You seem to think that a lower rating does not cost the seller, it definitely does, because it can contribute to lowering the stars shown for an item. We have discussed a lot of this at the Web User Group meetings, that the review system needs to change, that you should if you purchased an item, just be able to leave a rating and leave, no names no having to write anything, because not all people want to be seen as endorsing a product. The other way we also discussed the idea that like other rating systems, that clicking the avatar and seeing their full review history would work in everyone's favour, if someone is constantly a downer about all things, then the person reading the reviews could consider that. That someone that seems to only review one brand, would potentially be the discussed 'buying ratings' kind of situation. That someone showing very mindful reviews could be someone you look to as a guide in your future shopping habits and so on. Second Life content creators are often doing it all, and when you poke them, they get really hurt by it, because they take it personally, and many have never worked in customer service industries, so this is all very new to them even if doing it for years. Customers also abuse the system in a way that is very unnecessary, leaving one star reviews to say ' I cannot find the blue' instead of actually attempting to contact the seller or their staff if there are staff. Marketplace has a long history of communication drops, those reviews messages not getting to anyone at all, so if someone is reaching out via them, they go unseen, sometimes for years. Then others want to jump in and growl instead of trying to work out a solution. Review is a misnomer for how Second Life conducts itself as a whole, and the way people rate with stars is too personal to them only. I have asked that we have a clear outline on the stars that 1 means this and 2 means this and so on, so that no one is putting down 3 stars because they like it, but don't love it, because they want to save their 4 - 5 stars for something SUPER DUPER \o/ because that is exactly how some people rate things. In IMDB I had to decide that 7 meant I liked it but probably would not watch it a second time. But no one else knows that is my method. So when someone does a 3 star rating to them 3 stars can mean I use this pretty much exclusively and am happy with my purchase vs a 4 star rating I would strip my whole region and build a pedestal to mount this on it.... to then be overtaken by a 5 star rating that just means you IMd the creator for their paypal account, because you feel that anytime you are in that items presence you want to give them more money and you have currently purchased it 87 times for friends family, and every single stranger you have met since the day of purchase. Then meet the person that feels that every purchase they make that actually arrived should get 5 stars because the very fact that they paid for it means the 5 stars justifies their expense, and they would not want to contradict their choices by lowering the stars Any review left on Marketplace is a 'LOOK AT ME before you buy this thing' whether positive or negative, it is in no way a connection with the creator, because if you wanted to do that, you would just IM them, send a notecard. It will always be seen as hurtful if not flowery. The only thing lower than a 4 should just be that it did not deliver what was advertised, and no response from seller, to warn people that possibly that creator has like many just left, so you get no customer support and don't want someone to lose their lindens like you did. I saw a review once that was bashing a creator because the swing they were selling did not come with the tree, but then it also did not come with the house, the grass, the region and the persons hair, skin, body, shoes, and clothing. Kind of like the Pink House review I also once got an IM/offline all outraged that they got a bag not pants, because they did not know to unpack the bag for the pants. I have dealt with some reviews that have been horrid and cruel and just outright wrong, because you will also find that some customers feel that leaving a bad review on who they see as competition for their favourite brand is somehow doing Gods work. Then also theft, accusations of things that did not happen, and do not exist and been so harmful, and yet sat there for years. The Review response turn around is hit and miss, and sometimes something can happen in a day if you report it vs happening 6 months later that you forgot you even flagged it. But it definitely has to be flagged, and no one is going to flag the 5 star reviews because they should not like your good ones if they don't like your bad ones, that would be on you to go in and remove them if you feel that strongly about that...but that actually just proves the points made, if you were to remove good because of something bad on another item, you would be exactly what you are mad about, that people leave nonsense reviews and can use them as weapons.

Me too Porky me too, I was one of the much much more people though...my bosses did it too, so I believed in it, we had an ATM on our region, so I used to just let it grow and grow and then BAM wiped out. I personally have always considered anyone the other side of 09 an oldbie, I am an 06 but...but I think the implementation of Sculpties aged us all and I always consider that 09.

Hi, and Welcome to Second Life 1. 17.5 years 2. If you are counting you are not doing it right. (Just teasing...it changes week to week, first ten years 16+ hours a day, some days would roll into the next, and that still happens at various times of the year) 3. As a fashion blogger for over a decade etc, the time spent on looks is pretty close to the 16+ hours per day... Working as a store Manager for many stores over the years also, the day to day 'looks' work looks, casual looks and so on all just roll into each other. 4. My real life information is known by a handful of people, it is not something I would ever share lightly. 5. Join Second Life by using lower case for their name... *looks at you, looking at me...I decided to forgive you though, because your name in RL is alliterative like mine is here.

