    Just as any user has every right to object to a thread on MSE as I have to abuse as the mother of a soon to be 18 year old who very much objects to the thought of my daughter reading this as being validated by MSE.

    Im sorry this has upset you Edinburghlass, that was never my intention , and thats why I checked with the mods, and also sent an e mail to MSE Towers, at their request .


    Dustangle, Im am not a " pimp" , I am not associated with anyone in SL, who makes money doing this..

    As for over 18s, that can be said as Jason has pointed out to any thread .We do not know the ages of either the poster, or the reader .. ( which is why I have kept
    my posts on this thread the minumum ) Had I had any vested interest , I would have been encouraging this .

    If any one else feels " offended " or upset by the thread , please report to abuse, or post on the thread .

    Jason Thank you again , for your support , sometimes I wonder if its worth posting , ( Hugs )


    Edited to say . My Pm box has remained full since posting this ..
  • The fact that the proprietor of this forum has shown poor judgement in permitting you to promote this foul scheme doesn't mitigate what you are doing. As others have said, what you are doing is corrupting and will attract children whatever you say about "over 18 only". The fact that your "pm box has remained full" means nothing other than that there are clearly quite a few people who are curious about the information you are offering about entering the sex industry.

    As someone who was (and is) intrigued and interested in this idea as a source of income, I can now see Dustangle's point. I don't object to the posting of this thread at all Mandi, as this forum is for everyone of all tastes and views, so this thread has as much right to be here as any other thread.

    My idea is that there should perhaps be a sub forum for over 18s jobs that is separate from this more mainstream forum that anyone of any age can read, click links or find information on sex chat lines and other adult professions.

    There is nothing wrong with any of these professions of course, but they are 'over 18s only' for a reason, so perhaps an over 18s only protected sub forum is the answer for us more broad minded moneymakers?

    Just a thought, and again thanks Mandi for posting this tip :)

    Mandi,
    I would say 99% of people saw your OP for what it was.

    Dustangle, I appreciate you may well have taken offence to the concept of the thread, but i feel the way you went about expressing that was wrong.

    Also looking at Mandi's post count, as you can see she is sitting pretty as she Pimps us all out on SL taking 60% of our profits?? *tut*

    Bexifer, I think that is a great idea, although i dont know how you would protect the forum from under 18's?
    Had my amazing little girlie 08/12/2007 - 11 days late! 9lbs 3oz
    My second little girl entered the world 20/03/2010 - 11 days late! 8lbs 4oz

    Ok my troll alarm bells are now ringing because you have continued to ignore my question about the 'saucy new job' thread and have continued to over-exaggerate in trying to claim this idea will attract children.

    I will pose the question one more time. How is this idea any more objectionable than the 'saucy new job' thread?. That thread, as I have said, promotes actual work in the sex industry. This thread offers an idea for a computer simulation. It is not the sex industry. It never was the sex industry.

    I would also give my support to an over-18's sub-forum but as a bare minimum, it would need credit card details to register because at the moment that really is one of the few ways, if not the only way, to verify that the age of the applicant is over 18 - end even then is no guarantee due to under 18's 'obtaining' the credit card details of parents or family members.
  • I'm afraid you're the one who wanted to start a fight with your overly insulting and judgmental post.



    you are perfectly entitled to object to this, or any other, thread of course, but I fail to see how this thread can be judged any worse than the 'saucy new job' thread that, as i have repeatedly said, promotes and advocates actual work in the sex industry, whereas this thread merely offers an idea.

    At the risk of "ringing your troll alarm bell" I have also reported, on occasion, posts in that particular thread. :rolleyes:

    Are you and Mandi verifying the age of all the people that are pm'ing you via MSE?
  • At the risk of "ringing your troll alarm bell" I have also reported, on occasion, posts in that particular thread

    I wasn't actually referring to you regarding the above post.

    It's not up to me or mandi to verify the ages of people on this forum - that is the responsibility of the people who run this forum. By the same token, it is the responsibility of second life to ensure that it's members comply with age restrictions.

    that is why second life have a teen-only grid for a start, and why they take an active role in seeking out and removing underage members of the main, adult grid.

    no system is foolproof though - kids are a lot more savvy technically nowadays and, as i'm sure you're aware as a parent, if you tell a child they can't have something or are 'banned' from seeing something, then they'll just want to see it even more.

    i can completely understand where you are coming from as a parent, even though I personally don't have, and will never have, kids. I would not want my two young nephews, aged 3 and 4 respectively to grow up and be exposed to violence, pornography or anything else that could potentially affect them.

    but i would not impose any knee-jerk censorship because they might see something inappropriate and I know full well their father, who shares the same views as I do, would be the same.

    I don't really know why i'm getting involved in this thread but I can see nothing wrong with this thread at all.

    Firstly, under 18's could easily find out about this (and a million and one worse things) elsewhere on the internet. Secondly, i'd be surprised if many people under 18 came on this board anyway.

    One more quick point, do you have to be over 18 to "play" second life?
