>    - Showcase - *nominate something for possible inclusion in the

> *[All listings will still have to follow the Community Standards<http://secondlife.com/corporate/cs.php>and Terms

>
> *Types of listings that can be flagged*
>
>    - Parcel listings
>    - Classifieds
>    - Events
>    - You will not be able to flag avatar or group profiles
>
> *What happens when something is flagged*

>    Standards <http://secondlife.com/corporate/cs.php>
>
> *Anything else?*
>
>    - Residents will be allowed to flag a particular search listing only
>    once. You cannot change your vote, so flag with care
>    - There will be a limit to how many times a day a Resident can flag
>    search listings
>    - Anonymous basic residents or residents whose accounts are less
>    than x days old will not be able to flag content
>    - Residents will still be able to report abusive content from
>    inworld via the Abuse Reporting system under the Help menu
>     - Of course, no system can be perfect, so if you think something
>    was flagged in error, you can always file a support ticket for review
