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
Seraph the point is that due to site guidelines it is still considered a rare species. The potions are easy to get. I was just clarifying that so everyone would know that it's a rare species no matter what.
Also there's artists in other sites doing them for free if you don't wanna spend money.
Naify That's right, NEW rules. This WASN'T in the rules before lmao.
Naify 'Kay, but, the forums aren't up. And won't be up for a while. Okaaaaay, and? They aren't going anywhere, aren't running out of stock, can be made within a day, and are sold cheap in shops.
Seraph it says right so on the new rules that you cannot use rare species parts. It's rule number 3. When you sing in to the beta you're bound to get new rules. Simple as that.
I must ask this; my partner's fursona is a Wyvern, but you don't have a base for that. I would have to use with the bird wings or bat wings for the arms on the dragon. Is this allowed?
For people who want a paintie that uses "Rare" features, what if you submitted a morphing potion with your paintie application? Then you'd still need to earn it
WHEN WILL THE FORUMS BE BACK ;-;
Seraph if you're still not happy with the way it looks, there are still artists in the forums that are surprisingly doing painties for free. Or you could take a pair of wings from a non-rare species. Also, in the end, DAD are a rare species because they're not availabe when you log in.
Naify Where in the rules did it specify? If it was specified ahead of time, bases that already have spliced panities would have been rejected. If this was in the rules before, there wouldn't have been issues. I'm sorry, I cannot make decent looking wings without months of practice. And I really don't have the time to sit down and practice drawing wings for a small luxury.
I think a big part is that people want to have it actually look good / match with the site's style, it is rather complex and well drawn I love all the creativity though and wish that just everyone had the skills to bring their creations to life in a beautiful way :(
