Sign a petition against deletion of imvu mature products from user accounts

I saw their 'rating system' and what they are trying to do is to make it more movie-based in the ratings...  and unfortunately, if their "R" is that sexist (they allow full-body showing for females yet only 'butt' for males), that nieve (I've actually seen much worse "R" rated movies out there that are on the bottom spectrum of the whole "R-" rating)... then they are in for a very rude awakening when they see how many people they are going to tick off.

I know what you mean. IMVU should make their own definitions of ratings, not use movie standards. Not to mention PG-13 movies are even getting to be worse as time passes. PG-13's allow for butt shots, and if that's all males can show in IMVU, according to movie standards, the guys should be allowed to go nude.  :snicker:

I say that pretty much if the person has an Access/Restricted Pass... they should be responsible fully for anything they buy. Actions/"Accessories"/Furniture/Clothing should not be disabled/removed due to the fact that it shows things that happen in real life, it should only be removed because it violates trademarks.

[WingedZephyr]

Agreed. The AP is supposed to virtually eliminate maturity restrictions, but it hardly does anything at all.

[Vosur Aekira]

And something that makes it even more strange is that the reaction of the moderators/admin/staff of IMVU... If they are so bent on 'protecting the younger crowd'... then they need to work on how the Access/Restricted Pass is given out... not what inside of the AP-list Unsuitable for IMVU.

I thought the bug was that products set to mature were still able to be used.

[Vosur Aekira]

I saw it, but the bug allowed "Unsuitable for IMVU" products to still be used and they just got rid of that.

[WingedZephyr]

I don't know if I should have made this a separate topic or not, but...

I just found out that Anshe's cuddle poses stopped working because they were made restricted. (I was a little late in finding out.) I think this is just ridiculous, because they were in no way obscene, and now Anshe is in deep for it because everyone thinks Anshe is responsible for it.  :twitch: I feel bad because she/Anshe Chung Studios actually makes worthwhile meshes and stuff, and she/they doesnt deserve to have this brought down on her/them.


But I mean, my biggest issue with Anshe's poses being restricted is, IMVU makes it possible for even non-AP users to still do basic kisses and stuff, so how is merely hugging (albeit in a romantic way) any worse than kissing?

It's just not right...  :no: IMVU's going overboard. Next they'll be restricting everything but handshakes, just wait.

Don't talk about this bug. There is currently a bug in the flag system that they get atomaticly removed to mature if the product got flaged more than 1 time... I always thought that they look at the products and then remove them... ._. Eyes I made just got removed because I gave a person no credits and then she flagged my product x-times.

They need to have it manditory when an item is flagged, the 'flagging user' needs to put their username and the reason why they flagged the item... ((-Thinks for a moment-... I'll go put this in the IMVU Suggestion forums.))

[WingedZephyr]

I thought that was mandatory.  ???

[Vosur Aekira]

Hrm... the comment part is not. Though, the IMVU Staff aren't taking a longer look at the 'flags'.

[WingedZephyr]

Then yes, I agree the comment should be mandatory, not optional.

And very true, about what you said. IMVU needs to find an efficient rating system, and stick with it. Too many times have devs been ripped off by the flagging system unfairly. IMVU needs to have some respect for the developers that actually do follow the rules and are flagged unfairly.  :umm:

[ephemral]

Developers do have recoarse in the event an item has been unfairly removed.
This is their way of getting around spending time looking at each item that's flagged.
Basicaly if you don't respond to it they assume you don't mind.
So be active.

I'm not sure if it''s anonamous or not.
It says it is, but it says at the same time who is flagging it....

Don't talk about this bug.

Not in this thread anyhow. Start a new one.

[Vosur Aekira]

I'll keep that part in mind... not sure if anything that I have would spark any sort of 'flag-happy' individuals... but none-of-the-less, worthwhile to know.
