  • IMVU: Fix Broken Company Policies
    I am a member of your community. Some of the names on this list are part of your developing community as well. We, the people of both your social community AND THE MEANS FOR YOUR BUSINESS have had enough of your lack of ability to perform your jobs to their fullest extent. Below is your list of things that are expected of your company that they are not doing: A) Properly reviewing the content of publicly displayed images. - You have failed to demonstrate your ability to properly review images that are displayed publicly by banning or even disabling users whose avatar display images are not considered "Access Pass Only" (hereafter referred to as AP) or do not go against the terms laid out in your own Terms of Service (hereafter referred to as ToS). B) Properly reviewing products in your catalog that have been flagged by your users. - When an item goes through the Peer Review system, that means that a jury of it's peers has declared that this item is properly rated and is suitable for IMVU catalog. Something’s make it through that are not. However, where the inability of your company lies is in someone reporting an item that has made it through Peer Review already. It is obvious by the refunds and by the products being disabled, along with their creators, that IMVU is not doing their own reviewing properly. Items that have no reason being AP are being flagged as inappropriate and then you proceed to ban it and provide a refund because it has supposedly broken the ToS when there is nothing evident about it that does so. Unacceptable. C) Providing information to those who have been victim to the above. - When someone is victim to the above mentioned failures of your company, you refuse to impart details as to why they have been banned, disabled, or why a product was removed. The only thing you say is that it was reported and upon review was found guilty. Under what terms was it found to break the ToS? How is someone in a leather jacket, which is from your catalog and a “General Access” item (hereafter referred to as GA), breaking your ToS? The pose was not considered AP. They were even by themselves in their picture. So how? D) Not punishing those who are acting out of spite. - There are people who simply report others for fun. There are those who do it out of anger when wronged by another person somehow. These “Serial Reporters” are not being punished for their actions and you are simply feeding into them to keep doing it by not reviewing or doing your jobs properly. You are the final judge on what happens and yet you do nothing to prevent the true criminals from leeching away your community. You, IMVU, are letting down your consumers. The same people who are your users. The same people who are your means of business. The same people who use this as their own means to business. You are failing to properly punish those who are wrong and supporting these false vigilantes in their quest to watch the world burn. We, the community of IMVU, have had enough. We are signing this petition to show to you that you need to fix these problems because we are not going to take this abuse any longer. We are not just bits of data. We are real people and we will not be denied what is properly ours, the ability to use this program without the fear of being banned or disabled because the host company will not do their job properly.

  • President Barack Obama: Stop the F-35!
    My Neighborhood and my health are in danger of losing a decent quality of life if the F-35 is brought to The Burlington Airport. The airforce itself has reported that the area near the airport would be deemed unlivable! Yet our local politicians are not listening, nor will they respond to our queries. People should come first and the wasteful cost of the F-35 should be cut!!!

  • Even in cases of rape or incest
    My two years in the Peace Corps were among the most difficult and most rewarding of my life. I was stationed in a small village called Tanyigbe in Ghana where I taught chemistry and biology at the local high school. Peace Corps volunteers, like me, devote their time and energy in service of people all around the world, and sadly, they too often face the risk of sexual assault. So, when I found out that women in the Peace Corps are denied access to abortion coverage—even in cases of rape, incest or life endangerment—I was outraged. The Peace Corps Equity Act of 2013 would fix this, and we know we can make it happen. When the American public discovered that military women—who are too frequently victims of sexual assault—were denied abortion coverage in such cases, the public outcry led to the passage of the Shaheen Amendment to change that. So we know that if we speak out loud enough, we can win this. And this bill is on the move in the Senate, so we need to act now. Will you join me to create the groundswell we need to ensure that women in the Peace Corps have access to abortion coverage?

  • Protect the Cheyenne Ancestral Homeland
    Arch Coal wishes to put in a new Tongue River Railroad for a new Otter Creek coal strip mine in the Cheyenne Ancestral Homeland. The proposed development would have numerous impacts to the land, wildlife, water, air, and ultimately destroy sacred sites. No public interest is served by this project, and to destroy a people's sacred land is wrong.

  • Gov. McCrory and NCGA; Stand Up Against Shoot First Laws
    Whether you have a personal experience with gun violence or not, each of us is impacted by the “Shoot First/ Stand Your Ground” Laws. No longer are we perceived as our own Neighbors, Friends, or Travelers. These laws are uniquely designed to turn every Man, Woman and Child into “Prey”. While this law clearly puts lives at risk, it also endangers our very concept of how we perceive each other. Reject the notion that your neighbor is a ‘Thug’. Reject the language that is being imposed upon us as a Society. Stand Up Against “Stand Your Ground”.

