Peer Review Changes Discussion

Recently there have been changes in IMVU's peer review system.

IMVU's Staff post can be found here for anyone that wants to keep track of it: https://help.imvu.com/apex/IMVUCommunit ... 01APyb5CAD

So far there have been speculations of it being about Copyrights, Music copyrights, BM products, and anything with a pose. These are ALL speculations, remember that, its what developers assume its about. Truth is we really are not sure, and IMVU likes it that way.

To be honest, to me, it seems as if this is one of IMVU's classic selected groups have been tested, now they have rolled it out to more of the majority to see how it goes. They do this every so often, and right now it IS causing a ruckus. Not confident in them changing it, but they may lower their percentage in the new algorithm, theres a possibility its to high.

The key thing to understand is what staff said "We will continue to adjust the algorithm with an aim to get the best quality catalog with as little friction as possible."
So this will be an ongoing thing until they figure it out for it to run smoothly.

Tip: Others have been editing the product or the description and then resubmitting their products, this can sometimes bump the product into automated Peer Review. It has worked for me 3 times so far.

Lastly, don't stop creating due to it. You'll have a bit of an advantage over alllll the devs that stopped creating. There are many, so just keep that in mind.

Please continue to discuss this, give tips, add concerns etc. ----v

So that's why my products weren't passing immediately I guess, I had to wait for over 24h. Hope it will be back as it used to be

Yep, but I don't see it going back to the way it was before. It may take less time in the future, but we'll see.

Then it will be way more difficult to pass BM as it seems

Not sure on that, I haven't heard any complaints about BM products not passing yet. So I am curious to see feedback from that as well, from our community.

Well, once it is staying 24h like one of my poses , there is a tiny risk to get it flagged

well from what i seen music triggers stay in peer review for 3 days then get failed other products including mine takes about 5/6days then they norm get to it

Reading the comments in their post a lot of people who aren't agreeing with the idea. They don't like having 200k+ people back online so they have to do some shitty changes . If they don't change that back, probably I will quit paying for my VIP and also creating

We already found a way around it when dealing with BM.

Quoting Don: Mesh detector is not part of Peer Review. Mesh detector happens after peer review. All products have been tested against mesh detector. If the product's page in our catalog is marked as "expired", then the product failed against mesh detection. Otherwise, it passed mesh detection.

Tip from another dev: CLICk Create --> Edit and put pid open your item that is stuck in peer view and just rename the item Apply ok submit.

This tip worked for a few people. But again all its doing is bumping the item back to automated PR, which makes it pass faster.

Latest on PR: More things are passing normally now, either staff got faster or they silently changed some things. However there are still groups of devs that are experiencing alot of difficulty with this.
