I don't agree that 'children have no place in OSW' but neither do I feel like pushing luck with various laws, and God only knows what strangers will get up to on your lands and grids. Families exist in RL and many like to have them on OS and SL too. Sadly, we can't have that freedom, due to a**holes.
I have had to boot and ban people who have brought in obviously 'not of age' bots and such, even this is not okay.
I've decided to turn all my public regions on both my Grids to Adult rating, due to this unfortunate situation of people ruining it for others.
On our private sims, we have families, and these are people very well known to me. Nice, decent, non freaky folk who really enjoy making a family as part of roleplay there. But if I don't personally know who ever is behind the wheel, so to speak, ain't happening.
It's such a shame.
As mentioned here over and over, there are really creative and adorable outfits and avies for kids. Shame we can only ever enjoy them on private places now, due to the sickos and the jeopardy they are willing to put everyone in :(
So from starting today, NO child avatars on any of my public lands. Really sucks, I was going to have a couple of kid friendly places soon. Nahhh .. it just isn't worth it. Thank you Safine for a very calm and intelligent write up about all this. It really made me have to think about things, and I concluded it's just not worth even trying.
