Peer Review Correctly

Whether you hate Peer Review or... wait, does anyone actually like it? Well, no matter what you think about the system, if you plan to participate, you should be doing it correctly. But it seems like there are members of the community who still don't understand what Peer Review is, what is is for or how to do it properly.

What is Peer Review?
Peer Review is a way of the IMVU community screening products before they become available for sale in the catalog. The main key is to determine if the product is rated correctly based on the Virtual Goods Policy - whether for General Audience or Access Pass users. Secondly, it is to determine the functionality of the product - meaning, does the product work?

Who Can Participate in Peer Review?

Members of the community that are aged 18 and older are asked to participate. You do not have to be a Content Creator in order to participate.

Common Misconceptions about Peer Review...

► Peer Review is NOT a tool by which to screen out copy written or trademarked products. It is only for measuring products against the Virtual Goods Policy.

► Peer Review is NOT there for you to decide what should or shouldn't belong in the catalog based on quality or your preference. In other words, you thinking a product "sucks" or "is ugly" is not the reason for you to fail it. Your job is merely to determine if the product is following the rules.

► It is NOT your job to make opinions of the Content Creator's marketing or the lack thereof. Product pages do NOT require images nor do they require a proper icon. Remember that some products are meant to be hidden items either for its creator's personal use, or for testing. Again, so long as the product follows the rules, it is to be passed. Product pages must only have a description that either describes what you are looking at whether it say it is a hidden item or "red shoes". It can really be that simple.

Please do Peer Review correctly. There seem to be a lot of people who still aren't. We're stuck with this system so doing it wrong to "prove a point" or whatever reason some have come up with, really isn't helping.
