misstoriblack Resident Want to have things outside the home but on the land that are adult and not interested in opening a club.

Foulcault Mechanique What are you trying to place that you think you can't? Are you sure you are tripping across the covenant rules regarding what can be placed outside (what some might consider ugly or distasteful like a gallows or guillotine (just examples) versus being tastefully adult like a shibari ring?

Has you been told to remove items from your yard?

Cuddles Supply Yes I got told to remove these items by a Linden staffer who saw them. it was a dildo machine and a cage that had shibari erotic art on it.

Foulcault Mechanique I would love to see some Linden Homes attached to Zindra for premium and premium plus with water access. Perhaps a loosening of restrictions on out door furnishings like the type you mentioned, but no businesses or clubs.

Foulcault Mechanique I wouldn't call it a problem. It could be done. It would be rather pointless though and that is what I was trying to point out. You won't be able to advertise it as a sex club or public hangout because LH must be strictly residential and technically unable to show in search. And as I pointed out, you can already do the very same things in a M rated LH, but only inside the house and a skybox. And yes, just because you have some loungers or anything in your front yard that contains sex poses, if the item's visuals don't contain sexually explicit features and the privacy setting to hide avatars is enabled on the parcel, as well as sound restriction in case the furniture or your HUDs would play sounds, you can have those outdoors. It is up to any Linden's discretion actually, but generally shouldn't be a problem. So I still don't know what advantage an Adult rated LH could have over the M rated ones, why should LL spend a lot of time, effort and money on making them, placing hundreds of regions in a secluded landmass instead of connecting existing parts of Bellisseria and Mainland (they won't put A rated regions next to M rated landmasses), most of which won't be sought after by many people because of reasons mentioned by others below. Gore, tasteless posters, certain deviant "kinks" that are too much for even those of us that are in fact active in the adult side of SL, and of course the constant possibility that random people will hit on you in IM while you're just sitting at home. On the other hand, it would make some sense to have all of you people with this certain desire move to a secluded A rated LH landmass and then the M rated ones would be safer in theory. Yet again you can have it in Zindra and Horizons regions already, so it still seems too redundant and pointless.

AlettaMondragon Resident I am well aware of the adult ratings and how they different from the rest I was here when they made Adult rating. The issue is Adult rating is a new thing they had to make and so they had to make Zindra. They didn't have to make Bellisaria but they did to section off the premium homes from the main gride. They can just as easy make (and roll out with demand) an adult Linden Home grid just like they did Bellissaria. We aren't asking for much. We are asking to "Customize Your Home -Furnish your home and decorate to reflect your tastes." but are forced to do it in a system that won't allow us to do it because they put limitations of ratings on the system that they can fix (and could have from the start) by rolling out adult regions.

Foulcault Mechanique "The issue is Adult rating is a new thing they had to make and so they had to make Zindra."

I wouldn't call it new, it exists since 2009. Something that was done 16 years ago wouldn't be new in the real world either, but in SL it is ancient.

Horizons is one of the areas where the Lab tried to make something more civilized than classic mainland, in fact Zindra isn't much different either, but in Horizons you get pretty much the same as in a LH, and it's adult rated. Of course you need to buy the land and it doesn't come with a default house, but you get a roadside or even waterfront parcel, clearly laid out 32x32 plot, not many neighbors, and most importantly a double LI allowance.

BUT

Zindra was the victim of the great recession as well as the Gaeta continents, and as a result it was never completed. If there is a growing need for adult rated land that Zindra and Horizons cannot supply for any reason, it would be a good idea to build adult rated LH regions in a way that would complete Zindra's southeastern and southwestern areas. For that one reason only it could be a good idea.

AlettaMondragon Resident Sorry for calling it new. I don't keep track of time but arguing new or not seems silly as well. To me it is new cause it is the last real rating thing they did. I don't care where they make the adult land. I have lived on Zindra and on Mainland. At the end of the day it would be nice to have the option since they seem to be wanting to enforce the ratings. It limits people on wanting to put things out on their land and forces the use of skyboxes and other things for what they can hide. As for what you consider a good idea and what others consider to be a good seems to be different. I happen to think adding adult Linden Homes would be great for many reasons. It just seems there is a difference of opinions.

Foulcault Mechanique It is a matter of practicality as well, whether or not to start building hundreds of regions just so you can have a LH where you can rez dildos outside the house. Labeling this as freedom of self expression is even funnier, but oh well. Technically those LH regions could go to many other places where they would be much more useful but in that case they cannot be adult. It seems like your priority is that you should be able to have your dildos in places where others can see them from outside your land. This is why I said Zindra and Horizons already provide what you need.

Ophelia Nightwish If only they wouldn't cram the regions so full of homes... In the past 'adult' was defined not only by erotics but also 'extreme violence'. Imagine your romantic erotic home having a nearby neighbour who delights in having zombie slaughter scenes on the roof... I'd have to do an awful lot of derendering in Firestorm.

Ikaros Alphathen you can talk to your neighbors and attempt to see if you all come to a conclusion. That is what my neighbors did if they had issues with me on the M land. Heck I had to do it on M and A cause of clubs and their patrons landing on my property and being rude.

Foulcault Mechanique I'm just pointing out that different perceptions exist of what should be 'adult'.

Ikaros Alpha yeah and I lived that way for years in Zindra until LL raised their prices. Also you have the option of moving linden homes if you and your new neighbors cannot come to an agreement which is alot easier than when you have to buy the land and a bad neighbor moves in.

Ikaros Alpha It's not really a matter of perception but this: https://community.secondlife.com/knowledgebase/english/maturity-ratings-r52/#Section__1_4 You are right, "representations of intensely violent acts, for example depicting death, torture, dismemberment or other severe bodily harm, whether or not photo-realistic" is still adult content. So you can bet on that you'd get a neighbor with a death camp around their house in an adult rated LH sooner or later.

Foulcault Mechanique If only we could just locate a free home and "click" get it. But even when I was Premium Plus it took too long to contact someone to get a specific one because of timezones. (I gave up on Premium Plus after Vix Linden was suddenly exit and the extra concierge service evaporated.)
