Taboo! Social – Community Standards

Taboo! Social Community Standards

Freedom. Responsibility. Consent. Community.

Taboo! Social was built by Second Life residents, for Second Life residents. We believe adults should be free to meet, express themselves, explore relationships, share their lives, and build meaningful connections without unnecessary censorship.

These Community Standards exist to protect the community—not to restrict lawful adult expression. We expect members to behave responsibly, respect personal boundaries, honor consent, and take responsibility for their own conduct.

Taboo! Social welcomes lawful adult expression.
Freedom of expression does not include harassment, exploitation, coercion, illegal activity, threats, abuse, or violations of another person’s privacy or consent.

1. Adults Only

Taboo! Social is strictly limited to people who are 18 years of age or older in real life. There are no exceptions.

Child avatars, ageplay involving minors, images of real children, sexualized depictions of minors, or any content suggesting that a user or character involved in sexual activity is underage are strictly prohibited.

A fictional persona, roleplay identity, or Second Life avatar age does not replace the requirement that the person operating the account must be a real-life adult.

If an account is reported or reasonably suspected of being operated by someone under 18, the account may be suspended while the matter is investigated. Acceptable age verification may be required before access is restored.

Content involving the sexual exploitation of minors may be reported to the appropriate authorities.

2. Adult Content

Adult content is permitted on Taboo! Social. This may include explicit language, adult profile text, nudity, erotic images, sexual discussions, BDSM, fetishes, kink, and consensual adult roleplay.

The rule is straightforward: lawful and consensual adult expression is allowed.

Illegal content, non-consensual material, exploitation, coercion, threats, abuse, hate content, or anything else prohibited by these Community Standards is not allowed.

Members remain responsible for the content they upload, publish, send, or share.

4. Hate Speech and Abuse

Hate speech, targeted abuse, credible threats, or content promoting violence, exclusion, or discrimination against people based on protected personal characteristics is not allowed.

This includes attacks based on race, ethnicity, nationality, religion, disability, sex, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, or similar protected traits.

Disagreement is allowed. Debate is allowed. Personal attacks, targeted dehumanization, threats, and discriminatory harassment are not.

5. Illegal Content and Conduct

Taboo! Social may not be used to facilitate, promote, solicit, or distribute illegal activity or illegal content.

Prohibited conduct includes, but is not limited to:

  • Sexual content involving minors.
  • Human trafficking or exploitation.
  • Non-consensual sexual content.
  • Credible threats of violence.
  • Terrorist activity or recruitment.
  • Fraud, theft, or criminal solicitation.
  • Distribution of unlawfully obtained private material.
  • Any other conduct prohibited by applicable law.

Illegal content or conduct may result in immediate removal, permanent account termination, preservation of relevant records, and referral to the appropriate authorities.

6. Privacy

Respect the privacy of other members and protect your own personal information.

Do not publicly post or distribute passwords, financial information, real-life addresses, private phone numbers, identification documents, private account information, or other sensitive personal information belonging to yourself or another person.

Doxxing, blackmail, extortion, threats to expose someone, revenge content, or deliberately sharing private information to harm or intimidate another person may result in immediate account action.

Private messages or conversations should not be publicly posted without the permission of the people involved, except when privately providing relevant evidence to Taboo! Social staff or lawful authorities.

7. Spam, Advertising, and Promotion

Second Life creators, club owners, performers, DJs, photographers, venue operators, event organizers, merchants, bloggers, and businesses are welcome members of the Taboo! Social community.

You may promote yourself, your work, your venue, your club, your products, or your events through your own profile, posts, blogs, albums, and other appropriate community features.

Promotion becomes spam when it is excessive, repetitive, deceptive, disruptive, or sent to people who did not request it.

Examples of prohibited spam include:

  • Mass-messaging members with advertisements.
  • Repeatedly posting identical promotional content.
  • Flooding comments, chats, or private messages.
  • Creating accounts solely to advertise without participating normally in the community.
  • Using misleading links, fake offers, or deceptive promotions.

Accounts used primarily for spam, solicitation, or disruptive advertising may be restricted or removed without refund.

8. Selling, Solicitation, and Scams

Do not use Taboo! Social to scam members, commit fraud, obtain financial account information, impersonate another person, or pressure members into sending money or valuables.

Members may promote legitimate Second Life products, venues, events, and services, provided the promotion complies with these Community Standards.

Commercial sexual services, prostitution, trafficking, coercion, exploitation, or arrangements involving non-consensual sexual conduct are prohibited.

Taboo! Social is not responsible for private transactions between members. Use caution before sending Linden Dollars, real-world currency, account information, inventory, or other valuables to anyone.

11. Multiple Accounts

Each Taboo! Social account is linked to a single Second Life avatar.

One account may be created for each eligible Second Life avatar. Accounts may not be transferred, sold, shared, or represented as belonging to another avatar or person.

Using alternate accounts to avoid a suspension, bypass a block, manipulate activity, harass members, or evade moderation may result in action against all connected accounts.

12. Inactive Accounts

Accounts that remain inactive for an extended period may be restricted, archived, or removed at our discretion.

Where practical, Taboo! Social may provide notice before permanently removing an inactive account, but advance notice is not guaranteed.

13. Reporting Violations

Reports help us identify genuine violations and protect the community.

How to report a member

  • Open the member’s profile.
  • Click the More button.
  • Select Flag.
  • Select the most appropriate report category.

Available categories may include:

  • Spam
  • Offensive Content
  • Illegal Content

To provide screenshots, context, or additional information, send a private message to Wolverat through Taboo! Social.

Every report is reviewed by a member of staff. Depending on the circumstances, staff may take no action, issue a warning, remove content, restrict an account, suspend an account, or permanently terminate an account.

Please use the reporting system responsibly. False, malicious, retaliatory, or deliberately misleading reports intended to harass another member may result in moderation action against the reporting account.

14. Blocking Members

You may block another member at any time when you no longer wish to interact with them.

How to block a member

  • Open the member’s profile.
  • Click the More button next to their profile picture.
  • Select Block.
  • Confirm that you want to block the member.

Blocked members are not notified that they have been blocked.

Blocking is a personal privacy tool and does not automatically mean that the blocked member violated the Community Standards.

If a blocked member attempts to contact you through another account, continues harassing you, threatens you, or otherwise violates these standards, report the conduct so staff can investigate.

15. Enforcement

Community Standards violations are evaluated based on the nature of the conduct, severity, available evidence, prior history, risk to the community, and other relevant circumstances.

Moderation actions may include:

  • No action when a violation cannot be established.
  • An informal reminder or formal warning.
  • Removal of specific content.
  • Temporary feature restrictions.
  • Temporary account suspension.
  • Permanent account termination.
  • Referral to appropriate authorities when legally necessary or appropriate.

Taboo! Social is not required to use every lesser action before imposing a suspension or permanent ban.

Serious violations may result in immediate removal without prior warning.

Accounts terminated for violations of these Community Standards are not entitled to refunds for unused Credits, VIP Membership time, advertising, or other purchases.

16. Appeals

Members may appeal an account suspension or permanent termination by contacting Zanidu Titian in Second Life.

Appeals should clearly explain why the member believes the decision was incorrect and should include any relevant information or evidence.

Submitting an appeal does not guarantee that an enforcement action will be reversed.

Repeated, abusive, threatening, or fraudulent appeals may be ignored.

17. Changes to These Standards

These Community Standards may be revised as Taboo! Social grows, introduces new features, responds to community concerns, or updates its legal and safety requirements.

Continued use of Taboo! Social after updated standards are published means you agree to follow the revised standards.
