[sldev] Your Feedback Wanted on Search Flagging !

[Matthew Dowd]

More importantly clearer guidelines on what is prohibited for similar reasons!
 
There was never any clarification of the contradiction between Daniel Linden's blog post stating that "other broadly offensive content are never allowed or tolerated within Second Life" and the Community Standards (written, I gather, by Daniel Linden) which states "anything else broadly offensive must be contained within private land in areas rated Mature (M)", and as Darien says, some groups took this as an invitation to AR anything they didn't like.
 
Also how many votes contribute enough to take action. It would be quite easy for a group to organise themselves to all vote to prohibit things they didn't like or agree with.
 
I think social tagging may have a role in determining search relevancy - but I'm not convinced this tagging would work particularly well.
