Web/Marketplace Features

Every day I watch the "complete avatars" category on the marketplace Every day there's 5 new avatars, all game model rips, generated image ads, generated 3D model avatars, or a swath of wrongly categorized low effort AI content. There's a few small number of users uploading a massive amount of marketplace listing, all mass uploaded game rips, or generated avatars, so much so, that it completely overshadows any genuinely created user content. I used to look forward to seeing artistic creations, or originality, inventiveness and ingenuity. Now all I see is 100 low effort avatars, and 1 genuine avatar rarely posted once a month. Why would this suggestion help? 1.) Lowers mass storage of irrelevant content 2.) Creates relevance, and helps with the tagging system as a whole, enriching user interaction with the marketplace as a whole 3.) Allows for more creative content with worth and depth. I know there has been a few posts on this already, but quickly the marketplace has become the last place people are wanting to look when purchasing things from other users; it lowers profit, it lowers worth, it lowers desire to even use the platform. more and more people are choosing to only go to events instead of even looking at the marketplace. its quickly becoming almost useless for its intended purpose, if everything on there is just 1000 bland badly rigged fortnite avatars, game imports or randomly generated AI characters, again badly rigged. Quality over quantity, any day, please.

I'd like to request that when LL release new Linden Homes, or things like the shops, or new names, that LL keep in mind that not everyone can be around for the moment of release. We're from around the world, some will be at work when these releases happen, some will be asleep, and what-have-you. It would be more fair, in the case of the shops that you submit your name in some fashion before a deadline. Then random people that put in their name and qualify (Premium Plus subscribers in this case) gets assigned a random store upon the release date. This only applies to the release dates though, if you like to abandon your place and try get another, that should be possible afterwards through a different mechanism. The same idea above should work for new Linden Homes as well. A bit like a lottery. With new surnames, you should be able to buy a ticket for a certain name or name(s), and the same principle as above should apply. If several people have picked the same name, a random person gets it on the release date. It would be good if you could buy a ticket for several names at once, either to put in a bid for them all, or in priority order if you don't get your first pick. Do we have other releases that needs to be made more fair? I didn't know where else to put this, so feel free to move this.

Listings of available Linden Homes could offer the ability to filter for a given parcel size or theme, or both. This would reduce the users' workload to discover if the parcel they want is available, and would reduce load on the web server since users could find the information they want by loading just one web pages instead of paging through three. For instance, if Joe is only interested in a 2048 Copperfield (a popular notion right now), he won't be paging back and forth among a bazillion other listings to find out if one is available.

Please add a required bool while creating a Marketplace listing that asks the creator to disclose if AI generative tools were used in part/all of the products creation. Add this bool to the 'Do Not Show' section of the Marketplace search filter. Allow listings to be reported if they do not honestly disclose this. ---- For the health of the market we need the use of AI tools to be disclosed by creators. I would prefer personally that no AI generation be supported. I understand that tolorance of it is an effort to avoid censorships slippery slope, and is complicated by the sheer variation of AI tools that currently exist. But regardless of opinions or complications, it's existance cannot be ignored. So lets focus on what can be done, by giving some power of choice to the consumer instead. Users should be provided a way to choose products with or without AI generation while shopping, and naturally creators who choose not to disclose or to lie should face the same reportability and moderation as any other creator that would choose to lie while listing. The moderation half of this should not necessarily focus on trying to prove the use of AI gen tools, it doesn't actually need to. Creators who have done the work to provide support and actually prepare the AI generated content for its use in SL are unlikely to warrent being reported, and should not need to lie about the useage anyway. It is products that blatantly lack support, have egregious LOD & LI values that would be inclined to lie, and would want to be reported by users, this is the same for ANY product currently listed. If you buy it, and you don't get what was described, it should be reportable, the same goes for AI generated products, AI generated should not get a pass because you have to 'prove' something first, when the fact remains that you didn't get what thought you bought. So do not focus on "did you use a tool?" focus on "can you fix & support the product?" If it can't be supported, then disclose it was made via AI generation and move on. This is a similar complication to full perm and gacha resales, but also ripped models, copybot etc, in they will all lack support due to not being made directly by the creator of the listing. There is a big difference between fullperm & gacha resale vs ripping & botting, and that difference is honest disclosure.

Ok, so I favorite a lot of stores. Some I've bought from, some I plan to buy from, some are brands I want to keep track of, others I want to keep around and share with friends. The problem is I am at a point that this list is 200+ stores buy now. I know, crazy. I would just like a way to organize them or categorize them. Even if it is just predefine tags I can put on the stores so I sort them via tags, would be fantastic. As for the stores themselves I've followed: clothing stores, shoe stores, full-perm stores, texture shops, hair stores, fetish stores, furniture stores, buildings/home stores, jewelry shops, magic/script stores, etc etc. You can see that browsing for a particular thing I wanna check up on say full-perm items leads me to browsing dozens of other shops, making it hard to find that one I just remembered from 3 months ago that has this very thingy I want and can't track down again! You know what I am talking about right? lol

I cannot use the feed function connection to my account. It has been this way since creation and is getting rather frustrating waiting for a fix, have created 2 support tickets about it! its coming up to nearly a year!

Let's invent a label - something simple, like "GenAI was used in whole or part in this object's manufacture" and then /require/ creators/vendors to label all of their relevant sales items with it. Let this label also be a tag or flag as part of an object's or sales vendor's properties, so that Residents don't have to struggle to know if an object is GenAI-"containing." Let this also be a tag or flag on the MP and in any other searchable interface where it makes sense to exist, so that Residents may include or exclude GenAI items in their search results. GenAI is not going anywhere. The ethics of its use are a separate matter. But Residents have a right to be informed of the tool's use in the creation of their purchased items, just as we have a right to know whether a food IRL has been genetically modified. Let Residents be advised of the use of GenAI to create purchasable goods, and thereby purchase according to their own preference. Please disregard, and accept my apology, if this issue has already been discussed/addressed. Thank you.

I'd like to see a creation date of items shown in the marketplace and the ability to search by year created.

Hi I would like to suggest a feature for the Second Life Marketplace: a filter for offensive or abusive language in reviews and comments. Currently, creators can receive reviews that include insults, harassment, or personal attacks, which can harm their reputation and create unnecessary conflict. A system to automatically flag, block, or hold for moderation reviews containing certain offensive words or expressions would help maintain a safer and more professional environment for both creators and customers. Features could include: Automatic detection of offensive or harassing words in reviews. Option for creators to review flagged comments before they appear publicly. A way to maintain legitimate feedback while preventing abuse or trolling. This would protect creators from unfair attacks, improve the quality of Marketplace interactions, and ensure that reviews reflect genuine customer experiences rather than being used as a tool for harassment. Thank you for considering this improvement to the Marketplace system.

It would be amazing to be able to block a store's content from showing in Marketplace. Instead of adding a store as a favorite you could click to add store to a blocked list and then their content would no longer show in your search results.
