The Simple Rules

Astor Family Region Rules (Second Life)

Welcome to the Astor Family Region, our family home and shared space. We’re open to the public in designated areas, and we want everyone to have a relaxed, enjoyable visit.

By entering the region, you agree to follow these rules. They’re simple, common sense, and enforced to protect the vibe and the people here.

1) Public vs Private Spaces

• Public areas are open to all visitors unless otherwise stated.

• Family homes and private residences are private property.

• Do not enter private homes/yards/rooms unless you have clear permission from the resident or family.

If a door is closed, an area is marked private, or you’re unsure, assume it’s private.

2) Respect & Conduct

• Treat others with respect. No harassment, bullying, hate speech, stalking, intimidation, or unwanted attention.

• No griefing, spam, excessive loud gestures/sounds, object flooding, or disruption of events.

• Don’t interfere with other visitors’ enjoyment of the region.

Basically: don’t be the reason people log off.

3) Adult Region: Age Appearance Policy (18+)

This is an adult venue and adult family home.

• Avatars must not appear under the age of 18.

• If an avatar appears underage to the Astor Family, you will be asked to:

  1. adjust your appearance, or

  2. leave the region.

This is not up for debate. The region is private property, and access is at the discretion of the Astor Family.  The onus is not on the visitor to argue intent, enforcement is based on the perception and judgement of the Astor Family.

4) Consent & Privacy

• Consent matters. If someone says “no” (to chat, RP, flirting, photos, anything), respect it immediately.

• Do not share private conversations, doxx, or drag personal drama into the region.

• Avoid recording/streaming or photographing others without consent (especially in private spaces).

5) Content & Objects

• Keep scripts, particles, and attachments reasonable, don’t lag the region.

• No rezzing clutter or unsolicited vendors/ads unless permitted.

• Follow any posted signage for specific venues/areas.

6) Enforcement

The Astor Family reserves the right to:

• ask anyone to leave,

• remove access,

• eject/ban without warning,

• enforce these rules as needed to protect the region and its residents.

If you’re removed, please don’t take it personally, it’s about keeping our home comfortable and safe.

7) Bans

If you find that you are banned from the region, please be aware that this ban is permanent.

If you wish to appeal, you may contact Maalik, our Head of Security, who is the only point of contact for all ban-related matters. You will be informed of the reason for the ban, and you may submit a response addressing the issue.

He will review your submission and raise it with the family.

Please note that while Astor Parklands is open to the public, it remains private property. We reserve the right to restrict access when necessary to protect the safety, comfort, and values of our community.

Thanks for visiting

We’re glad you’re here. Be respectful, enjoy the public spaces, and help keep the Astor Family Region a place people actually want to come back to.
