Lindens are ramping up the Adult content policy

So out of the blue last night I received 2 identical emails from our buddies at Linden Labs…

Dear Second Life Resident,

In September, the Adult Content Policy transition period will end, and in preparation, we recently reviewed parcel descriptions and classified advertisements. We noticed that, while either your parcel description or classified ad contains or references adult content, your land is not flagged as Adult. We're writing to alert you to this oversight in your listing and let you know how easy it can be to address it. Please note that if you don't take action, your listings may be removed from search results (though they will continue to incur full listing fees) and account restrictions may be imposed when the transition period ends.

How can you avoid this messiness and continue to reach your target audience with your listings? Simply comply with the Adult Content Policy by taking one of the following actions, if you have not already done so:

• Private region owners, change your region rating to Adult.
• If you rent, or if you own Mainland property then move to an Adult region (Zindra or Adult rated private region.
• OR Remove any adult-themed content from your parcel description, classified ad and land (whichever is applicable).

For further detail, read the Adult Content Policy and tips.

Thank you,
Linden Lab Customer Support

That’s it, no information about what sims, or parcels are at fault just the ominous “…if you don't take action, your listings may be removed from search results…and account restrictions may be imposed…” So we are taking actions, we have rewritten our ads, are reviewing and changing all parcel ads, and will be contacting concierge support to see if we can get more information. Trust me we are not happy with this latest information, it was our understanding that adult keywords would not be viewable to non age verified accounts. NOT that they would not be viewable to anyone if our sims were not set to Adult or that “account restrictions may be imposed”. Sorry for the hassle, we will try to make this all as painless as possible.
