Block Seller on Marketplace
Note: I know this was suggested before and it's tracked. I know this will be merged. That's okay, I wanted to give more suggestions on implementation and answer "why" beyond that it would just be a nice feature. Problem: You don't want to see stuff made by a certain creator on the marketplace. There may be a variety of reasons for this. Here are a few examples. You have the shop owner in game block due to harassment, drama, or other personal reasons and don't want to accidentally give this person money. The vendor is selling rips. The seller has a business model you don't want to support. Maybe you don't want to buy clothes that are no mod, maybe they have shady business practices that involve over-editing their ads, or using AI on their ads resulting in false advertising. Maybe the seller's content makes you deeply uncomfortable such as selling adult products but the models scream childlike and you don't want to see that. The seller is flooding the marketplace with thousands of generative AI textures to make a quick buck, making it impossible to find high quality textures. This is a growing problem that needs urgent addressing. Solution: Allow us to block the shop and/or the owner of the shop. Owner might be better in case the marketplace someday expands to let a single user have more than one storefront. Or both. Blocking a particular product may also have its place. Implementation: Beneath the flag listing link there would be additional links: Block this shop Behavior: Browsing and searching omits all products from the store. Adds shop to a block list. They can be removed from block list if needed. Block this seller (<--- Alternative, or TBI if multiple storefronts ever becomes a thing.) Behavior: Browsing and searching omit all products from any and all products from the store. A popup that asks, "Do you want to block this person from your shop as well?" may be a good move in some circumstances. They can be removed from block list if needed. Hide Product Behavior: Omits an individual product from search and browsing. Unhide Product Behavior: Removes product from hide. How would you find a listing if it was hidden? Give people a checkbook to show hidden products in search and browse. By giving us the tools to better curate our experience with the marketplace you will empower users to find what they want without having to wade through things they don't want to see, increasing the likelihood of them spending money instead of getting frustrated and giving up on the search.

Creation of a Verified Commercial Continent for Real-World Businesses
I’d like to propose the creation of a dedicated commercial continent in Second Life — a space exclusively reserved for verified real-world businesses, institutions, and professionals who wish to operate in-world and provide services to the SL community. 🔹 Key Requirements for Participation: • Must hold a Premium Plus membership • Must submit valid documentation proving the existence of a real business, professional license, or institution • Land access would be granted only to verified entities intending to operate genuine, real-world services This would function similarly to the Linden Home system, but specifically focused on authentic commercial operations. The continent would be entirely made up of real and verified services, ensuring a trusted environment for users seeking education, professional support, training, or community services. 🔹 Examples of Eligible Participants: • Educational institutions and course providers • Licensed psychologists, therapists, and coaches • Legal consultants and business advisors • Health and wellness professionals • Non-profits or social outreach projects • Other certified service-based businesses 🔹 Benefits for Participating Businesses: • Lower operational costs than traditional physical offices • Ability to reach a global, digitally native audience • Brand positioning as innovative and future-ready • Access to immersive environments for service delivery, meetings, workshops, etc. • Opportunity to promote services through SL’s own channels • Listing in an official “Verified Business Directory” within SL • Possibility of discounts on private island purchases for verified business purposes • Support for integration tools (e.g. scheduling, client tracking, external links) 🔹 Why This Matters for Second Life: Bringing in real-world businesses can help grow the platform’s user base, increase engagement, and highlight SL’s power as a hub for professional, educational, and service-driven interactions. This idea draws inspiration from past projects where respected institutions like the University of Maryland and Imperial College London used Second Life for education, healthcare training, and outreach — showing how powerful and meaningful virtual spaces can be when used beyond entertainment. Let me know what you think! I’d love to hear feedback or refinements. I truly believe this could open new doors for the platform and its community. Best regards, Jesiris Resident
