rasterscan Posted September 5, 2023 Share Posted September 5, 2023 (edited) Dear rasterscan,The following product has been automatically unlisted due to banned text: lol gestures - box of laughs - 5 gestures pack. You people really need to start telling us people what words you are finding bannable. Driving me round the twist redoing and redoing and redoing the advert, wondering what word is offensive to your eyes cos I cant find it.

Wulfie Reanimator Posted September 5, 2023 Share Posted September 5, 2023 (edited) Historically the phrase "10LI" would get a product unlisted, maybe fiddle with the phrases around "lol"? Edited September 5, 2023 by Wulfie Reanimator 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rowan Amore Posted September 5, 2023 Share Posted September 5, 2023 Maybe because it looks like a way around typing loli? Short for lolicon? 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was wondering if maybe it was something in a different part of the product description (being uncertain if what was sent is supposed to be the "offending text" or not). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mizogoi Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 (edited) I know this thread's been in active a while, but I didn't know if it was better to start a new one or not. I got this same message and on of my products was delisted. I think the word it picked was "Snipe", which happens to be the name of the boat my product is for. A fairly well selling boat. My other Snipe related boat products have been on MP longer and have not ever been delisted. So I thought, ok maybe it's a different word? But I can't fathom what it finds as a banned word? Here's the link as long as it lasts until they delist it again? https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/Snipe-Ferrari-2024-F1/25752663 Here's the screenshot with all the text I have. If it delists again, is there anyone I can contact about it? The help link seem particularly non-helpful. ♥♥Mizi Edited February 22 by Mizogoi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This right here is almost certainly the reason. Attribution of trademarked and copyrighted branding/logos isn't permission. Get a letter from Ferrari saying you have the rights to use their logo and branding, show it to LL, and that might solve the problem. Reading the text I can't see any other reason, it has to be the use of a obvious brand. Edited February 22 by Katherine Heartsong 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is certainly interesting, as a casual user may assume "banned words" is more like "profanity", etc. I guess LL never got around to using more specific, helpful communications messages for when a user has a listing removed due to "infringing or unauthorized content", etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose that's why all that trademarked content is still up on the MP. Maybe Ferrari did file a complaint? We'll never know. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless there is a "popular brands" filter, then listing would be caught "up front when posted" (like actual profanity is). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mizogoi Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 I'll go out on a limb a bit and say that I figure since I'm not using their indicia to sell race cars or anything outside of a digital representation that is almost useless outside of the platform it's made for, that it is fair to use. If that's wrong, that's fine. It's not a hill to die on, and as such my works are fairly innocuous. Maybe "if you can't beat 'em, join 'em" isn't the best defense, but there's a ton of content that seems to be allowed on MP and in-world that, if you stretch it is in more directly in competition with "real" brands (i.e, a virtual dress after a RW dress designer). As such, my works are intended as a way to show love and support as a fan. In this case for popular and fast F1 motorsports teams. But as a few of the replies have suggested, there wasn't a message that my content was in violation for using copyrighted material or some IP violation, it was for the use of a "banned word", which has an entirely different connotation. As it is, it seems the removal of "Ferrari" (which, by the way is a surname used by many people not directly associated with the car company) has allowed the item to stay. Thanks for the input, everyone. I appreciate it. Mizi 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cackle Amore Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 (edited) I had an item that retroactively had a banned word in the description when I was trying to update it. Don't even remember exactly what word it was but I do remember being confused by what seemed to been the trigger. Some games and services have strange choices of banned words, for example freaking is filtered out in text chat on sea of kings, freakin is fine though.
