The following communities are said to be missing from what was described as: ‘Celebrating the cultural diversity of Second Life’: ‘Who do you hang around with in Second Life? What are your communities’ traditions and signature characteristics? Are you proud of your sexy blue fur? Your excruciatingly detailed tea ceremony? Your murky environments? Your sculptures? The help you’ve given to others?’

Child Avatars community will be missing from SL5B (secondchilds.blogspot.com) Gor and BDSM communities are rumoured to be not welcome either. (Massively)

Strangely enough, documentation on ageplay as found on the secondlife official blog dated november 13 2007 stated: ‘Please note it does not violate this policy merely to have a child-like avatar. It is not our intent to banish child-like avatars in and of themselves.’

Furthermore, the Community Standards-documentation states that Intolerance is not allowed: ‘Combating intolerance is a cornerstone of Second Life’s Community Standards. Actions that marginalize, belittle, or defame individuals or groups inhibit the satisfying exchange of ideas and diminish the Second Life community as whole’.

Please fix! In stead of hiding them from the world, give the Child Avatars a chance to prove for the entire world that there is nothing wrong with their community!
