Hi @iErre, For IMVU creators feeling the pinch of longer peer review times, the key to swifter approvals lies in meticulous preparation and a thorough understanding of the platform's guidelines. While there's no magic button to instantly fast-track a submission, creators can significantly reduce the likelihood of delays by ensuring their products are flawless before they even enter the queue.
Many creators have anecdotally reported a slowdown in the peer review process, with submission-to-approval times extending from a few hours to several days. While IMVU has not issued a formal statement detailing a permanent change to the review timeline, the increased volume of submissions and the reliance on a community-based review system are likely contributing factors.
Here are actionable steps you can take to potentially speed up the peer review process for your IMVU products:
1. Master the Minimum Coverage Guidelines (MCG): This is the most common stumbling block for new and even veteran creators. Before submitting, meticulously check that your product adheres to IMVU's MCG for both male and female avatars. This includes ensuring all avatar skin surfaces are appropriately covered. Any violation will result in an almost immediate failure and require you to resubmit, sending you to the back of the line.
2. Perfect Your Product Page: A complete and accurate product page is crucial. This includes:
High-Quality Icon: Your product icon should be clear, well-lit, and accurately represent the item.
Detailed and Truthful Description: Clearly describe your product. Avoid misleading information or leaving the description blank.
Appropriate Ratings: Ensure your product is correctly rated for General Audience (GA) or Access Pass (AP). Misrating a product will cause it to fail review.
3. Test, Test, and Test Again: Before submitting, rigorously test your product in the IMVU client. Check for any clipping, floating parts, or other visual glitches. Invite friends to test it on their avatars to ensure it works correctly on a variety of shapes. A product that is technically sound is less likely to be flagged by reviewers.
4. Understand Product-Specific Policies: Different types of products have different rules. For example, furniture, rooms, and clothing all have unique guidelines. Familiarize yourself with the specific policies relevant to your creation to avoid common pitfalls.
5. Participate in Peer Review: The peer review system is a community effort. By actively and accurately reviewing other creators' products, you contribute to clearing the queue. While this won't directly speed up your own submissions, a healthier and more active review community benefits everyone.
6. Avoid Peak Submission Times: While not a guaranteed solution, some creators suggest that submitting products during off-peak hours may result in slightly faster review times. This is speculative, but could be worth trying.
In conclusion, while you can't control the volume of submissions or the number of active reviewers, you have complete control over the quality and compliance of your own products. By taking the time to ensure your creations are polished and adhere to all of IMVU's guidelines, you significantly increase your chances of a swift and successful peer review.
