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
Naify Okay, congrats, you've stated this...four times now? That doesn't clear up this issue at all.
Seraph and even if it weren't the BETA version when you signed up and agreed to the terms of service.
14. Site Terms of Use Modifications
Furvilla may revise these terms of use for its web site at any time without notice. By using this web site you are agreeing to be bound by the then current version of these Terms and Conditions of Use.
Appreciate the clarification and the lil micro updates to QOL aspects of the game.
Naify So because they changed the rules no one is allowed to have a differing opinion or be upset?
It's beta, but real money was spent on FD to get painties with now-illegal limbs and parts on them. If these rules had been clarified before open beta, this would've been fine. But people have spent their hard-earned money to get these painties, and this isn't fine.
Angelic-Horror
Warren was made after Wayward was adopted. Yet he's ahead of Wayward on the right side of the page.
I used to have Sylvia last because I don't like how the small image of her is so vastly different from the others (since the original owner didn't do a headshot for it >.<)
Now it's in alphabetical order over there, lol. If it were first to last created, then that would be fine, since that would put them back in almost the same order that I originally had them in.
Naify so I'm supposed to go hunt down artists on other sites? And, again, I didn't say they weren't a rare species. Please, please, read my responses before repeating over and over.
@thewibble yes, and, that's why people are debating about this.
Anyone willing to trade a Manokit potion for a Dutch AD potion?
Seraph and again we're in BETA version it was bound to happen that they'd change the rules. You signed up for that when you joined the site this early.
I have to agree with Naify, this is a beta. We're beta -testers- which literally means we're here to help them figure out what works and what doesn't. If the site were live, the frustration would be more understandable imo.
