We would like to address the valid concerns that have been raised by our community regarding the implementation of IMVU's Minimum Coverage Guidelines (MCG). We highly appreciate your feedback and want to assure you that your voices are being heard. Your input is crucial in helping us create a more inclusive and transparent environment for both creators and users.
Clarification on MCG Implementation
We understand that some users are experiencing confusion about how to implement the MCG. Specifically, there are questions about the acceptability of using an MCG opacity map (mcg) wider than the red area. We are actively working on providing more detailed guidelines and examples to clarify this aspect.
Identifying Manipulated MCG/Body
To address concerns about identifying manipulated MCG or body shapes, we are exploring ways to improve our review and flagging processes. Our goal is to make the identification of non-compliant content more accurate and transparent.
Sample Compliant Bodies
We hear your request for sample bodies that conform to the MCG rules, especially on newer mesh bodies. We are actively working on providing these examples to ensure that creators have clear guidance.
Public Understanding and Peer Review
We acknowledge the need for clearer communication during peer reviews. We are committed to providing examples of compliant bodies and exploring standardized mcg skin coverage based on body sizes to enhance clarity and understanding during the review process.
Inconsistent Enforcement
We are aware of concerns about inconsistent enforcement of MCG guidelines. We are actively working to improve our processes to ensure fair and consistent enforcement across all products.
Personal Conflict in Flagging
We take your concerns about flagging seriously and will investigate any instances of unfair flagging. We are working on creating a more transparent and impartial flagging system.
Derived Products and Ratings
We are aware of the concerns surrounding derived products and how they are rated. We will explore ways to ensure that ratings are applied fairly and consistently.
Improved Communication and Collaboration
Finally, we want to emphasize our commitment to better communication and collaboration with the creator community. We value your input and will actively seek your feedback to improve our guidelines and enforcement processes.
We want to thank you for your patience and understanding as we work through these concerns. Our aim is to create an environment where everyone can enjoy IMVU while adhering to guidelines that ensure a positive and safe experience for all.
Please continue to share your thoughts and suggestions with us, as they are invaluable in shaping the future of IMVU. Together, we can make IMVU a better place for all members of our community.
Update:We have updated the MCG section of the Creator Education Center with some additional details and clarification. An anchor has been made for easy access to the updated section. Please note that we'll continue to update this page as the ongoing internal/external conversation regarding MCG continues.

the issue is that, if you have AP you are now stuck with the item. If the customer had wanted an AP item, they wouldn't have purchased a GA item. When IMVU awards you via daily spin, a fully exposed under-boob top that's rated GA, it's hard to know exactly what will and what won't be flagged.

I would be happy with a grace period so we don't get axed due to these originally improperly rated items that confused so many creators.
Eventhough the few false GA body items i derived were fully covering the skin, i still had to refund all the customers who bought them because the shape of them were supposed to be AP, not GA. I'm very lucky I don't get much sales on clothes! But I feel very bad for the creators who do. I'm surprised a refund was given instead of just switching to AP, and letting the customers wait until they get their own Access Pass if they don't have it yet. I guess that's good for the customers, but wow. I'd had been really sad if I got banned over this, or had to negotiate to get my account back, which is why I'm hoping that there's some leniency on this for the older creators.

Stop changing FURRY Kini (Skin Top and Bottoms) to AP. You can not claim a current "skin human" tone to be automatically AP because it has human colors, then the other colors or designs on the body have literally nothing to do with humans because they ANIMALS. My female and male kinis are labeled into the Animal category for a reason. You need a Furry division for furry products only because it is unfair to us creators in the furry community to be flagged over colors.

The creators can’t upload a product as GA and then go back to make it AP. Someone reported the product and IMVU themselves re-rated it and made the product AP (Which Reverse the sale from the creator if the purchaser Does not have AP)

@Saturi This is all great news on the MCG front.. At least we now know that the clarity we so desperately need is coming down the pipe. I will keep my eyes open for upcoming solutions and I will also drag them down my pipeline to other creators that don't participate in forum. Knowledge is Power.. TY
