Still pretty vague." if this is the case there shouldnt be too much trouble for roleplayers and people using guns and swords, SL graphic possibilities are bellow what GTA can do and the graphics in GTA arent that good really in the blood material. so i feel a lot more safe now, we'll just have to wait and see what else will be considered offending. i think most of the stuff will be sex related. in any case Linden Lab made a mistake when they intervened in the scandal, if they had simply said: "we put out the platform the residents create the content." then the pressure would be on the age-players. just like when people find something offensive on the internet they dont sue the internet providers but the website creator. hopefully its not too late for Linden Lab to pull out and make everything clear again so we can all take a deap breath and start enjoying sl again in clear conscience well that is pretty interesting. the thing that caught my eyes the most was “At the moment, they’re not going after Gor and BDSM, and “extreme violence” seems to be equated with Rotten.com levels of graphic depiction, while GTA videogame violence should be okay.
