No, but I think that's ridiculous. I didn't see anything wrong with your furkinis, and even if there WAS something wrong, IMVU could at least have the decency to give you a longer time period before they warn you nine times.

Someone from the forum probably did it.

Sorry to hear somebody did this to you, I checked out some of your stuff when I was on IMVU and all of it seemed good to me.

It hasnt happened to me, Mainly 'cause I can dev to save my life,
But I told a friend about this over MSN and she said that
ReinaLove  has got 28 warnings due to her products.

You might want to fight it Eph. If anything it is something you can contest and win fairly easily if IMVU actually adheres to their own rules.

Well it does show the behind a lot.

Post by: WingedZephyr on March 27, 2008, 07:15:10 PM

It's happened to both me and EQINOX as well, so it's not just you, Eph. It's because "underwear" isn't allowed on IMVU anymore, and the whole issue of furkinis being AP or not is currently being dicussed in razi's furry dev group.

Razi is suggesting that everyone dispute the ratings based on their innocent intent: [email protected]

For more about what's going on, look through the "Furkinis - AP or GA?" topic in the group: http://imvu.com/groups/group/IMVU%2BPaw%2BStars/

Eh... it's only available to those who have joined the group, but membership is available to all developers.

Title: Re: Happen to anyone else? Furkini issue
Post by: WingedZephyr on March 27, 2008, 08:13:48 PM

I know. Devs can join the group, check it out, then leave it if they want.

Title: Re: Happen to anyone else? Furkini issue
Post by: ¿ Jesse Pawman ? on March 27, 2008, 08:19:58 PM

Haha I remember when someone (I think it was KaitCat) who thought I was  a dev and invited me into her deving group.

Well it is just another reason why IMVU is getting more and more pointless to get on.  A while back my black tights was taken for the same reason.  


IMVU = pointless...

i have imvu but i don't use it because i don' see the point when all you dudeses are already nyah... it is a waste of time and hard drive space in my opinion, even though it looks really cool and is fun. i have been warned on other chat sites though, one time my ip adress got banned because of what i was doing. pm me if you want to hewar more, it is a funny story.

Lemme just point out the fact that they're *Meaning IMVU* only taking away furkinis because they're looked upon at underwear. IMVU is trying to get back its PG-13 rating back and so they decided underwear will now either be restricted or AP'ed. This has been brought up several times in the IRC and everyones basically ome to a conclusion that they're just oging to hide their furkinis. Havent you noticed that alot of lingerie (sp?) that you own is being restirced/AP'ed? well it loooks like IMVU is going full throttle to get PG-13 back but its never gonna happen because of everyone wanting they're freedom to dev things......Just read the IMVU forums sometime. theres maybe 1-2 pages of people questiong IMVU and yelling about they're stuff being taken away. Yet again i say they want their PG-13 rating back......

why can't people just say whatever floats your boat and let it ride? the world of the internet would be better that way, and would probably see more users, as long as people have the common sense to do things smart. this may not make sense to you guys but it does to me.

Wred its IMVU we're talking about. They're stupid. They cant just say that. They have to have it THEIR way and no ones elses. i think i speak for everyone when i say IMVU is becoming very boring and stupid.

Title: Re: Happen to anyone else? Furkini issue
Post by: Thaddeus Q. Wolfe on March 28, 2008, 03:45:57 PM

i used it once and thought that, that is why even though i have an account under the same name i don't use it. it was agrivating and time consuming, more so than myspace and other chat sites.

Like Me, Most of the Stuff I buy now, Is Being Refunded because apparently It's 'Not suitable' but then why lets Us Buy it the refund it the Next day, so now I cant wear most of my furkinis because of this whole stupid PG-13 rule.

Title: Re: Happen to anyone else? Furkini issue
Post by: Kabuki on March 28, 2008, 07:30:59 PM

And yet again i stress the fact IMVU wants there PG-13 rating back
no matter what it is
-underwear
-bikinis
-furkinis
-dresses
-jeans
-shoes
-accessories
They're taking it away
its just what IMVU wants
so just........either get over it or complain
i've chosen to complain about everything that's being taken away from me

But IMVU is getting rediculous...but yea your breifs and furkini's look fine Eph..

Not to be in a "I told you so." type of situation, I started seeing the precursor to all of this starting up months ago.