I had an experience recently where I put on the top, it was timed, I went to wear the bottom ( I like using wear, add is not my go to) and it removed the top, ok so they did not bother to choose a designated attachment point both were going to the same hand. I actually like knowing that, so I can deal with it, instead of adding. I went to re-wear the top that was removed, it was 'timed out' I had not worn it for longer than it took to wear it and try and wear the other part to the item, there was no delay, this script it seems was a try ONCE and once only option. I was so annoyed I left. I had gone to buy that item, it was not just a try some stuff on situation and it occurred. So not only did I not get what I went to buy, but I won't go there again. People are using timers, because some brainiac decided that people were moving the demo signs under the floor if not rigged signs, so because of those random one off people that were not customers to begin with, everyone should suffer. If a person is moving the demo sign so as not to pay for your item, what does scripting it so they can't do that do? absolutely nothing except put off people that would have purchased. There are so many reasons that you may need longer than someone's decided time limit for a demo. You may need to try with other items, dances and ao's as mentioned, you may want to see if it comes in colours that will go with other things in your inventory, you may want to show friends or your partner and have them help you decide...but the most important reason to not limit people on time, is that many people in Second Life have issues that may mean they need a bit more time, a bit more respect and a bit more empathy. I am lucky to be able to make the decision to just unpack another demo, or get another demo, or just leave, but for some this kind of experience can be disheartening and make them even more aware of their needs not being cared about. I hope creators consider in future if that is more important than stopping some drongo from shoving a demo sign into the floor to save 87c

https://wiki.casperdns.com/index.php/CasperVend_2/Marketplace_Link as far as I know it has always been possible, I see this question often, so not sure why it is not clear to people that it is something you can do. I misread the question, as in I read the first part and went straight to google, my apologies.

Sachi has pretty much left Second Life due to RL attention needs. But as my store is on that region I can honestly say that it did/does bring new residents to her store on the daily. I look forward to the content that will be created for Senra because whether a customer starts out with Senra and moves on to another mesh body, it has been made clear that you can of course include Senra with other products, so Senra would just be something people include with the bodies they already make for, so the transition would be painless for them. The only "only Senra" mentioned was if you used their unpacker that you would pack them with Senra only, it did not say that that unpacker could not be one of multiple in your product, or that you could not use your own unpacker. So all creators to have some items that include Senra would be beneficial to them as being a store a new resident may come to as the start of their fashionable journey.

The approval section does not actually say that every item has to be sent, it says that 'if' LL wish to see said items, that you provide said items, its after the () section but it is there.

Maybe we are older and wiser? A lot of people that are in the system have been here a long time, a lot of people turning up to help have been here a long time. Possibly the investment in doing it right this time. In the past everyone involved only had a set number of years under their belts, now that is considerably different. We have learned along the years, we have grown as a community, we understand better now what it is like to be new, what it has been like to learn and adapt to new features. We possibly have more empathy. I personally want it to succeed, because I want people coming into Second Life now to have experiences that we have been lucky enough to have had. No one prepares you for what Second Life can be, but we can certainly try by example.

Depending on what you are like, you can remember a fair few people as fleeting as the moment may be in them arriving on a landing point. These are not a series of Daves and Michelles, they often have rather memorable names. If you are spending time at the Welcome Hub and greeting people, interacting even if one sided, you will tend to store those names, for at the very least, a few days.

she left a long time ago, SL was not her main job, so she let it go. There was talk of her coming back and doing a collaboration, but not sure if that happened or she is here with another name/brand. But I am so glad I still have her skins, I wear this one often, so to be able to move it over to Senra is great. I understand us oldbies have different inventories than new users, we will benefit greatly from that, as we have with BOM so far ( I love bom, I love making alpha layers etc) But this will be a great way to help new users find alternatives and maybe to be a bit more creative along the way.

Busting out the Glance Skin Lana and some Pig Bodysuit and League Shorts. I totally plan on creating multiple outfits with the Senra avatar so that when at the Welcome Hub it is clear that some changes can be made and you can be ADORABLE. I did not use the included shapes, because I just wanted to alter my own.

I got mine and to be honest, the waiting 7 years to benefit was not the case. I feel instantly great, my regular annual was due at the end of this month so that was going out already, and I now know i don't have to even account for that in future, it is done. So while a larger amount went out than usual, it was money I had. If you have the funds, do it.

I have the stipend of 500 too I was scared of that loss also

I got all worked up into a tizz, I made a ticket and then I ended up closing it when I calmed down. I am older now, I have paid premium for 17 years and had regions for 13, to not have any benefit for 7 years was too much, and that this was not even 1% of the user base that can get this made me sad, I was sad, that is not the feeling that should have happened. The idea that if i had kept the ticket and not gotten a spot, when willing to pay that, would have really upset me. One day they may offer it as an actual option, and then I will have time to decide, this was pressure, this was best bank balance wins. I had the balance, but looking that many years into the future when you have already 17 behind you, it is more beneficial to younger accounts, and why take a spot they could have. There was no incentive other than spending lots, there was no special coloured profile lol, no vanity plates to display, no SLB20 something that would have made doing it now a collectible that they could have offered different each year. no SLifer last name lol. Good luck to everyone that did a ticket, I really hope you get them, I am sorry it was a limited amount of people and not a limited amount of time, running the option for the full celebration time would have been amazing.

That is another great reason for Mentors to have Last name - Mentor - so that there is no ability to impersonate a linden approved Mentor. I would love to be Sasy MentorSL WOOHOO a separate account though of course, not changing my real name.
