=Second Life Community Standards & Policies=

As in real life...Second Life has acceptable and unacceptable behaviors. There are regions with different ratings permitting varying levels of community standards. For example, "PG" or "Public Rated" areas do not condone public nudity, however be aware that some adult or mature regions do allow public nudity and may have different standards than public rated areas.

Although the SL community supports it's residents creating their own experiences, six behaviors (Linden Research Inc., 2008) have been identified that will result in suspension and possibly even expulsion from the SL community
 * 1) Intolerance
 * 2) Harassment
 * 3) Assault
 * 4) Disclosure
 * 5) Indecency
 * 6) Disturbing the Peace

Before creating your account in Second Life, you may find it useful to review the community standards & policies by going to the Second Life Official Webpage on Community Standards (Linden Research Inc., 2008).
