Web/Marketplace Features

There is no Dinkie category, so when we post our items on MP we have to use regular category for human sized clothes. It would be easier and less confusion on 'where' to post our items if we actually had a 'Dinkie' category to post them under. Thanks!

With the wildly varying quality of mesh clothing, most customers and many creators have realized the usefulness of providing a demo of clothing to test fit, skin weights, in-world appearance, complexity, and many other qualities of a given item. It has, therefore, become frustrating to see something I'm interested in, click on it, only to find I'd be gambling if I bought it because there's no demo available. I never buy clothing without a demo, and manually checking to see if a demo is available can slow down the shopping experience. Add to that the bad actors that state "Demo available at in-world store." To date I have never found an in-world demo, and am instead barraged with a maze of other items they're trying to sell to me (a good portion of which won't even fit my body and also have no demo available) while I look for said demo. In many cases, I come to doubt that the demo even exists. This is VERY poor business practice, as I already have a mental list of stores to avoid while shopping because I know there will be no demo on the MP. Vendors: NEVER make your customer jump through hoops to buy your product. This is a poor idea and just a stupid thing to do. If I am shopping on the Marketplace, I'm not interested in switching to shopping in-world. Actual clothing stores have fitting rooms that are easily seen and accessible, not hid somewhere in the back behind the restrooms. You've just lost your sale. If a filter can be added under the "Do Not Show:" category that specifies "Items with no Demo" it would speed up my shopping experience as well as allow me to more readily award those that perform best practices and provide demos for their products. I believe this will also have the added benefit of inspiring those that presently do not provide a demo, or claim to have one in-world, to actually provide a demo on the Marketplace to allow for shoppers to quickly and easily try on clothes.

At the moment, when you visit the Name Change page and are presented with the list of available Last Names, they are not in any kind of order, which is an issue for us folks with ADHD, autism or other forms of neurodivergence. Having the list in alphabetical order would both prevent sensory overload and potentially make for a quicker process. Related to the above — when new Last Names are announced, those should be listed in alphabetical order too. And if any Last Names are being retired it would be nice to know which ones those are — I note that this did happen initially after Last Names were reintroduced, but seems to have been dropped.

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.

Marketplace images are limited to 700x525 pixels. This really needs to be increased so we can actually see what we're buying.

Currently, avatars receiving weekly stipends as part of Second Life Premium or Premium Plus memberships do not receive any notifications or system messages when these L$ deposits occur. This presents a challenge for users and scripted bots that rely on transaction notifications or listeners to track and respond to incoming funds. Use Case: At SmartBots, we provide bot services that help users manage avatars, track transactions, and perform automated tasks based on L$ deposits. Many of our users have asked for the ability to detect when a stipend is received by an avatar. However, since there is no event trigger, message, or transaction notification for these stipend payments, bots and automated systems are effectively blind to them. This impacts: Accurate financial logging and visibility Triggering user-defined automated behaviors (e.g., announcements, logging, reactions) Customer support debugging when tracking deposit history Building reliable in-world systems that depend on timely detection of all L$ inputs Proposed Solution: We are requesting the implementation of any of the following (in order of preference): A notification event (similar to standard L$ transactions) that is sent to the avatar upon stipend deposit. An LSL-accessible event or updated balance notification that bots and scripts can listen for. Webhook support or API endpoint that allows us to fetch or receive stipend transaction data with timestamp. A transaction log entry (visible in the viewer or via API) that clearly marks the stipend arrival with a distinct type. Impact: Adding notification support for stipends would improve transparency, enable a smoother user experience, and allow for broader functionality in user and bot systems. It would also reduce support load by helping both Linden Lab and third-party providers verify fund arrival more easily. Thank you for considering this request — we’re happy to provide additional use cases or technical details if needed.

Would be nice to have a setting in the webpages that lets you use a dark background isntead of the blinding white thats hard on some of our eyes without having to use an outside plugin for our browser. Much like they have for the forums.

A refreshed Marketplace with a responsive web design would be great. More content could be shown and could also increase ad revenue for LL

So going into this, I want to disclaim that I myself am not against AI. I personally have used it before, and will do so in the future. A specific chat AI helps me regularly with solving problems. However, I am against people intentionally misleading people about content, and polluting search results with content made in mere seconds, and find it no different than spam. If I made something that randomly generated randomly colored squares on a white canvas, and listed it a dozen or so times, it'd be seen as spam. Additionally, this issue was brought up in the SL Discord marketplace chat. I've moved it here so that it can get more recognition and visibility to LL. Personally, I believe that a policy worded like so would benefit everyone in the long run (canny has messed up some formatting here, so it looks like it has no line breaks, these have been substituted with "---" for readability) Content that is the sole generation of Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, or otherwise Generative Content, except in the cases where the generator was written for the sole purpose of generating a specific element, may not be listed on the Marketplace as-is or as the focal point of the content that is listed. --- AI images must never be used to generate listing images, and must be presented as the content appears in SL. Overlays, such as permission information, price, branding labels, or sales labels, are permitted as much so as they do not mis-represent the content that is being advertised. --- Examples of forbidden listings: * In singular or collection, AI generated content as a texture, image, mesh, sound or other type of asset, as the sole content being listed. * A AI generated image in a picture frame. * A museum prefab filled with AI generated images as a "ready to go" model. * A object that plays randomly generated AI voice clips. * Attempting to pass off or mislead people that AI generated content as original, hand crafted content. * A listing which shows a AI enhanced product preview. --- Examples of allowed listings: * A house that has a AI generated poster in it, where the poster is not the selling point of the house. * A museum model that has some AI generated images, or is focused on the topic of AI generated content. * A NPC, that among other features, plays AI generated voice clips. * A model that has AI generated textures, where the model is not AI generated. --- Listings that make use of 50% or more in it's creation must be clearly labeled as using AI generation or assistance in the listing description. Interpretation of what counts as "50% or more is" left solely to Linden Lab. Listings that use AI but under the 50% threshold are recommended, but not required, to disclose that AI is used in some capacity. In summary, it forbids listing of content on the marketplace, free or for sale, that is entirely AI generated, requires disclosure of AI generated content when AI does a majority of the work, and guards against some loopholes. This probably (as in, very likely. I feel this is implied, but just in case) isn't needed, but: Because this will probably get passed by the lawyers, I hereby grant all permission to Linden Lab to use or transform the above work in any way, without attribution or compensation. Linden Lab has the opportunity to deal with this now before it gets too out of control. Only a handful of residents would be in violation of this policy. This also only applies to marketplace stuff, not in-world content.

When I try to access any community link in Firefox (for example: https://community.secondlife.com/forums/topic/99127-what-port-to-set-in-router-for-best-quality-of-service-qos/ ) the results are unreadable because no CSS files, images, or scripts are loaded. Using Developer Tools on Firefox, all assets being loaded from media.invisioncic.com are failing to load with Firefox reporting a premature disconnection (NS_BINDING_ABORTED) rather than a status code. If I attempt to open one of the URLs in a new tab, eg https://media.invisioncic.com/Mseclife/css_built_10/341e4a57816af3ba440d891ca87450ff_framework.css?v=d815db93211751461514 then instead I get a message saying I am blocked: Sorry, you have been blocked You are unable to access media.invisioncic.com In Chrome the link works, but for privacy reasons I don't use Chrome. I know technically this is a problem with your provider not with your own infrastructure, but if you could slap them with a wet trout or something, I'd appreciate it. No idea if they've misidentified normal behavior from Firefox, or are just blocking Firefox, or whitelisting only Chrome, but whatever the reason this is frustrating.
