Since there are 24 US states and the UK requiring age verification it seems this is going to inevitably change the way OpenSimulator functions. Denying it, protesting, waiting for it to go away, or saying it's impossible - won't last long in my opinion. I think the EU will probably follow suit with laws.

I personally think Geofencing is boo-boo and doesn't work. Right now you'd have to block half the USA and all of the UK and then comes EU. Might as well just unplug and go home I guess.

So i'm thinking about what I need to do on my grids. Here are the strategy/rules i've been thinking about and would love feedback.


rules
1) can only age-verify local grid users, not from other grids
2) only age-verified people can access M and A land
3) non age-verified and HG visitors may access G land only
4) G land is not UGC (user generated content) but only grid owner can place objects (or designated people in specific staff group, etc)
5) non age-verified users cannot chat in the local channel
6) the G land (should be one per grid really) is more like a welcome, and possibly each region on the grid can have a "booth in the welcome area" worked out with grid owner.
7) visitors are enticed to become local users and thus become age-verified
8) local users can have sims/parcels on the grid but can only be M or R rated, no G
9) we assume all local users are age-verified, since they have to age-verify during registation (must use "commercial" 3rd party verification service according to many laws)
10) visitors (non local HG visitors) attempting to access M or A land are always redirected to the welcome "G" land


If you are inclined, Here is the updated ini, xml and a new AgentGateModule.cs i'm working on - alpha

TAKE Land welcomes you to an experience where your soul explores and time dissolves.

To help you navigate more easily, we’ve added a set of interactive teleports located right at the Rio Fénix Art entrance. These green arrows on the map boards will take you directly to the main destinations across the sim.

🎨Visit art galleries, ride a horse, get lost (or found) in the mazes, dance by the sea, or rest in hidden gardens.

TAKE Land is not about getting from one place to another, it’s about discovering yourself AS YOU MOVE.

Take your time.
Nothing rushes here.
Everything waits for your eyes to see it for the first time.

Find the teleport maps and start your inner journey. 🗺️

DJ Hydra takes the decks and brings us along a rock and roll journey. Come join us!

Willkommen in deinem ganz persönlichen Garten Eden!

Dein Garten ist mehr als nur ein Stück Land – er ist ein Zufluchtsort für alle Facetten des Lebens. Hier kannst du dich entspannen, mit Freunden zusammenkommen und das Leben feiern.

Entspannung pur

Tagsüber ist dein Garten eine Oase der Ruhe. Die sanfte Brise, der Duft der Blumen und das leise Summen der Bienen schaffen eine perfekte Atmosphäre, um die Seele baumeln zu lassen. Ob du in einem Liegestuhl die Sonne genießt oder im Schatten eines Baumes ein Buch liest – die Hektik des Alltags bleibt draußen.

Lagerfeuer-Abende mit Freunden

Wenn der Tag zu Ende geht, versammelst du deine Freunde am Lagerfeuer. Das Knistern der Flammen, der Duft von Abenteuer und das gemeinsame Lachen füllen die Luft. Hier erzählt man sich Geschichten, singt Lieder und genießt einfach die unersetzliche Nähe. Die Wärme des Feuers und die Gemeinschaft schaffen ein Gefühl von Geborgenheit, das man so schnell nicht vergisst.

Partys unter dem Sternenhimmel

Doch dein Garten ist nicht nur ein Ort der Ruhe. Er verwandelt sich auch in eine Bühne für unvergessliche Partys. Lichterketten funkeln, Musik erfüllt die Nacht, und der Duft von leckerem Essen liegt in der Luft. Hier kannst du tanzen, lachen und bis in die Morgenstunden das Leben feiern.

Dein Garten Eden ist ein Ort, an dem du neue Kraft schöpfen, dich mit geliebten Menschen verbinden und unvergessliche Momente schaffen kannst. Ein Ort, der dich erdet und gleichzeitig dazu einlädt, das Leben in vollen Zügen zu genießen.

There is currently a bug affecting the 0.9.3 release version of OpenSimulator. It concerns regions that are stuck together and teleportation prompts. I've reported the bug to the developers. It will be fixed in the next version, or if you can't wait, it's already fixed in the development version.
On BloodMoon, we prefer to wait for the next release version to put it into production (it's a choice).
