[[Region]]s in Second Life can either be flagged as ''PG'' or ''Mature'', which has an influence on the content and actions allowed within that region. While in a ''Mature'' Region, anything is allowed that abides to the [[Terms of Service]] and [[LL:Second Life Community Standards|Community Standards]], PG regions are only allowed to contain content suitable for minors. E.g. no nudity, no violence, etc. Actions violating these conditions can be [[When and how to file an Abuse Report|reported]].
 
Note that there are upcoming changes, adding a third Region Flag named ''Adult''. These changes aren't fully shaped out and are still discussed. See the [[Adult Content|article about adult content]].
 
== Quotes from the Community Standards ==
 
The following two quotes from the Community Standards are specifying the above mentioned policy:
 
{{Quotation|5. Indecency<br>
Second Life is an adult community, but Mature material is not necessarily appropriate in all areas (see Global Standards below). Content, communication, or behavior which involves intense language or expletives, nudity or sexual content, the depiction of sex or violence, or anything else broadly offensive must be contained within private land in areas rated Mature (M). Names of Residents, objects, places and groups are broadly viewable in Second Life directories and on the Second Life website, and must adhere to PG guidelines.|[[LL:Second Life Community Standards|Second Life Community Standards]]}}
 
 
{{Quotation|Policies and Policing<br>
Global Standards, Local Ratings<br>
All areas of Second Life, including the www.secondlife.com website and the Second Life Forums, adhere to the same Community Standards. Locations within Second Life are noted as Safe or Unsafe and rated Mature (M) or non-Mature (PG), and behavior must conform to the local ratings. Any unrated area of Second Life or the Second Life website should be considered non-Mature (PG).|[[LL:Second Life Community Standards|Second Life Community Standards]]}}
