Peer Review Enforcement Update

The only way products can get passed in peer review more quickly than they currently do is if more folk peer review products. 

The reason why not many folk are motivated to use their time and effort to peer review products is because they only earn 5 promo credits per product they review. 

5 Promo credits is worth less than 5 real credits. 1,000 real credits is worth 1 US Dollar if one buys credits when there isn't any discount; which no one does. Realistically 1,000 real credits is worth 40% less than $1 to 45% less than $1 or $0.55 to $0.60 which makes 5 real credits worth 0.5% or 1/200 of $0.55 to $0.60 which amounts to $0.00275 to $0.003. The value of 5 real credits is a small fraction of 1 cent and 5 promo credits is worth even less. 

If IMVU would pay a fair wage then more folk might get motivated to peer review products. That wage would need to be competitive with the real life minimum wage minus taxes of the country where someone lives.

More Developers need to raise awareness that folk are not being paid enough to review products.

3rd Update: A few days ago my last product which was in Peer Review longer than a month was finally approved and ever since all my products have been approved relatively fast the same day. BUT the moment I submitted another Male pants again it has gotten stuck in Peer Review purgatory. Apparently IMVU has a glitch in its system (at least in my particular case) where Male bottoms remain invisible to Peer Reviewers? My product is "David Martinez pants CPE" Product74611143.cfl .

2nd Update: Yesterday I received this message from IMVU Official: "Your product Himmel pants & boots has passed peer review. It is now available for sale in the catalog." There is one small problem: that's the wrong product since that particular one passed Peer Review 3 YEARS AGO!!! LOL The product that is still in Peer Review limbo (30 days and counting) is the "Kraft the Monk pants"Product74207547.cfl. Can this be addressed properly...uh, before the end of this century? 

Thank you.

Update: After submitting a ticket and voicing my complains here 17 days ago, 3 out of the 5 male products in Peer Review limbo were finally approved 2 days ago. However the last two are still pending and in 2 days will reach 30 days without been approved. Other recent products have been approved faster, though. Faster than usual. But those remaining two are apparently in the IMVU Twilight Zone.

I agree with you but on the otherhand, many creators hate it when customers buy from their shop with promo cr because they don't get to earn profits from their work with those, they just turn into "dev tokens". Maybe if imvu would consider making "dev tokens" more valuable to creators, we could encourage more promo cr usage.

oh, sound products are very hard for peer review, I believe it's because only classic imvu users can hear them. Since many new members are not using classic, I could imagine that they may be skipping sound products. In the past, I've tried introducing classic to new users, but they didn't like it, which got me curious as to what was so enticing about the new apps and try harder to learn them, so now I'm more use to them.

I've noticed that even when I do 20 or even more peer reviews, if I do them after I've submitted my products, it takes very long for my items to pass through peer review (up to one week). But if I do many peer reviews before I submit my new products, then my new products I submit later come out of peer review much faster (within the same day I submit my new items up to 3 days).

I haven't tested yet by doing many peer reviews in one day then submitting my new products right after though. I've only noticed this by doing peer reviews regularly throughout 2 weeks then submitting my new products at the end of that time. 

I submit to Peer Review willingly, even when I wasn’t VIP. I love to help the Community, but I feel failed because I keep doing PR, but me as a new Creator (this my first month), my items are taking so long to get approved. Not a single item has been approved yet. Please look into this & approve my items. Thanks!

I too have my issues with Peer Review. Currently I have 5 male products that are still in IMVU purgatory (for weeks!). No matter if I spend hours daily doing peer review those products don't move from limbo. It is frustrating as each of these products are part of cosplay sets that renders the ones approved as incomplete and useless for the main purpose. I will stop doing Peer Reviews until ALL those products get approved. I am also considering stopping developing products until this problem is fixed.

Speaking of Peer Review I have had my own issues with getting things through peer, 1 item has been in peer since february and another I submitted earlier this month and yet still have not gone through. They are Voice Boxes that I have done all the work on myself. I have had others in and through no problem Why is there an inconsistency with the system Like I am having. its rather annoying to have things in for over a month yet other vbs Ive done gone through no issue. 

yes while on the topic of peer review how can we be expected to reviw products we cannot see at close range .also we need a window and water to put the item behind to  test that it is still GA. that is your fault imvu for not providing the right equpment.

J aimerais que l on nous franchement si oui ou non vous faîtes traîner les validations des mixes ( musiques) dans le but de nous faire arrêter ce type de création ! 

En effet, tous les produits comme tenues, meubles et salons sont validés en 24h MAIS les mixes le délai est lamentable ! J ai 37 produits en attente depuis 21 jours !

Alors dites nous franchement la raison afin de nous éviter de perdre notre temps et nos crédits inutilement !

You know  If I had a better way of reporting the urgent matter of my privacy information being leaked and harassment i would  But you're  comment was uncalled for . . Apparently you really have nothing else to say . So I just Petra get off that high horse

I'm having issues with people going into IMVU Archives getting my personal information and sending out over the game these individuals are harassing and causing a disturbance screenshot chat room conversations starting trouble like little kids I'm afraid my personal information has been compromised it's a in invasion of privacy trying detailed information what can be done
