Well, as I already wrote in that forum thread, these new categories won’t make the AR process better – I’m afraid they will make it worse (and it is already messed up as it is).

Age play as AR category? Time to AR the midforties women playing 20yo barely legal sexbombs. I see lots of drama coming from AR’s by the many people who just don’t KNOW that age play is perfectly okay, in contrast to SEXUAL age play.

Failure to deliver product or service? Time to AR Linden Lab – in most cases non-deliveries have their reason in the non-stable running of THEIR service. I see lots of drama coming from AR’s by many people who just don’t understand that for each really fraudulant transaction failure you have a dozen or more where the seller is a victim of a far from perfect system himself.

And – even though the G-Team falsely claims to investigate all ARs – underage ARs against residents who already ARE age verified and LL has the PROOF of that on their own files end in suspending their account within minutes (and needing WEEKS to get the suspension lifted again). Bad. Really bad, the ultimate griefer tool. This simply is not acceptable.

Sorry Adz, didn’t mean to make it sound like a blanket policy or community decision, and really I point it all out because it’s the best example I have on hand of the tension created between policy and the shift to “granular decision-making” when a system is broken, poorly enforced, or where the guilty are never presumed innocent.

“it’s a form of ageism to exclude them in any case.”
for the record, i never agreed with that particular part. right cause, wrong reason.
