1. What is peeving you now, while logged into Second Life

   My peeve about copy-pasted items not refreshing that I mentioned on page 1 has been fixed for over two weeks now! Clearly the peeve thread wields tremendous power. Perhaps it summoned a Linden into this abyss of customer feedback, they spotted my post, and quietly fixed it. Stranger things have happened.

   If, even as a free user, I had been given the choice of any number of free surnames which included Resident, I probably would have chosen Resident, just to be silly. So, really, I'm kinda okay with it myself the way it turned out for me. Given the once-in-an-account-lifetime option of changing, though, I would have to choose Pheeby Katz, just to be stubborn. If it wasn't an option, I'd just not bother, lol.

3. Reporting adult items on General land - unpopular opinion?

   You don't half talk a lot of absolute codswallop most of the time Solar. Don't get me wrong, absolute lunacy is funny, so if comedy is what you're going for then kudos 🤣

4. Reporting adult items on General land - unpopular opinion?

   If it's really necessary to have another child avatar-bashing thread, can we please not do it here where it is practically irrelevant. The G maturity rating for land was not intended for child avatars. It was mostly for "corporate" users (remember M Linden's "Enterprise" fetish? damned near killed the company with it) and others who just didn't want to constantly confront adult content which, remember, wasn't segregated at all—there were no "Adult"-rated regions then nor even a definition of "Adult" content. Instead all the naughty stuff was scattered all over, everywhere but the G (then "PG") regions. When they recognized this was bad for the Lab's actual business, they could have separated G-rated Mainland to create a space safe for anybody who really didn't want to encounter anything that might offend, but instead drew the obvious (but wrong) conclusion that they should segregate the newly Adult-rated Mainland off to Zindra. (They allowed Estates to set any maturity rating they liked, including allowing adjacent G and A regions. Not sure that ever actually happened, though; there aren't many G-rated Estate regions with any neighbors at all.) That ended up creating demand for a whole lot of Adult Mainland, way more than they wanted, so they repeatedly narrowed the definition of "Adult" content to try to convince people they shouldn't move. (That's why Adult animated furniture can technically be sold on M-rated land, even though everybody knew all along it would be commercially insane.) I'm not sure if they just didn't want to mint such a big Zindra and leave so much existing Mainland empty (which definitely happened) or if they just couldn't stand to admit that The Internet Is About Sex. Apparently, all these years later, the Lab created an Adult Hub.

   If walking around with a legacy or paid for surname peeves you, it is possible to pay for the surname Resident, even for accounts too old to have previous been a Resident.
