Allow Second Life.
With the growing popularity of using virtual worlds to connect, teach and communicate, Second Life really should be allowed.
Not all of SL is "mature". There are universities present, corporations with "campuses", virtual concerts and charity events. Today, one of the book clubs interviewed Larry Niven, who was in-world, in full avatar as one of his own characters.
Give it some thought.

As the creators of SL Colonies, a comprehensive and interactive product within Second Life, we regularly engage with our community through live streams and educational content. Our platform is utilized for hosting Ask Me Anything sessions, showcasing product launches, and providing tutorials to both our existing player base and potential new users. Our content is publicly accessible and can be viewed on platforms like Facebook, YouTube, and Discord. A portfolio of our work and the nature of our streams can be found on our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@slcolonies
We recognize Twitch's concerns regarding adult content and respect the platform's need to maintain community standards. However, we believe that a collaborative approach could be beneficial. Many creators within Second Life, like us, produce content that is educational, creative, and community-oriented. This content ranges from virtual architecture and design to live music performances, charity events, and educational seminars.
We propose that Twitch considers implementing a system of verified accounts or channels for Second Life content creators. This system could include stringent guidelines and monitoring to ensure that the content remains within Twitch's community standards. Creators would agree to adhere to these guidelines strictly, understanding that their privilege to stream is contingent on maintaining these standards.
Such an approach would not only open up a new realm of creative and educational content on Twitch but also provide a platform for the diverse and vibrant communities within Second Life to share their creations and experiences. It would also align with Twitch's mission of being the leading platform for community and creativity.
In conclusion, we urge Twitch to reconsider its stance on Second Life streaming. By working together, we can create a framework that allows the innovative and community-driven content of Second Life to enrich the Twitch ecosystem, all while upholding the platform's commitment to a safe and respectful streaming environment.
P.S: It's crucial to note that Second Life is not merely a 'game' but a platform for creativity, learning, and community building.

Honestly, I shouldn't have to take to Discord to stream, when Twitch is literally a streaming platform.
I've been on SL much longer than Twitch, by a decade or so, and I've seen more nudity or other "inappropriate" content here than on Second Life. -

It's 2023, please reconsider this action. Second Life is a platform that is used to create, teach, and express your individuality. While yes, there are people that use this game for "adult" matters, we can clearly see that there are MANY M-Rated games that have full nudity mods. Similarly, Second Life avatars do not COME with "bits" they are dolls that users CAN add bits to. Just as anybody could in any game. This is a pointless ban, I suggest lifting the ban and trying an approach like only allowing streaming with "Show Friends Only" allowed. This is a newer feature to Second Life and one that allows streamers and users alike to be more mindful of the content that is on their channel and in more control of it. Please consider, thank you.

Not everyone wants to use it for "adult" things. This is the dumbest game to put on the prohibited games list. Why can't I stream in my private sim where I control all access and everything that could happen on my stream????
