They just want the items you uploaded to SL. They don't want the blender and photoshop files. So if you make a makeup and upload it. They want to see the folder from SL. So they can see if it meets their standards of how they asked you to put the folder together.

I don't think that is the case, I think they are doing it. So they can make sure that the folders the items for the Senra body is as simple as possible for new users.

It does make sense. SL can be overwhelming at the best of times for us experienced users. Imagine what it's like for a new user, especially if they are thrown into the metaphorical lions den. When it comes to the actual mesh bodies and clothes they have to unpack.

Look at this from this point of view, especially for some people who joined when we had rigged mesh. So you open your package and see a bunch of different sizes, for a new user that would be overwhelming. I mean even as a long-time user, especially after a shopping spree it can get overwhelming to go through and unpack everything. Then take a few minutes to delete everything. They want to Keep it as simple as possible for the new user, even down to how a creator puts together the folder.

We don't know that part, so don't say that. You may create a panic for no reason.

I think they are doing this approval method, to see if the creators are following the guidelines of how they packed their items. That being said, I totally understand the frustration. But I can also see why they are doing this. As they are trying to make this as simplistic as possible for new users. So by reviewing to see if you followed the packing standards. They are ultimately helping the new user.

Well today is Maintenance day, so they could have made a whoopsie and rolled it right back.

Good news everyone!!! New SL photos of me, Yaay!!! I hopes you guys enjoy 💚

But the point is, you can't just teach a person one thing. Lets use Sex in SL and expect them to understand SL. The teacher would be doing a disservice to the student, only teaching them one subject.

I mean some people view life as a game, as a means to motivate themselves and push themselves to do and be better. I used to be like that actually, and it helped me a lot.

Um what does nature vs nurture, and behavioural modification have to do with user retention?

Well when you say, let LL focus and cater on Sex and BDSM and then call SL a 3D porn world. I mean it's not that hard to misinterpret. You want a virtual sex world. That is it. You think that it will bring more people. Your intentions have always been to do that.

I would like to see all big mesh bodies get rid of alpha cuts. It would be more optimal for the body.

People who make two forum threads that bring up the same thing. Unsuccessfully. If the first time wasnt so fruitful for you. Why try again?

That wasn't your words at all. You said that LL should focus and only cater to the Sex and BDSM demographic. Then you called it a 3D porn world. Clearly this is what you want. It would be more like Hey, come to SL your virtual red light district. Where we will cater to your every desire. And people would notice a huge change and the people uncomfortable with it would leave and it would hurt LL.

But do you really that the numbers for people banging pixels outweigh every other activity out there? If you can show the statistics. Seeing a bunch of regions and their visitor count, doesn't equate the overall population of people in SL banging pixels. But yet you want to basically turn SL into a 3D Porn world, and practically throw the other communities out. How is that fair. I have not once said that sex should be out of SL. But you sure as heck said that LL should cater to one demographic and the rest of us can pound salt.

But yet you are okay for LL to only cater to your demographic, and leave out all the rest of us.

That does not equate to, that every new user is only here to bang pixels, nor does it equate to everyone is having sex or is in SL to just have sex. It also doesn't mean you discriminate against many of the other communities that make up SL.

Well for one, you sagu. That this is the Internets avatar porn hub, that is subjective. Other people do think differently than you. Home Depot is a home repair and construction store. It caters to one demographic. Totally different to SL, which caters to many demographics. So that is a bad comparison. And lastly so we sell them on sex and basically say screw all the other communities in SL? No, we don't. As many people have said, people don't come to SL for the same thing.

I said that I don't think LL should be making this system and that the user created systems were good enough. That isn't me saying that these systems shouldn't exist.

I'm not. Lol

Okay I am just gonna say this, no one cares if you and other people in SL are banging pixels. We know it happens and if you want to do it. All the power to you. But my problem was, that you said that LL should cater to one and only one demographic. Which happens to be the community you are a part of. Acting like the BDSM sex is community is far more superior than any other community in SL. That is my problem.

You did just say that. Basically me saying that we don't need to throw away multiple demographics for just one demographic. Is me saying that sex should somehow be hidden and is somehow icky. I never said that, she is just putting words in my mouth.

No, others think it should go away. I don't think ll should take anything away-I think they need to add more to help with retention and cater to more people not less Where in my sentence did I say it should go away. I think I said I was fine with the user created systems, just not something that is through the viewer. Please do not put words in my mouth.

SL is not entirely a 3D porn world, it is a diverse open world virtual platform. No one has said once to not mention sex. Just that it's not a 3D porn world, just to you. We play our SLs our own way, I use mine to shop explore take pics and dress my avatar. As I said your world, your imagination. So if it's a 3D porn world to you. That is fine. But it's not gonna be it for everyone else.
