Terms of Service Changes
Posted by Mat on 6 Jul 2016, 12:37 am
We have altered our Terms of Service to clarify and address two points of concern raised to our support channels by players.
1) The Terms no longer forbid "exposed female nipples" and "exposed female breasts," but instead all exposed nipples and all exposed breasts.
2) Players hold the copyright to their user-submitted content (such as forum posts), and provide Furvilla with an industry-standard license to use that content to display it to other Furvilla players.
3) Furvilla owns the copyright to its bases, as well as all derivative works of them. However, players retain the copyright to their characters and designs.
Thank you for your feedback and we hope these changes address the concerns.
Howl Excellent! (And I'm sure we all feel bad about hijacking the news threads, but it's the best we've got until forums open. The team is moving with incredible speed and it is greatly appreciated.)
From Twitter: Major Change: Chance to catch an illness has been halved for all professions.
Still waiting on my squirrels!!!
Thanks for adding the confirmation pop up on selling items. You guys move very quickly and I really appreciate that.
sailorcatbutt I like your idea of having Villagers' friends displayed on their page! Taking it a little further, what if we also had a caption space beneath or next to each friend's picture, something where you could type a few words about their relationship to the friend? You could state who they are (friend, husband, child, aunt, etc) and maybe a little sentence about them (how they met, or what they like to do together). I would enjoy that a lot!
Thank you for posting an update for us!
I like the equality, in the fact that it's not just FEMALE nipples, but ALL nipples in general. Although, it does seem that animal nipples are somewhat of a grey area,
I am glad that we hold the copyright to our submitted content, because I was a little worried for artists and our character designs alike. I understand that you wish to hold the copyright to the bases themselves, because they do belong to you afterall.
P.S I'm noticing all these small QOL changes, and they really make it more user-friendly. You guys really listen to the community! Thank you FurVIlla staff for making such a wonderful game!
Thank you for the last bullet! It makes me so happy that the characters and designs will still belong to us and Furvilla will not take credit for them. More websites should be like that.
To those who say nipples are non-sexual and are for feeding babies, I agree with you completely. Nevertheless, the practical reality is that there are some who consider bare breasts/nipples as cause for flagging the game as mature, even adult, and if we want to keep the game accessible to all ages, the restriction is unavoidable.
Hey, you added the confirmation popup! :D Thanks so much!
Maverynthia Thank you! It's good to know!
AsheGaming I think people might have misunderstood what I was saying when I said nipples are for feeding young. What I meant was, nipples and breasts are not sexual organs. They exist for a completely non-sexual activity (keeping your babies from starving from death). I wasn't trying to say that feeding your young is an "excuse to show them off."
