Camping chairs and Traffic Violation

[Stella Gravois]

I have a store selling templates and other designer/builder stuff. A few days ago I had set up a few price giving chairs to give old hunt items to my customers and in the mean time gather new and more experienced clothing designers at one place to discuss, share and get inspired.

It turned out to be a success, but I got reported for Gaming Traffic Violation, I got an official warning and my chairs were returned to my lost and found. The reason I got was that traffic influences search results and therefore influencing traffic this way was illegal. The links they included to obtain more information were dead and I wasn’t able to find any information what so ever.  I don’t think traffic is nowadays influencing search results. The store went up to about 6K traffic and I found myself back on the bottom of the search list way lower than places with 0 traffic or 24 traffic.

Anyway, it wasn’t for traffic in the first place, so I filed a ticket asking if it’s ok to set up chairs on a parcel that is located on the bordering sim, not listed in search, but attached to the store. That way the traffic of the store is not influenced and I will have my designer’s café to discuss, folds, zippers, buttons and wrinkles. So far I didn’t get any reply on my ticket; the life chat has no clue as usual, so I thought one of you might know the answer.

The new search can now be sorted by traffic so gaming is still alive

You can set up parcels for the chairs on the same sim. Just turn off show in search for the parcel that the chairs are on

OK sounds reasonable, just wanted to be on the safe side.
