[…] main change to the code was the implementation of age verification which, as Dandelion and others have pointed out, was seemingly abandoned as quickly as it was […]

I am age verified with my real data. Guess most of us Europeans did it. However it has come to my knowledge that Under Age Abuse Reports on non-verified residents are being used by people who want to be mean to someone. Those ARs have priority at LL and the residents have their accounts suspended and a time limit to prove they are over 18 by sending copies of their documents (not only the numbers) to a fax number provided by LL.
This happened to 2 friends of mine, one of which owns 6 sims and is inworld for 2 years now.

i refuse to verify until they give me an option which doesn’t require my social security number. i cannot use the drivers license option since our license numbers in my state the the same as our social security numbers.

I have not age verified, believing that asking for the information they apparently require is probably an illegal act in my country. I’m waiting to see what happens.

I also got age verified.

But considering the success rate of age verification with Europeans - I’ll leave it to you to decide whether it was a proper verification or not.

I age verified with my drivers license on the SL site when they had the option to. It doesn’t bother me to give that sort of information, but it’s obvious that verification like that isn’t going to accomplish anything as it’s easy to fake.

Granny.. LOL Hmmmm.. I need to make me a new avie.
Maybe that can be seen as a statement in teh ongoing discussion about realistic avatars. (I assume realistic meaning they correlate to you. In this case I would have an avie that looks realistic, but not exaxtly like me, I’d say).

It also seem that some Californian driving licenses available by Google image search worked too. At east for a while.
Only time I saw ban lines was on the edge of that experimental 16sqm parcel that was to prove one can do almost anything through that fence.
And no, I am not going to verify.
