Posted: Tue Apr 08, 2008 12:37 pm Post subject: APO Product Submissions - New Restriction
Hey all,
Sometime tomorrow evening, we are going to remove the ability from General Audience creators the ability to submit Access Pass Products.
This is not going to change or alter any already submitted product, this will only affect new products submitted once turned on.
I also spoke to Cliff about this with regards to the AP community and the only concern was already submitted products, which is not going to be affected. In addition if a GA account has already submitted, they will still be able to make changes to it but wont be able to gift or wear them around other GA members.
Thanks,
Rob

Since when are we able to edit our submitted AP products as GA users? They don't appear in any of my item lists. How is that done, because I'd like to hide all of those too, so you can't continue making money off my work while claiming I'm not allowed access to it.
The products do not vanish, they just cant be seen by other GA users. The creator will be able to see the product and use it, but no one else will be able to see it.
I am also asking to make sure when this gets turned on, to allow the creator to go back and edit the product in the catalog so they can make any changes necessary so it can be re-rated.
Thanks,
Rob

Ok everyone, this is now live.
Also, if a creator who is not an AP account has their product re-rated to AP, they will still be able to go into the catalog and make the necessary fixes. This was a new addition I asked from requests here.
Thanks,
Rob

now I'm confused too...LOL not hard to do...but if i understand right, if a GA person is in a room with AP users wearing an AP outfit that they made, then the GA person will see all the AP people in their default green tshirts, and all the AP people will see the GA person in the AP outfit in their default gree tshirts too. LOL thats too too funny, eveybody will get all dressed up, but everybody will be wearing green tshirts to the ga user, and the ga user will be wearing a green tshirt to all the ap users
is that right?

the Ap users will see the Ga person in the Ap outfit/or with the AP item but the GA ppl will see default green which is the way im percieving this the Ga person can see the item as it is there own hope that helps
This is correct. I even tested this to make sure and it works.
IMVU takes exposure of teen users to AP content very seriously, and continue to improve our processes to prevent this from happening. We also appreciate the active involvement of our community in flagging inappropriate GA content when they find them.
We are always open to suggestions from the community on improving our processes to protect teen users. The best place to send me those suggestions is creatorsupport@imvu.com

would sorta be cool if IMVU created a bot account for developer announcements...or maybe just use GR's avatar to send little home page messages like IMVU Helper and Greenbacks....
and i am still waiting to see them use Nola the right way
back to topic: I sure hope this doesn't deliver broken. _________________

Did you intend to suggest that a GA account, i.e., an account with no AP, can wear AP items as long as its not around "other" GA members?

The point will be that no one other than the person wearing the item will see it unless they have an access pass. So they can make things, but their friends can't see (unless they have AP) and they can't be gifted.
Basically that would make it pretty pointless for a GA developer to make AP clothing and wear it unless they hung around AP holders a lot or they didn't mind everyone seeing the oh so beautiful green t-shirt and shorts. _________________
or they are sticker/art makers and they want to peddle their products by doing page design items...since peer review will snag them up.
think like a criminal.
someone will be happy to use their AP product that no GA user can see...
AP users will see it? so underaged kiddos can make an AP item and hang with adults, thus confusing adults that they HAVE the AP and are older than they seem?
gawd i hope i am misunderstanding this. _________________

*raises hand* Question...what happens to an AP holder who happened to buy a AP product from a GA developer who goes and redesigns said AP product into a GA product?
I mean, the AP buyer BOUGHT an AP product and expects it to remain such.
Or is this just one more way to screw with AP holders AND try to force GA developers into purchasing the AP if they are of age?

Tell me this Rob: What is to keep a GA developer who has made an AP product, say a particular male appendage, from using it when with an unsuspecting GA girl? It seems you are left wide open for this kind of abuse. No matter how many restrictions or so called blocks to anyone.
I mean, sure only that particular developer can see what he is doing....just kind of makes it easy for predators, doesn't it?
The same holds for any AP user who intends abuse.
This just makes it more and more clear you cannot have GA/AP and expect to protect the kids and still allow adults their privileges too on the same program....more reason for IMVU for kids and IMVU for 18+ _________________
