Rule Clarifications and MOD Updates
Posted by Mat on 12 Jul 2016, 12:26 pm
We have been consolidating and reviewing a lot of feedback on various rules we have, and are happy to announce that all of the updated rules have been released.
1. The Terms of Service no longer forbids breasts, but instead focuses entirely on nipple exposure. Breasts are now allowed on Painties as well as artwork posted on Furvilla provided they follow the nipple rule. We feel this best represents a SFW environment while also not implying sexualization of people with that body shape.
2. The Terms of Service clarify our position on game asset trading with other browser games. The short answer is, we are fine with trading, however, we would like you to wait until the game is out of beta before doing so.
3. The Code of Conduct now indicates that CSS should not be used to cover or alter game stat information, including hiding or altering your or your villager's stats, or replacing your villager's image with CSS.
4. Our Forum Rules have now been updated to indicate that the phrase 'illegal drugs' refers to United States federal law, as there are discrepancies between the laws of different countries regarding what is an illegal drug, as well as individual states within the US.
5. Finally, after taking in all feedback with Painties and speaking with our Paintie moderators, we have completely revamped the Painties rule page in a way we hope clarifies everything regarding Paintie rules. We have been struggling with the inventive ways that players are creating some Painties, but unfortunately some are created in ways we did not intend for our bases to be used. We hope that this guide clarifies what we consider permissible for the use of our bases and helps clear confusion.
That now covers all the rules that have been changed thanks to your feedback. We also wanted to let you know that moderator applications are now closed. We received over a thousand applications and have hired our team. We do not yet have an ETA on releasing the forums as the moderators are occupied with ironing out issues with Painties. We will provide you an update when we have an idea of when the forums will be ready to re-release.
Last, here are a list of changes that have been implemented since Monday, the majority of them from suggestions e-mailed to us:
- grayed out Change Career button when idle
- destroy unwanted recipes from career page
- removed white gradient on long Private Messages
- Transfer Currency / Transfer Item on user page
- horizontal scrollbar appear in the message box when needed
- view all recipes/their reagents for reference: searching items in the museum now provides a list of reagents (for recipes), or a link to the recipe that crafts the item, or links to all recipes that use the item
- placed a button in the blacksmith career page that straight away takes you to repair requests
- Villagers page indicates which villagers are sick and with what
- item pages now include links to NPC shops if the item stocks there
- Paintie Removal button to strip a Paintie from a villager at the user's request
- the following items can now be used from the inventory on villagers who are not the active villager: medicines, pets, recipes, costumes, species potions, hp potions

The last reply that I heard about it was no off side trading till beta is over (prolly to assure that you do not gain items which might vanish when the game goes "live". Waiting for this as I got some FR treasures, some Xanje gold and some Ovipet credits to trade as I want to get FD somehow :P
SilverDeath IIRC, FR & MC are waiting for FV to come out of beta? Since there is still chance of a wipe and such. =)
Will cross-site trading ever be addressed in the CoC/ToS/Forum Rules? I know a large handful of folks itching to know about this, as some sites do not permit cross-site trading without specific outlines on it from the other site.
Is there a specific place to give game feedback/suggestions? i have a few that may be helpful to future game play ^_^ Thanks!
Good Morning from Europe,
Can somebody tell me if there is any benefit from using more wood to build a house than the game asks me to use? Like the game says it costs 150 wood, but then when I started building the house I am free to select my own amount of wood. Is it usefull to use less or more wood than those 150?

Thanks for updating the paintie rules. I also feel that the moderators should be a little more strict with what they pass through. Also I like these minor adjustments, they help a lot. It does make me wonder if you guys have moderated any fetish stuff, I haven't seen any and hope not to, o_o'
question suggestions:
-I hope the forums are back up soon. I'm getting lonely u_u
-Also with painties cold you consider paying a flat fee of 100FD for one villager and resubmit painties in the future? I've seen a few people realize mistakes only after they have submitted.
-Also can you enable replies to comments in the news? I think I can message people maybe, but a reply button would make things clear.
Also the nipple fiasco: I honestly didn't feel this needed that much attention lol. Should of just gone with typical censorship laws, you can't please everyone.
Awesome job team!
I love that there is more description to the rules now as there were a lot of grey areas before.
Looking forward to the forums being open, so fingers crossed that they come next. :D
Also if anyone is looking for some customized Painties, I do take commissions! You can check out the affordable prices and details in my most recent journal on Deviantart! - isnelx.deviantart.com
@ TheGatekeeper, - I'd be happy to help you with your Fursona as I can think of a few ways to piece him together without using the rare species! : ) If you do them yourself, I'd be happy to let you give you some tips! Message me if interested. ^_^
Since forums are down and I'm bored I'll post this here -- doing character chibi commissions. Examples and such are in my profile. c:
