Hello,
If my block is related to the editing of my photos, I'd like to raise an essential point: a very large proportion of the images published on the platform are also retouched. Hair reworked, shadows added, lighting corrected, elements integrated via Photoshop... all of this is far removed from the actual rendering in Second Life.
For blog photos, content moderation should be the responsibility of the stores concerned, not the platform.
I blog about clothes, not hair. I'm not a hair blogger. Yet, I'm criticized for editing my hair, while many other people do the same without ever being questioned.
If these modifications are "not SL content," then this rule should apply to all users, without exception. Editing the hair or lighting in a photo is already tantamount to altering the reality of SL, and yet this type of content remains widely accepted.
I therefore don't understand why some creators are blocked while others can freely publish with visible edits. This unequal treatment calls into question the consistency and credibility of the moderation system.
If we prohibit all editing, then all modified photos should be affected. Otherwise, it's preferential treatment, and it's neither fair nor equitable.
Do I really have to stop retouching my hair in my photos? If it's a rule, it must be clearly formulated and applied to everyone.
Otherwise, we risk falling into a pattern of surveillance and denunciation, which has nothing to do with the creative spirit of the community.
I therefore ask you:
To reconsider this decision so that I can continue to publish my photos in the gallery.
To ensure impartial application of the rules for all users.
To officially clarify the accepted limits regarding image retouching.
If the gallery is to represent only pure SL content, then all photos should be raw, without any editing or post-processing. And in this case, the moderators themselves should apply this requirement universally.
Thank you in advance for your attention and for your clear and transparent response on this matter.
Sincerely,
lLipsya Resident
