I should be getting a few predits. Most resticted items like that cost more than your average clothing item.

I had one pose spot deleted.
2 male accessories
1 bed that I'd be glad to get money back on.


To be honest if this doesn't negatively impact the IMVU economy too much I'll be cool with IMVU about
them deleting some of my stuff.

I'm surprised they are even offering to give credits back, but of course they are Pcredits =P haha.

I wonder what's going to happen to the developers who made these items...

[WingedZephyr]

There's got to be a catch... IMVU never seems to offer to do something nice just for the sake of their customers' satisfaction.  arf

And yes, they use predits, which result in dev tokens instead of profits for devs. May their kindness rain down upon us while it lasts, I suppose. [/sarcasm]

I'm not going to do that reimbursement since it is not worth it, what the explanation from IMVU's staff postings in the Forums has told me is that doing that reimbursement allows them to go through all your items and pick out anything they wish to deem unfit for IMVU.

[cybercat]

Indeed.  :sick:

allows them to go through all your items and pick out anything they wish to deem unfit for IMVU.

They can already do that.
Chances are the items they would find in your account they will find in other's as well.
Unless you have a private item that happens to violate the content policy.

They might just run a program to search your account for the disabled items and check those against a premade list of
reimbursable items. Then hand check the rest of the flagged items.

If you have a restricted item that hasn't been disabled yet that you know should be...
just wait for it to get disabled. It'll happen.

They specify to send them an email with your username... that in itself seems a bit more than just 'fishy' to me. But if they specified both username and password, that would be a definite sign to report. I'll have to think about this more because of them deciding to just deactivate items and re-rate them as they please. It still aggrivates me that they decide to make a lot of AP-items completely unusable.
