Posted to the forums here.

First we’ll define the terms and talk a bit about them.

Ratings: PG / Mature / Adult

These are set region wide. It is set by going to World->Region/Estate->Region->Rating and selecting from a drop down box. You can not set these on a per parcel basis. These are intended as a tool for the general population, not land owners.  They’re intended to be used to ensure informed consent to the sorts of activities they’re likely to encounter when entering an unknown region.  That is, it is intended to protect residents.  They allow for a more predictable and consistent Second Life experience.  While there are restrictions on who can enter an Adult region, that is not it’s primary purpose.

Adult regions can only be entered by avatars that either have given payment information to LL, or have gone successfully gone through the age verification process.

Parcel Restrictions: Age Verified / Payment Info on Record

These are set on a per-parcel or per-estate basis by going to World->About Land->Access->Block Access By or  World->Region/Estate->Estate->Restrict Access To and checking either Residents who have not given payment info to Linden Lab or Residents who are not age verified adults. These are intended to allow the parcel owner to keep out people they view as undesirable.  These exist to protect land owners, not residents.  There are no circumstances under which either of these ever must be set.  They are entirely optional.  If you use either of these, you will be cutting off a significant percentage of the SL population.

Land Options: Mature Content

And to add to the confusion there’s also a “Mature Content” land option, that’s independent of all of these.  It’s in World->About Land->Options->Land Options->Mature Content. The wiki has this to say about it: One of the region maturity ratings is “Mature”, but parcels are not required to have mature content on Mature rated land. This item is intended to indicate that there is mature content on the parcel. Further, the knowledge base has this to say: If your Region is listed as Mature and you would like to show mature objects in search, check the Mature Content box in the About Land window’s Options tab.

LAND OWNER FAQ

Q. My region is rated Mature but my parcel has Adult content. Can my parcel be rated as Adult without effecting the rest of the region?
A. No. You’ll either have to get the region’s rated as Adult, or you’ll have to move to a different region (or the new Adult mainland, Zindra). (Or of course, you can drop your Adult content.)

Q. My parcel is on a Mature island but has Adult content, but that’s ok if I restrict the parcel to age-verified only right?

A. No, that’s wrong. Adult content can only be on land that is rated as Adult not Mature. This means either the entire island is Adult, or you’re on Zindra, the Adult mainland. Simply restricting access to your parcel does not meet the Linden Labs requirements.

Q. My region is marked as Adult, I also have to flag my parcel as age-verified if I want to allow explicit sexual activity on it, right?

A. No, you are never required to restrict your parcel to requiring either age verification or payment info. Those are entirely optional and left to your own discretion. They’re intended to allow you to exclude people you view as undesirable. Remember that many people outside the US (and even inside the US) can’t use the age verification services as they either don’t work with international credentials or are incomplete or incorrect regarding even US credentials.

Q. My parcel sells primarily non-adult items, but does sell some adult items as well.  Am I required to be in an Adult region?

A. No, you are only required to not have any Adult search terms in your parcel descriptions, or the items flagged as showing up in search (or in your classifieds).  If you’ve received a “your land has Adult keywords” mail from LL, look for objects that are set to be indexed by the search engine.  It’s easy miss some of these.

Q. My home is on Mature land but I have a sex bed inside, do I have to move to Adult land?

A. No, you only have to move to Adult land if your activities are in public or are publicly promoted.  What you do privately with someone (or someones) close to you is your own business (unless you make your walls transparent =p).

RESIDENT FAQ

Q. How do I become “adult verified” and gain access to regions that are rated Adult?

A. If it works for you, the easiest way is to age verify.  However, a significant minority in the US and many many people in other countries can not use this method due to the service provider’s database being incomplete or incorrect.  The other option is to add payment information to your account.  Please note that there is no need to actually spend any money.  Either you can add a debit or credit card to your account.  Or, if you have a verified PayPal account (this means you’ve associated a bank account or a credit card with the paypal account), you can use that as well.  I suggest you read the LL Article on this.

