[Mild nudity and classic works of art. Rated M or rated A?]

When searching skins at Moderate and then again at General level I see all I need to see.

i don't mean to be contentious but if you knew the Moderate guidelines you posted were actually the Adult guidelines when you opened the topic for discussion and you know that the Moderate guidelines you've just posted are actually the real Moderate guidelines you knew already were the guidelines your marketplace items should follow then why ask in the first place?

as an exercise of discovery you could look under "Skins" with your maturity settings at Moderate and see if any images match your mind's eye for your products.

I'll do that but I already know what I'm going to see.

Yes I know.  Notice that there is no mention of nudity at all in moderate. That would imply that it is not allowed. You can chop someones head off but you can't show a females nipples. shakes head

I know that nudity is allowed on M rated sims but it seems it is not so on the marketplace. According to the guideline..

• Strong sexual content, including:
  • Depictions of anatomical nudity, including exposed genitals and/or female nipples.
  • Sexual avatar animations, including ones depicting explicit or highly-realistic sexual intercourse or oral sex.
  • Content or items intended for use in, or primarily associated with, erotic or sexual roleplay.
  • Explicit or frequent references to sex or sexual activity.

So it looks like anatomical nudity of any sort has no place in an M rating. A quick look on the marketplace shows that this is not being enforced to any degree.

Here is the problem.  I have classic works of art. Some 500 years old and yes they have depictions of anatomical nudity, including "exposed genitals and/or female nipples".These works of art hang in museums all around the world and are viewed by thousands of children everyday. SHOCKING! 

Technically these classics shold be rated A. At least according to the guideline.  Sorry.... putting "Birth Of Venus - Nicolas Poussin - 1636" in with hardcore pornography is just wrong LL.

It may have been acting up the other day it seems which could explain your results... The latter comments were just this past Wed. saying it was fixed.

 

 

I don't think the Relevance Sort is updating again. I removed keywords and everything but the word Demo from my demo listings. They still are showing on the back pages. Maybe it just takes time for the changes to show? I really don't want people to see my demos before the full product. This is very frustrating.

The marketplace default is Relevancy.  How you set it is not how others see it.  I just opened MP, searched your store with the Default Relevancy which is how it always opens unless the person, themselves changes it.  It doesn't show High to Low unless I myself,  set it to do so.

The first page of your store is always going to show as Default/Relevancy.

That's what it is doing for me too. Strange because I did several test the other day with alts and that is not the way it was. Weird! Weirdness tends to follow me whereever I go! LOL

That's okay because I think I have this solved now. I believe removing keywords and anything of relavance from the title and description should push the demos to the back pages. DUH!

I believe it's our (your customers) personal settings that are relevant and not yours.  Some people pull a search and sort by price or relevancy.  I always search using newest first.  Each person will see your store.differently depending on their own criteria.  People who search lowest price first will always see your demos on the first page.

 

 

Yes but I tested with alts and if I set my settings to sort by "high to low" that will be the default to those that visit my store.

[Put demos on back page of store?]

Okay, that works... Sort of.  lol   My settings keep reseting on their own and reverting to the default. Sometimes several times a day. Obviously I can't be checking my settings every 5 minutes to be sure my costomers are not seeing demos on the front page. Anyone have any thoughts?

Thank you very much!!!  I was about to pull out my hair

[Put demos on back page of store?]

I must be missing something. My demos are showing on the first page of my store. Usually before the full product. How can I push all my demos to the back pages? I know this can be done. I see pleanty if not all stores that have all their domos showing on the back pages.  Need help!
