Age Verification Failed

Second Life IDV has failed to match the details you have provided to available data. This generally occurs if your information has changed in the recent past. If you have moved or changed your name within the last 18 months, please attempt IDV again using your previous address or name.

If you are using IDV from a country outside of the United States, please make sure you've selected the proper county name from the list. In many countries, multiple identity documents can be used, generally passports, driver's licenses, and national ID cards — if IDV has failed to match with one of these documents, please try another.

Should these suggestions not lead to successful verification, please contact the Second Life Concierge for assistance (+1-877-236-0711).

I have an idea - KISS MY ASS! This "generally" occurs? Really now? I have had the same last name for oh, iunno 14 years and I've been at the same address for two years! Fookers!

Update:
Okay I took a deep breath... I realize 3 years ago when I signed up for SL - I lived in Tennessee. So I put in that addy & my DL #. Viola!

Censorship & Online Anonymity

I haven't had enough coffee yet to properly verbalize how I feel about all this... wait... Yup, it's anger and confusion. Decide for yourself how you feel over this.

Burning Life Censored - This is all over Bloglines but the one that gives real there info is on the official Burning Life Blog. [read here] This angers me. Why? Since when did art become broadly offensive? Honestly. One single statue, Linden censorship & a PG sim caused an artist protest & had I known, I would have been there joining hands & dancing naked along side them. This is utterly ridiculous.

Who Are You? - Identity Verification Comes to SL. They want to be able to 'trust' us? As Robin Linden states "identity verification is voluntary for both Residents and estate owners." If it's voluntary, how many will actually do it? I'm on the fence with this issue. I have no problem verifying myself. Do I feel I should have to? No.

LL Policy (sorta) - Jelly's View

I read this on PixelPulse Magazine this morning:
A European parent-teacher group called Familles de France is apparently suing Linden Lab to prevent minors from signing up for Second Life, saying the grid contains “pornographic photos and videos in free access [where] users can mimic sexual acts, going as far as rape scenes, bondage, zoophilia and scatophilia,” according to a report on GamePolitics.com. A court hearing is set for June 18, the site states.

Let me state how fucking moronic this is to me... Parents need to spend more time watching their kids & knowing what they are doing online rather than suing every time their nose tickles. I am a parent of a teenager and she is never on the computer without my permission. The desktop is locked down til she asks me to get online and I put in the password. I know all her passwords & monitor her activity. Hassle much? May seem like it to a lot of people, and it was at first, now it's just daily routine. I even let her play in the Teen Grid until the LL password fuck up scandal. She is never unattended online and it's not because I don't trust her but because I don't trust others. Just like Lala said this morning, "There are so many online predators because it's a harvesting ground of children who aren't being watched." This is so true. I'm tired of people blaming LL for being bad parents and fucking up my escape to live my fantasy world the way I choose to live it. If I want to be a neko (and I am) and fuck like a bunny, or play nice with dogs, be friends with mice or what the fuck ever... I should be allowed to. I pay $9.95 usd in premium account fees on top of my $75 usd a month tier. I think that gives me some say in my slife, my world, my imagination. What it boils down to is this... The problem is client side. it's not a LL thing.. It's a "Parents not watching their god damned kids" thing.

WATCH YOUR FUCKING KIDS ONLINE!
