World Ratings-Guideline request

Nov 13, 2002, 5:54am
Hello friends,

I was following the discussion in the "Stop it now, ENZO" thread and thought
it might not hurt to start a new thread about world guidelines.

Might I humbly request that some sort of general guidelines be
posted/published defining what sort of content can be entered into a world?

In the following straw-man examples I am using Avatars as an <example>
item - a focus for discussion since AV's and sexual content seem to be one
point which others have brought up in some other threads in the NG.

For example:
G: No content showing nudity or expousing any acts which are not in 'Good
Taste' ie: a Family and Children friendly world - example AV's must be fully
clothed..

PG: might contain content suitable for older children and perhaps allowing
AV's with translucent clothing.

R: worlds which a a bit more free-wheeling with more open content. Again
using AV's as an example, say clothing might be Transparent or <with>
genetalia covered.

X: these might be worlds where the content is pretty wide open subject to
obeying national laws barring hard-core porno/discriminationaly
activities/etc... Again using AV's as an example... only allowing the
extreme AV styles there ie: totally naked ones...

I'm not trying to start a flame war here - I'm just trying to start a
rational discussion about these matters as a world owner who would welcome
some input.
