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
Is there any timeframe when us who lost 100 FD while you guys were getting on the same page will get the refund or the free paintie reupload? It's been about an hour since I sent in my email.
Or instead of taking parts from other species, you could, y'know, draw your own wings. Just a thought.
Nonstop
If it's not a species available when you make your first villager, it is considered rare in the game.
hey ! thanks for clarifying the rules ! i dont spend money on pet sites , so no painties for me , but i know a few players were upset by the breast rule / unclear species change rule , and its good that youre doing such a fine job ! one concern i have though , is this . what happened to the wanderers ? i was just about to buy a house to shelter one of them once i got home from the beach , but noticed that the wanderers feature was missing . did you remove it ?
Rarity isn't decided per how long it takes a single person to make a potion. If there's a ton of DADs on the site, then they're not rare.
TheWibbler It doesn't matter. The potions are not limited, and to my knowledge, they aren't going anywhere. Just because it seems hard now, doesn't mean it'll be like this months down the road. Also, under 8hrs was just my experience with my first potion, it may have taken a lot less for other people. Having blue DAD wings spliced on to a pantie DOES NOT make the "actual" any less rare.
Thank you for all of your hard work :3
The thing about DAD wings though, is that you won't even necessarily get the ones you want from the potion on top of the coloring you want. This is assuming someone doesn't want a paintie and wants just the normal DAD. So while it might take under 8 hours to get the mats for a potion, you're trying to get both the wings AND coloring. This is totally disregarding that not everyone can spend long amounts of time on the website at a time, so it might take them days to make a potion. It might not be rare to you, but it might be to someone else, y'know?
thank u for the update and i'm really happy to see that an issue i emailed in about was addressed as a change!!!
Madness
Yeah uh.. as much as I like the game I have found a few things that are really... off.
That's why I'm hoping I get a reply to my support email.
