Comments on: Age verification enters Grid-wide beta http://blog.secondlife.com/2007/12/05/age-verification-enters-grid-wide-beta/ By Linden Lab Thu, 08 Jan 2009 05:38:29 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=MU hourly 1 By: Dana Hickman http://blog.secondlife.com/2007/12/05/age-verification-enters-grid-wide-beta/#comment-546597 Dana Hickman Thu, 06 Dec 2007 01:01:54 +0000 http://blog.secondlife.com/2007/12/05/age-verification-enters-grid-wide-beta/#comment-546597 I am wondering how deep this verification "beta" goes as far as inworld access. It says it's tied to the new RC viewer in the first line of the blog, and that residents can now flag adult parcels because of that. My question is... Where does that leave the millions of residents using much older viewers? I, myself, am using the ancient 1.18.2(1) viewer (the last mandatory upgrade/first main grid voice) because it's been rock solid stable for me. If this beta is live, and my viewer doesnt support it... Am I now going to have to make the choice of either staying with this solid client and probably being banned from my favorite dance clubs/shops/etc.., or be forced to update to the newest RC client with windlight and all its bugs and possibly not be able to get into SL at all?

Maybe your thinking Children won't know what sculpted Genitals are?

With all the failed verifications going on now I don't know if I should attempt this until it's resolved. I recommend using AgeLock as an alternative.

There was a Teen Grid b4.... that is really stuipt im sorry.... please LINDEN LAB at least you could write a Statement to that! wont work its not needet 99% of all SL residents dont like it IF YOU CONTINUE THIS THINGS.... YOU WILL HAVE SOON MAX. 30.000 USERS ONLY ONLINE... many SL residents will leave SL... you dont even ask us what we want? we write an email with 400 people to support with ONE idea about SL what 99.9 % of users would LOVE! you only write "we are sorry that we are not able to do that at the moment please let us know if we can do anything for you" that makes real sence you dont think so? rofl well everyone i asked would be happy about this idea (what i wont explain here now) but you dont care... so LL one questiuon..... do you really care aout all the residents?

The verification page doesn't support states from the country in which I reside and constantly fails. Shame that - certainly was able to verify my credit card quick enough when I upgraded to premium quite a few moons ago. GO GLOBAL.
