ROFL! seriously, ROFL.

Guys... listen. You made your point. You had some senior Lindens note you. You have an accepted Jira.

Now, stop the histronics and furry drama. It's going to be looked at

And we will continue making our point until the issue is resolved and some actions are taken. For many creators, this is our livelihood and our items being constantly flagged is detrimental.

Dude, stop the tagging storm now, you are as bad as the person flagging these items with that spam. (1) It only needs to be done once. (2) wft do I have to do with it?

Typical bloody furry drama.

You're obviously in with the LL MP team, as you've shown in your replies, so maybe he thought you could bring it to their attention or had a way to contact them directly

Greetings!

The only items that should be in the Avatar Accessories sub categories are accessories, such as jewelry, wings, hair, etc., 

Furry accessories is a separate sub-category for Avatar Accessories for similar items designed specifically for Furry Avatars. 

Skins, eyes, legs, clothing, weapons, textures, etc., should be in the respective sub-categories for those types of items. 

If an item is a full perm Mesh item created to allow others to add the items to their own builds that they are creating, then the most appropriate category is the Building and Object Components - Mesh Creators Tools

If the item is a completed, aka "after market" item designed for avatar owners to change the look of their existing avatar, then the listing should be placed into the Avatar Components - Cosmetic Enhancements category.  

Items can be appropriate in more than 1 category, however, only Avatar Accessories should be placed into the Avatar Accessories sub-categories. 

This information is stated in the Marketplace Listing Guidelines, located here:

https://marketplace.secondlife.com/listing_guidelines

https://marketplace.secondlife.com/listing_guidelines#category-guidelines

"Select the most appropriate category for the item"

 

Creators are now trying to comply with these rules but our items are already being flagged for not being in the furry accessories category because they are furry items.. We cannot relist them in furry accessories and we cannot relist them in the correct categories because if they continue to get flagged, the item will be banned. So please, tell me what we're supposed to do? How can we make a living and income if our items are getting flagged even in what LL dictates as the correct category?..

There's a LL employee mass flagging all furry items put into the furry accessories, regardless if it's a furry accessory. Such as armor for a feral furry avatar, or eyes specifically fit to a furry head. It's not only myself that's getting flagged, many furry creators are having this issue. Several of us have contacted LL by submitting a ticket, and this same LL employee has replied to all of us and replying with the same generic response. But giving this examples of why there is a furry accessories category; because furry accessories don't fit normal avatars. This is the definition of all furry products. They do not fit human avatars or products. They are suggesting to put furry clothing for a specific furry avatar into the unisex clothing section. It's not unisex clothing, there are male and female options usually and for furry avatars and furry parts.

Furry customers, for the most part, only shop in the furry accessories section for mods, clothing, eyes and addon parts. This is the only furry section creators can use to display their furry products, unless it's a full furry avatar, there is a section for that. If we're forced to put our furry products in human categories, where furries have to sift through hundreds of thousands of products to find their niche furry item or have humans having to sift through furry items they have no need of, it's going to cause businesses to lose sales. And if businesses lose sales, Linden Labs loses sales. Because they no longer get the MP percentage cut, or the Linden Exchange percentage cut because creators are no longer making enough money. And why now? We've been using this category for many years now and all of a sudden this one Linden, who is a furry, decides we can no longer use it for our products.

I've just had this product flagged; Eyes for furry heads. And another content creator I know just had this flagged; digi-grade clothing for furry avatars. Having these items in a non-furry category will cause unwanted sales. If a human sees these products and purchases them, but does not know or realize they are specifically for furries (I've even had this happen IN the furry category) than that will cause bad reviews.

This can only lead to confusion, loss of sales and more false flagging from humans who see furry items and believe they are in the wrong category.

How do you report MP abuse by a linden employee? There is an employee mass unlisting furry products and deleting them if you try to relist them. This one Linden is answering any and all tickets related to this problem, and is not being helpful in any way.
