All of this, including a full discussion, can be found on the forums HERE after SuezanneC Baskerville found this list and posted it.
The highlighted catagories are cause for concern to many and it is to be hoped this list will be reworded or reviewed before going live.
It is great to see a catagory for 'Copyright or intellectual property violation' but since Linden Lab have always maintained Residents should file a DMCA I wonder what use this catagory actually is?
Trademark violation - Do they mean the SL trademark or the consumers? This seems to mean nothing at all without further explanation.
The main one of concern here is Commerce > Failure to deliver product or service - I would love to know how this one will work, quite apart from increasing AR's to an unworkable level, most failures are due to grid problems. Are customers now going to AR content creators simply because of grid hiccups? It would be confusing, to say the least, and those creators could find themselves punished for something they have no control over. Anyone that has sold through a vendor is SL knows these hiccups occur and the majority are happy to put it right if a vendor fails - but how can they do that if the first they know of a problem with a vendor is a warning from LL? Think again Lindens.
Age > Age play - Since when has been against the ToS to age play? This is going to cause an uproar simply by the wording - what I think is actually meant here is SEXUAL age play but this is not made clear, and it should be. Any child avatar could be Abuse Reported under this category as it stands right now.
Join in the discussion HERE and thank you Suzanne for bringing it to every ones attention.
