Precious Restless Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 I wonder if is possible that MP create separate category just for petite avatars? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anaiya Arnold Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 Petites? Not really approrpriate for the same reason as Meeroos, although mesh avatars definately should have their own category. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosemaery Lorefield Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 What would be nice is if structures (and bridges, walkways and other) were under home & garden, not building components. Most everything in building components are full perm or other items meant for use in producing sellable objects. It would be more helpful if these were separate from prefab, no trans or no copy items meant to be used only on your own builds for personal use.

Rosemaery Lorefield Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 How I look at it- There are several brands of cats, dogs, horses, etc. AFAIK, only one company making Meeroos. Roos are Roos, it is a brand but also a "thing". They aren't a cat, dog, horse, rodent, etc. It might look like playing faves, maybe they should be in an "other" category, but I don't see it as unethical.

Czari Zenovka Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 Josh Susanto wrote: The logic I imagine should best be used is that, at each categorical level, the number of marketplace items in each category should be close to the number in each other category. That is, if there are more than twice as many items in one category as there are in some other category on the same categorical level, probably two categories should be joined or one category should be split. Not that there's any way to make this work perfectly. I just think that it's probably the kind of principle we're looking for in order to assess whether a change in category structure is probably a good idea or a bad idea. No? Sounds perfectly logical to me and an excellent way to know when to split categories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meeroo is a Brand name, their "thing" is a Mystical or fantasy pet, its unethical because it gave the company Meeroos as a whole a greater advantage over new customers exploring the marketplace when they see Meeroo standing out of a crowd of many other breedable pets. Having one brand name showing on the market place shows favoritism towards that particular thing, and other companies will want their name there as well, but this can't be done because companies come and go very fast, and the list can never be maintained. But LL have changed it so that the brandname is no longer on the category name. Yet they haven't made concessions to other types of pets by removing the category Breedable Pets, and just adding breedable Cats, Dogs & Horses. As it was suggested, LL should also have a category for Fantasy & Mystical Breedables, and a few additional ones, such as Sci-fi Breedables, Small Breedables and so on.

Foxy Petunia Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 I don't see where photography studios is a STRUCTURE or Building Component. That is just making it more difficult to find on something that should be listed under photography accessories at the least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see why they're updating the structure of the categories to begin with when there have been feature requests such as e-mail notification toggles for the past two years, which still haven't been delivered. As for ethics with linden labs, really? The company has ignored user requests over the past six years and will continue to do so for the next six [assuming they manage to progress that long].

Rosemaery Lorefield Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 I see they have changed it- I'm really bad at reading ahead! I get it's a brand name and that can cause concern. But really, what would you name a category that Meeroos fall under, other than "Other"? I think that's why LL made the category to begin with.

The category in question was called - 'Breedables/Meeroos' So in short, we are saying that Breedables should be the correct category name, as there are other breedable creators aside from Meeroo creators. Another example - if LL put Cars/Chevrolet - all the other car makers would be up in arms since it would be expected of them to list their cars under this category. hth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey Rosemaery, Like i mentioned in my previous reply, a category that would be suitible to the meeroo's would be some thing along the lines of Fantasy Breedable pet, or Mystical Breedable pet. I hope that the other answers on this page helps you to understand why the category shouldnt be named Meeroos. Best Regards.

Anaiya Arnold Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Yes, and there are also other mesh avatars and other mesh avatar clothes, shoes, and accessories. A category for such avatars and all their accessories makes more sense and is fairer than singling out one brand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Community Manager Linden Lab Posted May 24, 2012 Community Manager Share Posted May 24, 2012 Life can be a masquerade! We have a new banner in the Marketplace courtesy of Harper Beresford that links you to everything you'll need to attend any masquerade inworld. Also don't forget we have added a Masquerade category to the destination guide. If you have an upcoming masquerade event, please submit it for review to be added! Thank you!

Josh Susanto Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 >The category in question was called - 'Breedables/Meeroos' Please don't quote me out of context, but even I think that's a much too stupidly obvious mistake to possibly have been intentional favoritism. I have no problem giving LL credit this time for just getting a little bit ahead of itself and stumbling on some of the category logic that would otherwise have been really easy to manage. It looks to me much like a mistake such as someone would make trying to catch up and provide an immediate fix that can be adjusted later as necessary. That is, it's a comparatively unimportant problem, and the risk of creating it by doing categories too quickly is quite small in comparison to the danger of letting the Mad Men promotion continue (for example). It's much better to rush things that can be fixed, such as category protocol, than to rush things that really can't be fixed, like chosing a promotion with dubious IP provenance and nothing ready to replace it if something should go wrong. Moreover, it was fixed, and quickly. Isn't that what counts most of all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was quoting LL & the category that they originally had before they changed it to remove the word 'Meeroos'. The OP originally had these words and I quote: 'Breedables/Meeroos'. As a matter of fact, I was the first person on this thread to say it was unfair & should be removed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drake1 Nightfire Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 and the keyword spam begins. What does: A straight jacket, 12 skins, Xmas promo outfits, Living room furniture, any scripted weapon and a scarecrow have to do with the theme of Masquerade?

Technically it category spam, most of the spam on the first page dose not have Masquerade as a key word. Not that, that makes it any better.

Josh Susanto Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 >I wasn't quoting you at all & in fact, was replying to someone else's comment. Understood. I just meant to preven anyone reading from extracting the word "stupid" as an insult to LL, whch, in this case, it is not intended to be; only the specific thing that they did was stupid in terms of the result it momentarily produced. I hadn't meant the commentary as a whole to seem to be directed to you at all, but responses are always shown as being toward a particular person, so I am sorry about that. I did cut and paste your text, though, so I credited you with it out of habit. Your points about Breedables/Meroos have been spot on. The only point I had intended to make is that, as sinister as I tend to think a lot of things either are or might be, I don't want anyone assuming that I think the Breedables/Meroos thing is anything like a good example of something I would point to as showing the influence of Malefactor Linden.

Polenth Yue Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 Looking through, the masquerade category is managing better than madstyle. Masks, formalwear and ballroom items are winning over the random stuff. It's a small enough category that it wouldn't take someone long to clear out the listings that shouldn't be there. (Though there is a certain humour in some of them... I'm imagining someone turning up dressed up as a chicken for a fancy masked ball.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
