Baconpants: it seems as a merchant you can still see the name in the notification email, but what if you miss the email (happens a lot) or delete it by accident, you can't ever get back to the customer to solve things :/

why? geez

Thanks, I hate it. (I’d happily have no reviews at all, they are rarely useful info)

Ew. I wish that was not a thing.

Well, that’s not going to cause massive issues

what Baconpants said, and also positive reviews will have less value now. people will assume it's fake. i'd like to know what they were thinking, i didn't see any official news about it yet, only forum posts.

Wow

If it can be gamed it will be

Seems like that can ONLY be good for exactly...no one and nothing. Way to go LL

how did they have a meeting, toss that idea around and somehow conclude it would be a good thing? It boggles the mind really

:| why

this is a terrible idea

noooo it's how e can figure out which is fake reviews too!

lots of merchants already get lots of dumb reviews by people who don't understand how the thing works or don't understand that they got exactly what was advertised or that they should have tried a demo, now we can't even contact those people to fix the problem and try to get them to change their review?

Almost every time I've gotten a negative review I've contacted the person and worked things out with them human to human and they've been happy to change their review. So long proactive customer service I guess

I'd rather have no reviews at all than this

Oh god. I’m sure this will only promote constructive comments.

What a stupid idea.

Why am I completely unsurprised that LL did this? I swear, they don’t even use their own product.

I'm think it's a bug. Or someone hacked it. I filed a bug report, please watch it https://jira.secondlife....

The names are back!

I hope it was just an oversight on LL's part then. I've always been a glass-half-empty kind of person.

is there info from LL on this? where are you seeing this?

Ughhh really bad move LL

i'm seeing names on MP, hope it was just a bug

FroukjeHoorenbeek: oh yay, thank you! glad it was just a bug

nimil: today all names were removed from MP reviews and on the SL forum were posts about it Marketplace reviews and comments are now anonymous. ... but seems it has been just a bug, names are back \o/

ah good I went looking when I saw your plurk and everything had names
