This totally solved my issue! Thank you!

To reiterate, I made a post about our ROLE PLAY sim and posted it in the Role Play forum. I didn't see an issue since there are many posts about role play sims on that particular forum (not just Jo Yardley's). It is about roleplay. It is not a shopping sim, or a photography sim, a club, or an "ooc hangout" sim, but a place with a background story, story line, and completely "in character"--so, Role Play. My post was moved to a "destinations" forum and I wasn't told it was being moved or why. It simply wasn't there, and I didn't find it until after I went to the list of my posts that I could see that it hadn't been removed but moved, and where it was moved to. I also want to point out that there are no guidelines for what is considered acceptable for the Role Play forum, or what makes one post okay for Role Play and what makes it into a "destination" post. My post was neither "off-topic" nor did it violate any other rules. Rhonda noted that "they" (she used the word "we"), didn't want my "ad" in Role Play. However, when looking for a new location or community to join to Role Play, I certainly do not go to the "destinations" forum, neither do any of the people I asked. WE go to the "Role Play" forum. The guidelines ( http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Linden_Lab_Official:Community_Participation_Guidelines ) state that: "Spamming, Solicitation and Advertising: Spamming is not allowed. This includes aggressive self-promotion. No advertising or promotion of specific Second Life merchants, Marketplace listings, products, or services, unless the forum area is specifically for the buying or selling of Second Life products or services, for example, a “for sale” or “wanted” forum. Do not reference other websites offering any product or service." I'm not selling a product, I'm not looking to buy. I'm not asking anyone for money. I'm not offering products or services. I'm certainly not advertising or promoting "specific Second Life merchants, Marketplace listings, products, or services" It might be an advertisement, but not for product or any of those things listed. It is for role play, to let others know that there are new role play opportunities. Not a destination. I agree that my second post could be considered "spam" since I had two posts about the same thing, but I only wanted to make sure that my post about "Role Play" was in the appropriate forum. So then I wonder if I had posted about my role play group, seeking police or fire department or hospital staff? Would that had been considered appropriate? What would "we" consider valid to post on the roleplay forum? If I were a person seeking police role play and posted "does anyone know a good place... " and someone responded with a link to their own sim, would that be advertisement and subject to removal? Just askin... for a friend.

Thank you. There are MANY posts showcasing rp environments on that thread some from this month. I didn't think I was doing anything wrong with making my post there.

I don't see how letting people know of a new role play environment and inviting them to come play is an "ad". I'm not selling anything, I'm not charging an entry fee, rentals are available but not a requirement to play. People solicit roleplay on this forum all the time "seeking rp'r for...", "looking to start a new sim and need... ". I don't see the difference. I'm offering role play opportunities.

I'm trying to find out where to contact someone in regards to a post I made that was removed/edited. I made my first post on the "Role Play" forums. We've opened a role play sim and I wanted to let people know about it. It got moderated and moved to "destinations" forum. We aren't a destination, we are strictly IC for role play--with a theme, genre, etc. So yes, I made a new post for the sim in the "Role Play" forum. This time I did not include a SLURL, but a link to the roleplay website instead. I got a warning for spamming. I wanted to talk to someone about it, but I can't find support for this forum. I don't want my post in destinations. I want it in Role Play. I thought at first it got moved because it included a SLURL (I can't find criteria anywhere to what constitutes a "role play" worthy post, or what makes it "destination"), so I left it out the second time. Feed back or help is much appreciated

Try deleting the picture and reloading one?

No, they don't show up in my "listing" or "manage listings" list. But when I went to associate the new demo to a new listing, or add associated items, they still do show up, and despite it being a "deleted" item, it allowed me to append it. Also, I believe I deleted the demo and unlisted it and waited a few hours before uploading the new one.

So I accidentally uploaded a DEMO that I forgot to retexture. I go in and I DELETE it from my items. I fix the DEMO in world, reload it to the MP, and when I start listing the items and go to chose the DEMO, both DEMO's old and new show up still! Of course, I chose the WRONG one, and one of my links to a DEMO worked. I had to go back, RENAME the NEW DEMO, relink. What's up with deleting stuff not deleting?

Okay, I found a solution! Here: http://aman4allseasons.wordpress.com/2012/04/16/rigged-mesh-and-textures/ So turns out my kit skirt was a nanoprim thing so i had to make it big and then texture it

I have this issue, though I can't create mesh for the life of me, textures are my thing. So i purchased a kit and worked on a texture and uploaded it and applied it. I see it fine, if i open it, no one else does. they just see a blurry color similar to the pattern but it never fully loads. So reading all the responses here, is this an issue I need to talk to the creator about?

Heh... waaay back in the day, when it didn't even occur to me to use an alt, I used to be a greeter. I had a "friends" list a mile long, because I wanted the people I mentored and "greeted" to be able to contact me with questions and such. Some were pretty cool and we wound up being good friends. One of those "good" friends kinda, well... I think he was just obsessed with me. This was a time when we could map all friends without having to give them permission (oh geeze... remember those days? cheating partners caught by having their partner tp right on top of them when... uh.. anyway... back). So yeah, someone in my circle of friends was obsessed and we had a few incidents. After deleting, muting and banning from my lands he just kept creating noobs and waiting for me on greeter island, friending me, and tracking me all over the place, sitting there just within chat range when I was hanging out with friends, etc. He even created an alt and "dated" one of my best rl/sl friends. Finally, I made an alt and started over. Only a few select knew. Now I have like.. 8 and those "select few" from 5 years ago are still the "select few", plus one or two I've added to the circle. I no longer build or greet (do people do that still?), I'm more selective of whose friendship a accept, and I use all alts in different RP venues. IF I happen to run into someone I actively rp with elsewhere I do have the courtesy of telling them who I am just on principle. It feels deceitful, even if its not intentional.