Q. I’ve been told that if I don’t become age verified that I won’t be able to access Adult rated content, is that true?

A. No, you only need to have payment information on file.  Some parcels do restrict access to people who aren’t age verified, but this has nothing to do with the mandatory Adult rating and has nothing to do with LL’s policies.  This is a restriction that is entirely the doing of the land owner.  The land owner may believe they had to, in which case I encourage you to point them at this FAQ.

Q. I can’t age verify or put payment info on file, what about me?

A. You’ll be stuck to Mature and PG regions then.  This certainly isn’t much of an excuse for anyone in the US, as age verification works for most people, and it’s hard to imagine a Second Life user who doesn’t have at least a bank account.  You may not feel comfortable giving your info to PayPal or Linden Labs, but that’s a “won’t” not a “can’t” issue.  You’ll have to balance your desire to have access to Adult regions against your distrust of these institutions.

[Edit: The Second Life Wiki has a good article with further details.  Help save more people the same confusion, vote for the jira ticket to remove the age-verified restriction on access. I also posted this to the official forums. Added discussion of the Mature Content flag. Put September 15th in the past.]

Summer rendered up a breathtakingly beautiful set of prim clothing. The whole set is color change, switching from gold to silver and back. From the really great sculpted boots to the gorgeous prim top and matching belt. The top can reveal your breasts and when doing so, can show sculpted prim nipples (made for our nipple clamps originally) if you choose.

The whole set can be swapped between glinting warm gold or cool soft silver, either per-piece via menus or for the whole set using a chat command.

What’s more it comes with delicate arm, wrist and ankle cuffs scripted for LockMeister and LockGuard, and a pretty jeweled collar in decorative and scripted (Open Collar) versions. And because we wear our clothes ourselves, when you’re wearing the boots (which can’t be worn with the ankle cuffs), you’ll find that the boots are also coded for LockGuard and LockMeister.

And while you’re visiting make sure you get one of the free belly jewels that match the rest of the set. They’ve got a fun little poofer and nicely accent your look.

Get it today from the naughty section of Summer Sim.

Summer and I have put together a fantastic set of nipple clamps. As you can see they look great, and have everything you’d expect from a nice scripted clamped nipples. This is what Summer wrote for our README:

Modeled after real clamps with photoreal textures and shadowing, these clamps were lovingly (and fearfully) crafted to be something for every day use.

There are a ton of options, so please read the notecard carefully (although they are all extremely simple and fast to use):

It comes with a couple of things beyond just the Nipple Clamps:

• Black and White handles. These are copy/trans so feel free to hand them out to anyone you might want to drag you around.
• A Leash Anywhere script that you can put in your own handle, or in posts or other things you want to be able to easily be chained to.

Just click your Nipple Clamps to bring up a menu.

• Options…
  • Only you can see your options.
  • Turn Off and Turn On access to your clamp. While access is off, only you will get a menu clicking on it.
  • Lighten and Darken the color of your nipples. By default it’s very very light, so darkening is probably a good idea.
  • Hide and Show Nipples, which will hide and show the nipples and the clamps, for those times you want to be a little more discreet.
  • Hide and Show Clamps, which will hide and show just the clamps.
• Chain…
  • If you’re wearing a LockMeister compatible handle, such as ours, or you’ve dropped our Leash Anywhere script into your own handle then the first option will be to be “Take Leash” which will attach it to your leash handle.
  • Next will be “Attach To…” which will let you leash to a nearby object with a Leash Anywhere script, or other Seale Sisters clamped nipples, clits or other products.
  • And finally there’ll be all the remaining nearby objects that have scripts in them. This let’s you be leashed to, for instance, objects with Xcite’s ChainAnywhere scripts or OpenCollar’s Leash Post script. This list can be quite long… use Next –> and <– Prev to move through it.
  • Our chain currently limits you to straying no more then five meters from what you’re chained to.
• Clamp, Soothe, Jiggle, etc
  These are some built in emotes that you and others can use.

Buy yourself a set at Summer Sim.

