Lets all vote to allow big business to walk all over the small businesses. Actually lets not, rather lets create a world without the big players being able to walk all over everyone else. Oops we already have created such a world, its called Second Life, lets keep it that way.
It does feel like the guy that just wants to create things and have a fair way to get it out in front of people is getting screwed here---
Hmm, verification could possibly be anything that can be realistically counted as business verification. For example, a verified PayPal account, a properly verified contact address etc., rather than specifically verification as an official business. Basically anything that makes you accountable, opposed to identity verification which merely checks some aspects of your identity.
As for ratings issues, I'd hope that limiting ratings to premiums only would tide that some, as losing your account for trying to cheat the system would represent a monetary loss, opposed to before when any free account and their grand-mother could vote. @Lion, proposing to discriminate against those who sell goods for less than 1000L$ through an under-used issue tracker is gaming the system. Oh and Haravikk's campaign against non-premium accounts has popped up again under a new guise. To repeat my point from another issue. Some basic accounts pay more PER MONTH than a premium account costs ANNUALLY. They are known as land owners/tier renters on private regions.
well now a business account, i dont agree. If you want to buy a product from some1, and u look at their profile. If they seem to be hiding something or their profile is not filled out, you should not buy from them. It should not be hard to know who u are dealing with. Putting more restrictions on people to do business is not the way to go. All you should to do is look at the US or any other capitalistic society and u will see how restrictions only help the rich and create a less open market. Now ratings, i like. But only from premiun members. I'm not 1 that likes any restrictions to basic accounts but considering all the sabotage that goes on, its only smart to only allow premium account to vote in ratings of products. Please Haravikk, rewrite an issue with just the rating, and im sure you will get many votes for it.
This is one of the worst, most discriminatory and tendentious proposals I've seen on here.
If you want to play e-bay, play e-bay. SL isn't a mere sales interface. It's a world, simulating real life in many ways. No tier-paying business should be forced to endure the numerous hate comments that come in the vicious SL setting, especially from anonymous NPIOF accounts that may merely be the alts of their competitors, or outlier disgruntled customers such as any SL business suffers. The idea that you can't comment on other businesses is absurd, as only business-to-business peer pressure and setting of good-practice norms helps the Wild-West atmosphere of SL. Many businesses have to rely on others to achieve their own goals, i.e. rentals have to buy prefabs and furniture and trees. They must be able in any system to comment on their suppliers. SL does not need a rating system. It needs more consumer-oriented blogs on third-party sites, more inworld media that takes care of this issue through the free press, not through biased "whitelisters" putting themselves in the good first, and competitors in the bad. Anything called "business account" in SL should be tied not to any ratings system, but simply an enhanced suite of services – bulk discounts of sims, a Concierge-like help line, bulk discount on accounts, i.e. 100 for a discount, corporate standard account invoicing, etc. It should be a box that anyone can click and buy, and not decided on a discretionary basis. |

I'm not being critical here-----I'm just exploring it.