  • keisean Ellis
    Hello! My name is Cassandra Nelson and I am writting on behalf of keisean Ellis who is my son. On December 30,2011 keisean Ellis was forced at gun point into his car (while other gun man was lefted at his home waiting to kill his 2 daughters )and forced to put on a mask and gave a crow bar, the gun man took the gun from his head and put the gun in the lower part of his back before entering a cassey gas station were keisean had put in a application for a second job. After the robbery keisean drove were he knew police sat on a daily base, keisean kept turning off and on the 1 head light he had and kept swirving to get the police attention, finally the cop pulled him over. Wen after the cop pulled him over for a traffic stop keisean try to tell the cop what was going on the cop from normal turned them both over Bloomington police, after questioning keisean was took in a different room from the camera were he was beat and charge. Keisean Ellis has been beat by guards and they allowed other inmates to attack him. I have repeatedly called the public defender who was a pointed to keisean I called the judge I wrote the white house and contacted the naacp alone with the civil right the sheriff department and the FBI. Keisean heard about attorney Patrick fagan , he asked me to call him, after word we verbally agreed to him being keisean attorney, I explain how my son had been beat how I contacted the NAACP and the fbi and the whitehouse. I told him I wanted a discovery and a report on keisean being beat that I could here it on the phone and how record it and me and my son and the guards the nurse (who refused to give him medical attention) conversation over the phone, how he was not giving phone cards or conversery until 1 to weeks later. Keisean was put in the whole he was on 23 hours lock down he was threatened and put were other blocks were men who threatened to rape him were he was put around raicist white men who called him niggers and who would attack him, false reports were put on him a guy who threat him over the phone wen he called his so called girlfriend she would give him different phone numbers to call her then she would have another guy answer and threaten him, this same guy so happens to get locked up with keisean after I file complaints on the guards. Naacp member has a death in his family therefore did not go to check on keisean until after his face had healed , the gun man writes a letter staying keisean girlfriend and her cuisine set the whole thing up, he was then beating, (letter never went before the judge, in fact I sat in the court room and here the judge repeatedly say/forced keisean having the gun)( in the discovery which I was told I can read and was not allowed to leave the states attorney office with, it states police saw the other guy place the gun on the back seat of the floor of the car.) These people refused to acknowledge a crime was committed against keisean and he was forced against his will. The attorney first told keisean not to discuss this case with me, then I explain I am his mother the one paying him. Then he told keisean nigger if I don't my money you are going to jail , he went on vacation sent his father to court to tell the judge to give keisean 3 to 5 years (keisean is currently Severn 6 years) (double jeopardy) the girlfriend or ex girlfriend bragged about how her family is friends with alot of the guards/and cops there how some of them her and her aunt serve at the bar, how the guards tell her who visit keisean and every thing else she wants to know. She said that she hated him and that she told him she was going to get him. Keisean Ellis is currently in Robinson illinois department of correctional. Were he is still currently still going thru the same treatment, keisean been beating to the point he was forced to lie, even on himself. He has lack of funds and support. I am currently not able to work I am waiting on disability. Keisean worked at Myers store in Bloomington normal,Illinois before this happen to him. Keisean Ellis and his family took care of his children and helped the mother by taking her off the streets of Bloomington normal , Illinois. Were here family left her, while keisean Ellis worked at burger king were he met her, keisean is a heart patient.

  • STOP demolition of Hollywood Park 12/2013
    Hollywood Park Race Track is set for demolition by developers. Our mission is the preservation of this iconic -- and-- Californian landmark. TAKE ACTION! Horses such as Seabiscuit, Lava Man, Citation & Zenyatta have lived and raced here. Trainers such as Jack Van Berg, Bobby Frankel, Charlie Whittingham, Doug O' Neill and Bobby Baffert train or have trained here. Jockeys like Red Pollard, Pat Day, Chantal Sutherland, Laffit Pincay, Victor Espinoza and Mike Smith have raced here. Bing Crosby, Walt Disney, Samuel Goldwyn are a few of the famous luminaries who contributed to Hollywood Park's history! The Hollywood Park infield lake has a young flock of Flamingos originating from Hialeah Park Race Track, the sole fertile flock in the USA. The original flock (12 birds) imported from Cuba in the 60's has increased to nearly 500 including some of the original breeding stock. If we preserve the habitat in Hollywood Park, San Diego Zoo experts predict that this flock could increase to 4-500 birds by 2070. Your signature and comment could help preserve Hollywood Park by listing it on the National Trust's 11 Most Endangered Historic Places in USA for future generations to enjoy.
