We’ve rolled out an update to Peer Review that builds on the existing prioritization system and further rewards active participation.
Creators who consistently vote in Peer Review relative to their recent submissions will now see even stronger prioritization when they submit new products. These submissions move closer to the front of the Peer Review queue, making them more likely to be surfaced quickly for voting, and in some cases move through Peer Review in minutes.
Creators who are less active in Peer Review may notice slightly longer review times, though overall queue behavior should remain stable. As more Creators participate, the system naturally balances itself and helps reduce overall backlog.
We’ll be monitoring how this performs and making adjustments as needed, but this update is designed to more directly tie Peer Review participation to faster review times.

In short, they're still taking advantage of people. All this so we'll pay for the Diamond or Emerald VIP membership, which is what they want.

I find it unusual that product reviews using .ogg files are taking so long now. For example, I've been waiting for four weeks for two products with .ogg files. It wasn't this bad before, although sometimes it took up to two weeks. And some of my friends who create song boxes have also been waiting for their products for more than three weeks.

…there are simply not enough people doing Peer Review to make it go faster and I’ve been saying this for a long time, predicting that it will continue to get worse.
I believe there was an attempt to lower the number of votes required to pass the product. It worked for a short while, then degraded back to weeks. Now there is another attempt to make Peer Review better for Next/Desktop users. It might bring more people into reviewing products, but I don’t believe that will make much of a difference due to a majority of the users are on mobile. And with this the only solution to make a noticeable difference in review times - make it a mandatory. As much as I hate to say it, but unless each submitted product will require one product to be reviewed, nothing will ever change. One published - One must be reviewed. Of course one for one doesn’t sound like much, but with 10k products submitted daily it’s a 10k quarantined votes.
Sure, some of you will hate me for saying this, trust me, I hate myself for making this suggestion, but is there any other way? If you thinking that asking IMVU to pay more per reviewed product is a good idea, think again. How many more sales with Predits this will bring back to you, or basically useless now Dev Tokens… I’m out of ideas. If any of you have something in mind - speak up! No matter what anyone says - IMVU is listening and your idea might be the one that will make it all better.

As for the products with .ogg files in them - if you doing Peer Review regularly, you should notice that those products no longer being reviewed there and it’s been like this for almost, if not more than 2 years. I guess they go thru a different review, one that checks for copyrights on those songs and that is the sole reason they take that long to pass.

The problem is not only the time it takes to approve a product but the fact that this chat is losing more people every day. Out of 99 connected countries 30000 people and how many connected only by mobile and not by PC. I wonder if they ever wondered why. Also, how many people can log in with their cell phones and go to the website and do peer reviews? Imvu understood well that the money, the real money, I'm not talking about credits, it is we creators or derivators who bring it to this chat by paying a VIP every month, paying taxes on the products and accepting every restriction of them. We are penalized on everything now also on product approval waiting times, and it is not by voting on another product that speeds up the publication of ours, I have done it and I have had no results my products have been waiting for them for more than 20 days. I think it's just another way to get the last remaining users in here to leave.

It’s hard to beat the level of inconsistency in this text, dear Admin. Even with reviews, the articles don’t get through the review process any faster… no matter what you do… some things just don’t get approved, and it’s not fun anymore. If you make something for someone’s birthday, they don’t get it until months later. It really isn’t fun anymore. I’ve been here for 14 years and have to say it’s no wonder that the daily user count of over 100,000 hasn’t been reached in a long time. And it’s only going to get even lower. Very sad.

What specific timeframe is meant by "slightly longer review times"? And why are products with sounds, music, and voice boxes stuck for weeks? Many have been waiting for their music products for more than three weeks – all other products go through the review process much faster, why?

My products finally cleared peer review. It took TWENTY DAYS to get through peer review. Almost a month is too excessive, don't you think?!

I entered an item and it passed almost before I went to the next item but have had rooms take weeks to pass. My participation in PR seems to have no effect whatsoever. Why are my rooms taking so much longer? Do people avoid reviewing them?

What they're doing with the review system is absurd. I've been waiting almost 10 days for reviews of three products. I uploaded one yesterday and it was reviewed instantly. I don't know what they're doing to the creators, but they're ruining IMVU, and obviously, there are fewer and fewer users. They're a complete disaster. IMVU is kept alive by the creators, and they don't take care of them. Instead of so much garbage and repetitive advertising messages, they change themes daily, and with so many topics, it's hard to know what to do anymore for people who just keep redirecting. When will the creators get some support? It's a complete disaster. It's no wonder most of the real creators are leaving for other platforms. They don't fix anything; they only make things worse, and now everything is focused on absurd themes that change almost daily.
