Now THAT I under...<i>Why no 30-days-or-less avatars? </i><br /><br />Now THAT I understand - because it's commonly thought that a lot of griefers use a throwaway alt - which will usually be under 30 days. <br /><br />I'm not saying it's right... people with a grudge or who feel they've been slighted will still be a$$holes...but for anyone using an account they just made for purposes of doing something stupid? Yea, it'll put a dent in that.Sphynx Soleilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08384124029613452884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2135301473915671680.post-43110328351330263662010-08-19T20:27:57.018-07:002010-08-19T20:27:57.018-07:00I'd say easily half the grid has nothing to wo...I'd say easily half the grid has nothing to worry about. Anyone in a PG zone who's not restricting their own content is foolish anyway; anyone in Adult zones, while they have to accept that everyone verified Adult actually IS, is--legally, anyway--fine as well: they had every expectation that those they interacted with were actually age-verified to be Adult in truth.<br /><br />It's everyone in the middle that needs to worry--and especially, roleplayers and social gathering places in Mature sims. What's the dividing line for teens in Mature areas? Is there one, or are they supposed to be restricted ONLY to PG locales? <br /><br />In the wake of the announcement, I've noticed another disturbing trend: many merchants have locked their stores to people younger than a month on the grid. Why no 30-days-or-less avatars? No idea. But the two seem to be connected.Emilly Orrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07245643246821826101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2135301473915671680.post-62133987843058140382010-08-19T20:15:19.713-07:002010-08-19T20:15:19.713-07:00I honestly don't know about the teen issue. My...I honestly don't know about the teen issue. My experience with the so-called adults on the grid is enough to make me despair for humanity. The youngsters are going to have to work pretty hard to measure up to a lot of the asshattery I have seen from folks far, far older than 17.<br />Of those I have met who identified as either new grads of teen grid or kids (at Oxbridge, mainly) the worst were just dumbasses doing silly stuff or shooting. The best were amazing people.<br /> But I also have less at stake from the standpoint of potential consequences in dealing with teens, so take it for what it's worth.Aunt Foggyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09822854807566491775noreply@blogger.com
