See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_pornography_laws_by_country and the articles linked to from ...

Re: Weired behavior at setting parzel of region to mature
Hi Serendipity, There is no problem with people in bikinies French kissing in a Moderate world but having them have virtual sex in a skybox is not enough to keep the world Moderate and not Adult. If an underage user can cam-around to view the sex scene then the world exposed that user to age-inappr...

Re: Your opinion needed: Maturity Ratings for avatar skins
It sounds as if the real question is not "what do we think it should be?", or "what makes sense?", but rather "what is safe for the business?" Please explain to me what you can be sued for if a Moderate rated skin in Kitely marketplace shows a nipple. A world where nothing is allowed but what offen...

Re: Your opinion needed: Maturity Ratings for avatar skins
The Maturity Ratings are messed up. Adult is described as worlds with nudity or violence. Yet Moderate precludes even nudity or sexual activity behind closed doors. Even having furniture or clothes or animations that are rated Adult has been said to be forbidden and perhaps enforced by code in the f...

Re: Weired behavior at setting parzel of region to mature
The trouble in a nutshell is that what is defined as "Moderate" by Kitely seems to many of us and perhaps to majority of Kitely customers to be not "Moderate" but closer to "Puritantical". To many "Moderate" means you would expect to see anything "in the open" on a world that you couldn't see on the...

Re: Weired behavior at setting parzel of region to mature
Hi Serendipity, You're required by the TOS to prevent people to gain access to content that is not age appropriate in your world. One way of doing that is to use the world maturity ratings to block access. Another is to limit access via our website to just a pre-approved group of friends whom you k...

Re: Weired behavior at setting parzel of region to mature
Please note that Kitely uses additional maturity rating controls on top of those provided by OpenSim. So, for example, if your avatar is rated General you won't be able to enter a world set to Moderate in our interface even if you change all the regions in that world to General via your viewer. Ple...

Re: Fulfillment University world DOA earlier today
Well, I just got my new linux machine with a monster graphics card so naturally I wanted to try this world out with it. What a difference a big GPU makes. Averaging around 40 - 50 fps once the world settles down. Can't speak for all my visitors but it is livable for me now to say the least. I did no...

Re: is there better performance on an "Advanced" world?
We use Large EC2 instances for running simulators (we call those instances world nodes). Placing between 1 and 4 simulators per world node. The number depends on various criteria, one of them being how heavily used are the sims currently on the world node. If they are already loaded we don't start ...

Re: Are Goreans & other Lifestyles in Kitely ok?
Graham - what grades do you teach? It seems like a better idea to put the adult sims into a ghetto instead, so that only over 18 (or whatever the laws of one's country) can even see the world ad at all. And I do think that's a good idea, as I want to bring my preschooler granddaughter and a few of ...
