Well an update on my issue. I contacted the LL IP team, and was told the reason my two items were pulled were because one word I used as a search keyword wasn't relevant to my products. Basically, according to them, I am guilty of keyword spamming.
I'm not going to argue the validity of this, as I can prove quite simply to any reasonable person how the word I included does relate to my products, the real issue here is that these items haven't simply been unlisted, they've been removed. If all I need to do is remove a word or two from the keyword search, then why not simply unlist the product and tell me? Now, on my product listings page, there is no option to edit these items, all I can do is delete them.
This really sucks; would there be any point opening a ticket referencing this forum thread and requesting that the items be restored? Good luck anyway.

Perhaps there will be more stores in world, and maybe that will be nice. A majority of my sales are via the marketplace, and I'll be adjusting pricing there to accommodate the increased fees, since people can easily come and shop in world instead if they'd like to save a few lindens
That's the case for pretty well all of us who maintain our full product range on the marketplace (the sales proportion, not necessarily the price adjustments).
Really I'm happy to still be making a good living at this malarkey after 12 years in business (whew!).

Granted; but now all your loved ones are getting itchy wool socks, and for Christmas lunch you're having Brussels sprouts surprise.
I wish the rain (in Cornwall) would stop.

OK, I jest, but I once took my computer to be serviced because various hostile governments had savaged it.
well ok, and how did that make you feel?

Bit rude, bit supercilious, bit of an undeserved superiority complex showing <sighs> still, the main thing is the Lindens will totally read all this, will totally change how they do stuff (doing stuff is, I imagine, pretty much their entire job description) and then everything will be peachy keen. Or not. Probably not. How long ago was this outage anyway?

This idea that the utterly faux concept of "net neutrality" is something "that changed" is the most laughable thing I've heard in this discussion and I think you're smarter than that, Rey.
First of all, SL didn't change "for everybody" -- it's as bad or worse as it always has been. You find it better -- for who knows what reason. I have a new computer and new graphics card -- it was better for awhile; now it's terrible again.
"Net neutrality" is an ideology conceived by a professor in a university. Real life is far more complicated. Obama didn't succeed in somehow establishing socialism -- including the socialism of "net neutrality," which is why we have AOC and her posse. Trump didn't succeed in dismantling whatever state of affairs existed under Obama such as to say we "lost" something or that somehow it was "regained".
Companies did not suddenly start charging higher fees to have data go faster here. The price of our phone bills is exactly the same as it was under Obama. AWS servers, which companies I work for rent in various large numbers do not charge more or work faster or do anything differently now than they did under Obama. All of this is sheer lunacy.

Your best bet is always contacting the gacha vendor and asking them.

For people whose RL work *is* SL (that would not be me), who make their living in SL, who are creators, merchants, etc. -- service outages affect their livelihood, and so they matter. And the Lindens need to give full reports of them (this was not a full report).
snippety snip
That would be moi, actually, and I didn't notice. Perhaps it was night time here and I was asleep, or maybe I was out buying the prosecco, vim and marmite that fuels my meat body (lolz).
Still, all better now, right?
ps. kidding about the marmite, obviously. Oh, vim is a scouring powder, very good on burnt on stuff and lavatories (I'm told).

There was an outage? oh.

Microtransactions absolutely everywhere!
Yes, yes there are. And you know why? Because I need prosecco, vim and pasta. chuh.

It sounds a bit like Club Baby Seals, which truly was a place back in 2008 ish I think. It had a membership and entrance fee and aimed at being an elite place. I never saw the point as back then I used to go dancing at The Boathouse, which was lively, small, fun and friendly.

the other thread reported "zany" to be a forbidden word. No idea what zany means (english is not my native language) and can't be arsed to look it up... sounds naughty though
It means whacky, attractively crazy, very lively in colouration (for objects); the behaviour of manic pixie dream girl characters in films is often described as zany, the sort of person who dances on tables and does funny voices, unconventional, a bit eccentric.

That's odd - I have Neve and have just had the latest update delivered. It has Omega pre-installed and as with all the LAQ heads you can use their skin and make up appliers for a wider variety of looks. Going by the group chat, quite a lot of people have posted various looks they've done with this head. Of course, Mallory makes a lot of heads, and people have their favourites. I have Leia, Neve, Maxine (pre-Bento) and Noelle and wear them all. What sort of support do you find is lacking? Have you contacted the store with an issue and not heard back? It's usually worth sending a notecard and IMs, just in case a message is missed.

I watched some videos but I don't see a really significant benefit to this BoM besides skins? Yeah you no longer have to chuck out old skins now, but besides that is there anything else I'm missing? I mean it's great you can now paint system layer clothing onto your mesh body, but who even does that when it's the exact same affect as applier clothing, which no one uses? Even for lingerie and stockings you'd want some 3D depth so everyone buys mesh versions of those as well. BoM pants or skirt? Yuck, yeah if you want to look like a 2006 avatar I guess.
If the whole point of BoM was just to salvage old skins... well then I guess disregard this post.
A lot of people do use applier clothing; to layer under closely fitting mesh, to make a quick to load outfit for shopping at fairs and events and for other reasons too. I get asked for more applier items all the time.

I'm so glad I could help, you're very welcome xxxxx

Just a thought, have you copied the lower texture into the socks line on the Maitreya texture loader notecard? I forgot to copy the upper part into the gloves line and had shorter sleeves than I should have had on a sweater for a while until I realised!!

I just checked and hilariously an old dress of mine was unlisted. I tried relisting it. Banned word in description. Oookay, could word be cocktail? Nope, erm, neoprene? Nope. Could word actually be name of dress? Dress called Tiffany. Name taken out of description. Item still automatically unlisted. Banned word in name field. Name is problem word. Name was not problem word in June this year when dress last sold on marketplace (is VERY old dress). Dress deleted from marketplace, because name change not possible and very old dress after all. Curiosity winning, do quick search for word 'Tiffany' on marketplace. Find 4183 matching results, in many categories, some from store called Tiffany. Tiffany is girl's name, so not surprising, also no disrespect to store on marketplace called Tiffany - is nice name, hence why chose it for dress. Also many dresses and outfits etc. also called Tiffany from other stores. Am confuse. Will have coffee. Am glad is only old dress.
LL, why though? Because Tiffany is famous shop? John Lewis also famous shop, so nothing called John or Lewis now?

Probably, sadly, yes. Some items might be worth keeping if you love the style and you don't have to make too many concessions to your shape and HUD alpha usage, but by and large you might as well chuck it all out. If you still have texture clothes you love you can still use those with a BOM (bakes on mesh) compatible viewer.

Are you sure the tattoo design is in the correct place on your texture? The Maitreya UV is the same as the default avi UV, so if your texture works on that then it should apply correctly. I don't make tattoos, but I have made pantyhose for Maitreya and it applies correctly so long as the texture is correct.

Marketplace does have a "store page" for each merchant, but it's just a banner above the item listings. You can add profile text, policies, and a blog link. So there's a place to put such info, but it's not displayed in a place where the customer is likely to read it.
A nice touch for merchant pages would be a current picture of the inworld store, taken by some LL server once a week or so. Then you could see if the store was still there, and what it looked like. More people would look at the merchant page if it had more to look at. Merchants should be able to offer a video or two.
Eek, but my store is not very attractive from the outside! It IS still there though, so that's something!

Sadly no; there is one description box, and if there is already some varying text in that, which is likely, you cannot add a paragraph after the existing text except by doing it one listing at a time.