After much too much time, I’ve finally released by addon for poseballs, bondage equipment or anything else you sit on. It’s a little force-sitter script. Yes, there are some things like this out there already but this one is superior in a number of ways.

• This one is copy/notrans, which means with this single purchase you can setup all your stuff. The only other script based solution is nocopy/trans.
• This is a script, not a prim you plop down next your bondage equipment. Why does this matter? When your equipment has more then one thing for you to sit on, non-script solutions can’t help you.
• Money back, satisfaction guarantee– so it’s risk free to try and you know I’ll do what it takes to make things work for you.

You can pick one up today off of Xstreet SL or from the naughty spot on Summer Sim.

Just for fun, here’s my compitition, at least, that I’m aware of, and why I think I’m better then them:

• Restrained Life Adapter Script (force sit for furniture and toys) by Da5id Weatherwax.  He actually has two scripts, one with a touch menu, one that listens on /1 for the name of the object.  Both are nocopy/trans.  My scripts provide a handful of advantages.  First, they have support for both touch for menu and chat command for menu, just by changing their config.  Second, the menus I present show ONLY people with RLV.  His show everyone, making it hard to know if they’ll work at all.  His only force sit and keep you seated.  Mine can do anything RLV can do.
  His are only L$25, but you have to buy one for every poseball or prim you want to add RLV to suppor to, which can add up pretty quick. 
• Restrained life poseball RLV by Chucky Takacs.  It’s nocopy/trans, so again you have to buy one for every piece of bondage gear you want to setup.  It’s provided as a poseball that you can add an animation to and/or link into an existing piece of furniture.  I don’t know about you, but I don’t have raw animations lieing around, so it wasn’t that appealing to me.  What’s more, it puts more restrictions on then I would want, with no way to change them.  It stops you from getting away, yes, but it also blocks your inventory.  It’s advantages are owner lists and timers.  But the owner lists are per poseball so if you’re equipping a dungeon… and at L$299 it’s pretty pricy for single use.  I’ve not tried this so I can’t speak for if it lists only RLV capable victims or not.
• Dominatech RLV Controller 1.1.3 by Julia Banshee. This is a big ugly tower that you set near your prims.  It is, however, mod, so you can fix that.  it comes in a no-copy version for L$299 and a copy/no-trans version for L$899.  It’s menus show everyone and it can’t sit you on secondary sit targets, it can only put you on the root prim.
• NS Force Sitter 1.3 by Nano Siemens. This is a green button that functions like the Dominatech. It has some nice options for what conditions restrictions are released under.  However, it’s again can only sit people on the root prim.

So me and my online-sis Summer did our first joint project together.  She rendered a very good looking clit and a very mean looking clamp and I wrote a bunch of scripts to put it all together.  The result is, to the best of knowledge, the first clit clamp of its kind in SL.  We’re really excited both by how well the product came out and to be doing our first joint project together.  We expect to have many more. =) 

Come on over to Summer’s unbelievably cool Summer Sim and get one for yourself or your friends. =p  While you’re there, join our Hippogroup to learn about future stuff in this product line. =)

Or, if you’d rather, you can get it off of Xstreet SL née SLX.

I scripted most of it in a day, but it took a week to get all the kinks and final details worked out of it.  Making a dialog based menu system that supports any number of pages turns out to be a real pain in the butt. =p  But I’ve got one now and can pretty painlessly use it wherever I want. =)  What’s more, this finally made me actually go and implement LockGuard and LockMeister support for the first time.  Not something that’s very hard, but good to have done.

I did a bunch of general cleanup and the scaler script is still usable stand alone to just scale stuff.  I got rid of all the magic numbers and made it stop creating/destroying listens all the time, making it instead use llListenControl to turn them on and off.  I also moved some repeated code into functions.  Also moved the braces around a little to be more comfortable to me <.< (yes, I’m a little embaressed to have done that. =p)  And finally, I changed it to support having the optional color change script.

The core script is here, drop that in whatever it is you want resized.  The child script is here and should go in every prim you want resized.

