate openly. Sexylife Island is much the same and this is just two of several I came across in a ten minute search.
Why even bother with these rules if they are not going to be enforced? I personally think that the whole idea of a separate adult content is stupid anyway. If the registration process was more efficient, there would be no need for an “optional” age verification setup on top of it. But after all the chaos about the adult move, after the removal of various art exhibits and enforced migration to the adult continent for businesses who relied on being accessible to everyone… why should a select few get away with flouting the rules?
Take this, for example… a fine example of something not classified as adult content.
If this is NOT adult content, then I apparently lack any concept of what defines adult.
Ok, granted, the Lindens probably do not have the resources to be monitoring every sim every day for adult content. But an entire sim called “Sex Island?” Well, if that doesn’t make one single Linden think, “Maybe I should just go check that out,” nothing will.

I was going to admonish you, young man, for not providing a SLURL, but Eggy smacked me and typed in “Sex Island” in search (an amazing feat given paws) and I have to say you are correct on this one – minus one thing.
The fatty porn is the real issue here. We tried to interview this creature but she would not cooperative. As you can see she would not even stay long enough to fully rez.

Even after I identified myself as a pretend member of the blog police, she ran and I gave chase. It was then I noticed the crowd remarking I was quite the “chubby chaser” and departed as she fled into the air.

I am pretty sure I am banned from that sim btw.

Good work fella – well, fellas as Adric chasing the naked lady is also a fine example of someone undertaking Jesus’ work. Your reward will be in Heaven Adric – you’ll get there when the Sex Islanders catch you. KEEP RUNNING YOU FOOL!
