Reporting Abuse
Primfeed encourages users to report violations of the Community Standards or any other policies. Primfeed reviews all such reports of abuse and will keep the identity of the reporter strictly confidential.
You cannot abuse the report system and might be sanctioned if you are deemed to.
Maturity Rating and content
As Primfeed is a Social Media dedicated to Second Life™ residents, 80 to 90% of the content you publish on Primfeed should be directly or indirectly Second Life™ related.
Vendors Ads
Vendor ads are defined as promotional materials created by Second Life™ creators to market their products. Primfeed requires creators, when posting a media containing a vendor ad in their post, to tag the post according to the following guidelines appropriately:
Set the post as a vendor ad.
If the product being sold, or the avatar wearing the product being sold, was rendered in 3D using external software, outside of Second Life™, you must label the post as "Render".
If the product being sold has been generated or altered using generative AI, you must label the post as "AI".
If only the avatar wearing the product or the background of the vendor ad has been generated or altered using generate AI, you don't have to label the post as such.
Primfeed's moderation team will enforce the usage of these tags as they are not optional.
If you only post a picture showcasing a product being sold, but you're not the creator of the product being sold, do not tag your post as a vendor ad.
Public Gallery
The Public Gallery feed is dedicated to commercial content and artistic photos from Second Life™. It can contain General, Moderate, Adult, and Adult+ content.
To prevent spam, you cannot post duplicates of the same media in the Public Gallery, even from different accounts.
You cannot include artistic photos and commercial content under the same post in the Public Gallery; the complete post will be removed from the Public Gallery.
Artistic photos
Artistic photos are defined as photographs that are created with the intention of conveying aesthetic, emotional, or conceptual value. These include, but are not limited to:
Landscapes
Portraits of avatars
Architectural photography
Composed scenes with props and decorations
Comics
Magazine covers
Youtube thumbnail for a Second Life™ themed video
Artistic photos exclude images intended for humor, parody, or satire, such as memes.
Commercial content
Primfeed allows the following types of commercial content in the Public Gallery:
Vendor ads to sell your creations
Giveaways
Storewide sale
Bloggers search
Hunts
Commercial event
If your post contains one of these content, you must mark it as a commercial ad.
For commercial events, you can post a flyer for your event once a week, and you can post vendor ads from products sold at your event.
Altered or generated content
The Public Gallery feed is reserved for Second Life™ content. Therefore, any picture generated or altered using generative AI or the "morph" techniques on the main subject of your artistic picture is completely forbidden from the Public Gallery, as Primfeed does not consider this type of content to be from Second Life™. The main subject is understood to be the focused content you want to showcase in your picture.
External software edits are allowed, but the result must showcase Second Life™ content overall.
Vendor ads generated or altered using generative AI are allowed in the Public Gallery as long as they are labeled as such. See the guidelines regarding vendor ads.
If you are unsure why your content has been removed from the Public Gallery, please refer to this page.
Maturity Rating
All Content must be assigned a rating in accordance with the Maturity Rating below.
Primfeed's Maturity Rating defines four categories:
General
Moderate
Adult
Adult+
General and Moderate ratings follow the definition used by Linden Lab in Second Life™, i.e.:
General: content that is suitable for all ages. It may contain mild violence, mild language, and informational or educational content. General content cannot be sexually explicit, violent, or depicts nudity nor show sexually oriented objects such as "sex beds" or poseballs.
Moderate: non-explicit content that is generally suitable for users over the age of eighteen (18). It may contain some violence, strong language and mildly sexual content so long as it does not promote adult content. To be specific, any content that displays nudity for an artistic or commercial purpose might be considered as Moderate. As soon as the content has the purpose of provoking or promoting sexual excitation, it must be considered whether Adult or Adult+.
Adult and Adult+ ratings are defined by Primfeed as follows:
Adult: any content that displays nudity, even photo-realistic, expressly sexually themed for the purpose of provoking or promoting sexual excitation; violence and illicit drug use.
Adult+: any content that represents pornography: any sexual acts including solitary pleasure, and fluids; or intensely violent acts such torture, or other severe bodily harm, whether or not photo-realistic.
Primfeed reserves the right to review individual cases and make determinations based on specific circumstances in line with general policies.
Your profile picture, profile banner, bio section, and any public information from your profile must be under the General rating and be undirectly or directly Second Life™ related.
Real-life content under the Adult and Adult+ ratings is strictly forbidden.
