Haha! What's up Mafia Fam! Thought I'd share a little meme to sum up my RP experience during this weekend.
I'm not entirely sure when it happened but it seems that IMVU has did a stealth roll out for a newly improved chat censoring tool that blocks certain words. Depending on which colorful language you use you will receive an 'admin message' that looks like this:

As you can see Pussy, Dick, and Vagina are all naughty words. 'Titty' and 'Boobs' are also off limits ( . Y . ) Luckily for us this censorship only reaches the public chatrooms. You are free to use whatever language in your private rooms.

To be very frank I'm not surprised with this and it was only a matter of time before IMVU started censoring what we say. If this is a solution to fix 'cyberbullying' then they are poorly mistaken. The cases of bullying I have seen on IMVU have extended beyond the platform and has tormented the individual through other social media applications. Not only that, but there has been an uptick in IMVU Next Feed posts' that feature other user's nudes with very berating comments following behind. Given the new demographics of the IMVU these nudes range from very grown adults to unfortunately minors as well.

I am not surprised but wtf lol. Their undying efforts to make the site kid friendly. If this hits private rooms, that ruins whatever sex anyone will try to have. Then why is there an AP? I think in this next feedback survey that everyone should have in their inbox, everyone should add in the comments that they don't like being censored or something to that effect. Contrary to popular belief they do listen to public opinion, however what they do with those opinions is a hit and miss.

Have you guys noticed the “flaw” in “peer-reviewing” products? How is it that a newcomer can find a naked avatar as soon as they enter the shop and even with a million reports on just one Avatar, the product still stands? Months later? IMVU wants to censor us so badly but doesn’t care if there are minors on the game that have the easiest access to nude avatars coexisting with adults?

@chiefqueef

You are very correct on this.

I wonder if its just in GA rooms, and I also wonder if they only rolled it out to a certain amount of ppl to test it, before the rolled it our fully. It is personally not affecting me at this moment on one of my accounts.

Fuck IMVU's stupid bullshit censorship. I'm putting an end to this now.

Foot down. IMVU Mafias are not putting up with this club penguin crap.

IMVU will not be ruining public RP rooms.

New tool, IMVU Censor Bypass (ICB) incoming: services/converters/imvu-censor-bypass.php

@NEKALION


i think it only applies to GA rooms...so now we gotta put the AP tag on rooms (no need to add AP items in the room tho) not sure if it'll apply if u do it via whisper tho...some BM rooms are marked GA so im not sure how that's gonna go down if we can't do it via whisper either...

Just experienced this issue for myself for the first time. Let me tell you, you can't even say something like "kiss your lips" without it being censored in a GA chatroom right now. AP rooms don't have the censoring it seems. This is such a frustration. Looks like the old school flash whisper chairs are going to be making a huge comeback.
