    That post is appreciated, but as many on this forum have already mentioned, we've addressed these issues on Jira, and it appears that this same issue has been mentioned -several- times on Jira in the past with the same issues being brought up. This method of adding more marketplace listing categories seems like the absolute best fix, as it would help content creators, and, as you mentioned, the Lindens themselves. It's upsetting that your team is not in charge of, nor has a hand in this, and rather odd since it does indeed affect you guys. If I may ask, then, is there something we can do to really press for  those over at JIRA to consider finally putting the category expansions into affect? We've made our posts and given our feedback in detail. The waiting game is fine, I know this will take some time for those over at JIRA to review, but in the mean time, what should I be doing as a content creator who is getting flagged in such high volumes, especially on items that are indeed listed under the categories that Lindens are suggesting?

    To also clarify, my team does not suspend accounts for items that may have been flagged for being in an incorrect category. When we receive flags for a listing we review them for the reason they were flagged, such as incorrect categories, and go from there to decide if the item is unlisted with a suggested category provided. To add onto what Tommy mentioned before, if we unlist an item from a flag we receive it's not to abuse the merchant, but to enforce pre-existing Marketplace policies to try and create some order in the chaos that is the Marketplace.

    This at least gives me some form of  relief, as I am nervous about relisting an item and being banned  for listing it again under the right category. I am here. I am listening. I want to comply, but I also want to make sure that my shop is staying up and running and that my customers can find my product, and that I don't have to stress so much about having another day in which I have 20+ items of my inventory being randomly flagged and taken down.

  2. I'll be keeping an eye on this forum for a bit then. As a  content creator I am extremely concerned,  frustrated, and confused about how to handle this. I thought my first ticket today was going to be a fine way to handle things. As I recall mentioning in my initial ticket, I AM a furry content creator, and even I realize that  the Furry Accessories tab is not really ideal for all content there. But Lindens, please keep in mind that as niche as furry stuff is, it's still very  large and has grown to great lengths over the years. A lot of creators make skins, body attachments and addons, ears, tails, heads, paws, clawed hands, clothing specifically tailored to said furry body attachments and addons as well as furry avatars that are their own mesh rigged bodies...I could sit here and list off things for an hour or more. The category desperately needs expanded upon to prevent issues like this in the future. 

    Until the categories can be expanded, I will grit my teeth and place items in the categories suggested to me...but if residents are unhappy about this ( and judging from my flag count today, they clearly are ), then I really am quite stuck.

    I may not make  thousands of dollars from my linden income, but I do consider myself to rely on it  for safety in my times of financial needs. Many times has my linden balance saved my household from hunger or medical attention because I was able to withdraw. My sales are important to me, even in the  lower priced items, and I need them to be up and ready for my consumers, as well as conveniently accessed and able to be located.

    Well, this is certainly an interesting thread! I will admit, I do not know very much about the furry community, except that everyone I have met from it thus far, is quite friendly and great to interact with! 

    I do not work specifically on the marketplace, this did prompt me to go on a quest to get some education, and I must say, I never expected it to be such a complex subject. Thanks to my fellow Lindens in a furry chatroom on our chat system (yes, some of us Lindens ARE furries) though for helping to answer some of my questions.

    So, I can put some of your fears to rest, we do not go out of our way to personally flag things on the marketplace. We get so many flags from our Residents, that we are always incredibly busy just reviewing those. 

    I can also tell you, that we hear, we are listening to your concerns, and feedback. I know Dakota, as well as myself and others have passed along the feedback for need of additional categories. 

    I've actually met some of the Lindens who are furries, but are any of them creators? I feel like some sort of insight with a furry creator on your team would be beneficial, as this is quite a problem for the business owners that provide content for the furry  world.  As myself and Braelynn talk more on this issue, I'm starting to wonder if there is some harassment going on with another resident between us, but I am unsure how to actually address this via any sort of ticket, as I don't even know who it could be. 

     

    Today ALONE I have had over 20+ items flagged. That is unheard of for me, and some of them WERE on the correct categorization. I am at a loss, but this is important to me to be resolved. I am losing income as these items continue to be flagged and unlisted.

  4. So If the flags are indeed happening from resident users and not LL, I want to know what to do about this problem. It is happening to me as well, and now my items that were made for furries, but were LISTED under the appropriate category ( Women's Pants, in this example ) was flagged for being the wrong category. So it sounds like human players are getting upset about the furry items in their category and flagging it.

    Dakota, I hope you're still looking at this forum. I was just having a ticket with you about this. I went to Jira and submitted my own reply as well about this. What am I expected to do in this situation now? Where on earth, if not furry accessories, and not women's pants, can I put something like Digi-grade pants?

    Truth be told I'm starting to feel like I'm being harassed. I've sat here all day combating with flags now. I had plans to continue my work today and instead I've had to constantly go back and forth relisting items, some of which were even in the right category to begin with.

  5. Hey, SOrry if this isn't the proper place to post this. I havent ever really had to use the forums. Let me try to explain my situation in the best and quickest way...

     

    So I've been playing Secondlife for a good while. The latest viewer has run fine for me...etc. Friday, I've moved up to my cousin's place because I'm taking a job with him for the summer. His internet source is completely amazing...ten times better than mine at home. I've been trying to log into Secondlife now for about 5 tries, and everytime, it crashed me once the loading screen reaches 'Loading World'. I'm on a MAC so indeed, my stuff's a bit different. But I've never had this problem! And It's surprising I'm having it here with this awesome internet. Please let me know if there's anything I can do. I'm decent with computers I suppose, but not so much the lingo. If you're gonna give advice on what to do try to guide me through it in baby steps please x.x; 

     

    Thanks for your help
