Yuukie Onmura Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 So the marketplace just unlisted an item of mine which has been listed (and selling) for a few months now - "due to banned text". And of course they let me f*ckn GUESS what piece of the longish description triggered the filter that makes european song birds into adult content... Any advice?

Artorius Constantine Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 Check the foreign language fields. I have been getting several a day unlisted for the past few days for the same reason. I fix them and then next day a dozen more get unlisted. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Artorius Constantine Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 Sorry, was worth a shot. Guess you're in that lovely place we call "hunt for an unknown word or combination of letters that looks like a banned word." But since they won't give us a list of the words it's a tough hunt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yuukie Onmura Posted July 6, 2021 Author Share Posted July 6, 2021 I guess Linden Lab doesn't actually WANT people to use the marketplace, after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emma Krokus Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 Since it's birds I wonder if one of the words used may rhyme with "twit". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yuukie Onmura Posted July 6, 2021 Author Share Posted July 6, 2021 nope, my stuff is not birds - its just that the stuff you're thinking of is the most famous example for LL's word filter on the MP being full of sh*t, thats why i mentioned it.

Coffee Pancake Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 Wow, that really does look all fine. I'm betting it's the mention of a very specific (and very litigious) brand of motorcycle. Remove that brand name and try again. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yuukie Onmura Posted July 6, 2021 Author Share Posted July 6, 2021 that might have been it - changed, listed, at least it didn't get delisted immediately. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoxyCyn Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 (edited) Using the name "Harley Davidson" is almost certain to draw unwanted attention. Edited July 12, 2021 by RoxyCyn 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yuukie Onmura Posted July 12, 2021 Author Share Posted July 12, 2021 I'm pretty sure by now the brand name was the reason - took it out, relisted my item, no problems so far... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabid Cheetah Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 Or could be "Geisha" or "butt plug" ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those were my first thoughts too ... but the SLM returns 6917 results for "Geisha", 1234 results for "butt plug", 14 for "Harley Davidson". Of the 14, most are keyword spam. 1 is a brave resident named HarleyDavidson, 1 is a rambling product description lamenting the requirement to remove the "Harley Davidson" logo. The OP's lurid yellow butt plug appears to be still be listed just fine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cuz they're both a pain in the ass. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artorius Constantine Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 I don't know of we are allowed to discuss the list of words here so I'm being a little obtuse, but I can say the suggestions here about a popular brand name being on the list are probably 100% correct. They added some words and some extra gating to the banned words list and that is (Probably, there's that obtuse part again.) one of them. One of my recently unlisted ads contained the words "Made from a bunch of old motorcycle parts...and the fender off a Harley Davidson Panhead." Removing the name fixed the issue, at east for that ad. Other ads had other words. I found 4 specific new 'banned' words myself. It took me over a week to clean up the mess. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eowyn Southmoor Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 Had a very similar thing happen to me last year, got two items removed because I used the word "Ford". Now a quick peek on MP will reveal lots of things either named Ford or with that word in the description, So i contacted support and got a reply, turns out it wasn't that I couldn't use the word, it was that, supposedly, the word Ford had no relation to the product I was selling - that sounds like the issue here , because I'm guessing there's not a huge link between butt plugs and Harley Davidsons Oh, by the way.. the products of mine that were supposedly unrelated to Ford : 2 famous Ford paint liveries designed to be applied on a Ford Mustang car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't really care if that one got pulled anyway. Was an ancient avatar made of og prims that I should have retired 6 or 7 years ago. Don't think I've even sold one in years. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
susana Palmyra Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 hello all: i am having the same issue, in this month, july 2021, ll is unlisting me more than 15 items, my store is a bdsm art gallery and all the items are signed as adult, can understand why they are unlisting me those items, where can i ask or what can i do, how can i find the banned words? would thank any help 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morcinna Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 Yeah.. when it comes to keywords at least, I really don't understand why they can't just remove the offending keywords instead of unlisting the entire thing. It's a big unnecessary headache tbh... just.. remove them and send us an email to let us know... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