The texture changer I wrote from scratch.  You can add it to any script that already has the core resizer and it’ll automatically show up on the menu.  Just edit the list of textures at the top of the script to have whatever you want and drop the child script in the prims you want to change textures.

These are still very very rough… I’ll be revisiting them to make them more coherent as time goes on.

In no particular order…

• RLV drop in for poseballs that allow RLV enabled AVs to be captured and locked down on poseballs. Intended as a way of giving RLV add-on support for store owners who don’t want to have to write it themselves and/or for people buying generic poseballs to get these features added.
• RLV drop in’er that takes the script from above, scans for nearby poseballs matching some criteria (eg, “created by store owner but not owned by them”) and offers owner via dialog to add the script.Script should have auto-update code– eg, delete itself if something newer is found and dup-named scripts (eg, xxx 1) should just kill themselves.
• An RLV based outfit system, to let you put together a set of clothes and/or attachments and then save them and restore them later. (RLV based ’cause you can only get this info and control clothes via RLV… the regular API doesn’t allow this.) This still would kinda suck due to RLV having limited outfit info even on stuff in #RLV.
• Make generic “tear off” type script that uses RLV to let anything be torn off
• Make generic prim sizer script
• 12/28 Framework necessary for supporting “Shareware Prim Items” on second life.
• 12/29 Write framework for doing automatic script upgrades, key is llRemoteLoadScriptPin
• Fix up “tear off” scripts for attachments
• Hamster ball: Make it able to eject youMake it so it can RLV lock people in it

  Capture people

  Control RLV options via notecard and/or menu

• D/s triggers: Top sets triggers that happen when a phrase, location or person is near thatIMs the bottom with instructions (and adds this to a list of things the

  bottom needs to do. The bottom can mark thins as complete to remove them

  from the list.) 

  Eventually: Allow for complex trigger chains where one trigger will

  conditionally trigger another if it is or is not completed after a specified

  amount of time.

  Triggers could also trigger anims and/or RLV locks.

• Gallery Loader:Drop in images, uploads meta data to website along with UUID.

  Gives back no-copy images.

  Lets you change metadata via typed commands or via web, includes

  tagging.

  Lets you set the aspect ratio, with presets for the major

  Gallery Viewer:

  Basic controls setup via notecard (or better, config script).

  Image set selected based on criteria in config

  (eg tags, matching words etc)

  Slideshow and manual mode

  Slideshow cycles through images (with optional indicator for how long

  till next image)

  Manual gives next and previous arrows

  Next and previous images

  Viewer can be rezed or attached.  When attached it locks you into a non-moving AO.

• Hamster ball track, rails guiding it around, with beacon points for accelerated movement.
• Hamster ball rollercoaster/amusement park rides, with beacons spread around the air that can toss you from one to the next to the next.
• Some sorta sport with someone in the ball and others outside trying to push it around to a goal.
• Something that scans chat for normal emoticons and makes your AV act them out. Also perhaps basic emote support, eg, /me smiles, /me giggles, /me grins, /me laughs, lol, etc. Downside: Creepy as hell and quickly gets obnoxious. Essentially minimal gestures. Can probably be implemented using the gesture system. Also I would never ever use it myself. =p
• Object you wear/sit on that let’s you walk on the ceiling:
  Shoots a prim up and to figure out where the ceiling is. Uses animation to flip you upside down. Becomes a vehicle (takes over your controls), use move-to to move you around.

I took this pic when I was redoing my profile pic. I’m really happy with how it came out and thought I’d share. =)  If I’m gonna be critical, I could have picked a shirt that didn’t match my flesh tone quite so closely.

This is also from my “rotate all your photos to make them look more dynamic” collection. =p

Pic was taken in Austin at Summer’s sky platform, hair is Brite by Gritty Kitty, collar is from Summer’s sculpted gold cuff set, shirt is “Wild Flowers” by Viviane Fashion, eyes and skin I don’t usually change out but they’re Prismatic Natural Eyes 85 by Nevermore Studios and Jadzia Noxious LS1A from The Abyss respectively.
