Tackling Censorship and Building a Safer Community

Susuke, you presume the VU development team cares. It's probably safe to say that they really don't, at this point. We're just great test beds for their stupid AI shit.

Thirdly, I feel like you cant just slash in half something that we already paid for a set price tag. Subscription services are different because you can cancel them if you don't like the new plan rules, updates or new price hike. But since we already paid for it, that feels like we're getting scammed a bit don't you think ? 

Iv thought about it for a while, and I think the fact alone that we already paid for an adult pass to access AP content and have the adult experience, but now suddenly it's like, SIKE, actually you only get half the experience now, When AP is STILL advertised as the full adult experience on classic, so why firstly you allowing people to buy AP on classic client still under the guise they get the full adult experience but not actually get it, it literally says on classic client right now as I speak and i'm quoting "Looking for adult chats,romantic interactions and mature entertainment? Get the Access Pass and meet other 18+ people in exclusive AP chat rooms and groups." that don't sound like half the experience, and 2, you should refund anyone that has an AP badge on their account then, because that isnt right. 

I'm AP, and Age Verified verified.. I noticed the upcoming AP + is  going to be Subscription based? WTF.. so your gonna charge us even more to be free of Censor? or what Devs?   we will still be censored and expected to pay a monthly fee? or weekly?

The Electronic Communications Privacy Act (ECPA) is a federal law that makes it a crime to access someone else's private communications without permission. It covers cell phones, computer use, email, social media accounts, and other types of electronic communications.

I'm about done with you treating us like children. First you bait and switch us with "adult pass" by giving us rated R content after it expressly says in the ad for AP things about adult content. Now you are limiting our ways of communication between consenting adults?!?! I do not want to word it a different way! I chose my words for the situation and to the meaning I want to project. Roll this horrible idea back or I, a member for 13 years am done! I'll find one of your competitors to give future money to.

This is getting worse I can be in my private rooms AP rooms married room even public AP rooms with Age verified adults and we get censored we never had this issue before and now minor words get sensor the word cum sensor but put cumming cum's or whatever doesn't get censored there are other words I have seen that are worse that don't get censored and some stupid ones do can we please go back to how IMVU was and not be watched we are ADULTS We can block or kick people out or report them

Ya.... this implementation will be what kills this platform more, I don't think this is the right way. Keep out of private conversations, I don't want some system reading my personal chats to be honest. This type of censorship is super unnecessary, this isnt club penguin.  

Okay, cool, so there's no need for censorship of chat rooms, if everybody follows the Community Guidelines. If said person is of age and verified, I see no reason why there should be censorship. You could apply it to people that don't match the criteria, but it just becomes unnecessarily complicated. If there's hate speech or any sort of other violations coming from someone, based on the Community Guidelines, people can always report and block the said person and end it at that. You as moderators should take care of the problematic people, based on user input - not some half-assed AI. 
IMVU used to be the place where I could hang out with people and not care about a single thing when I wanted to express myself, and I've been a user for 10+ years.. In the recent years I've only grown distant from IMVU, because of actions like this. 
Please, if you want to keep your community, listen to it. You don't have to do everything we say, just keep us in mind..

We hear you and appreciate the responsible adults in our community who manage their rooms and set standards for appropriate behavior. To clarify, “appropriate and meaningful” conversations are those that align with our Community Guidelines, fostering respect and positivity. While room owners have the autonomy to set rules and appoint admins, we maintain safeguards to ensure everyone’s safety and to prevent harm from bad actors.

We’re also aware of concerns like spam bots, and we’re continuously improving our tools to address these challenges. Your suggestion for stronger community partnerships is noted, and we’ll explore ways to enhance collaboration and oversight.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts; we value all feedback, both positive and negative.

I'm fed up now and I think I'm leaving this game permanently for nothing they ban my account and accuse me of posting an indecent photo when I don't have the AP but what's the use of it to me? It's really nonsense!! 

Can we please remove censoring from Private rooms? Especially when it comes to Verified ADULTS? We each have the power to censor in our own way..and that is through the block button..If we don't like someone being a bully we just can block and report that person. 

If there's a non verified avi present then sure...I'd understand however..Adults...No..Just is not neccessary.

Can we have a definition of "appropriate" and who is deciding what is "meaningful"? 

given their inability to stop simple spam bots in the rooms... maybe they could allow for community oversight or something? Maybe they need a community liason department, not just one overworked person?

…while allowing adults on the platform to have appropriate and meaningful conversations.

Can we have a definition of "appropriate" and who is deciding what is "meaningful"?

Responsible adults, as you call them, place rules for their rooms in room info, they also appoint their own room administrators who can take action and remove anyone who is not behaving according to the rules set for that room by the room owner. I’ve said that before and saying it again, if you want censorship do it in IMVU owned rooms. Yet I see almost every day f, n, b and tons of other insults in IMVU Hangouts rooms and no censorship at all.
