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
@MOD-Paint-chan
I resubmitted, thanks :3
I'm going to agree with Nonstop - Me using the arms or wings of a DAD doesn't make the DADs less rare or anything, same with using, say, the tail off of the werewolf costume to give my fox a fuzzier tail. It's not like I get the buff for uploading a paintie, It kind of killed my inspiration for painties as well, as I don't see how using minor parts undermine the other rare species.
Looking to buy 100-300FD with FC. Choose your own rate, PM if interested. Thanks!
Actually, I have a bit of a question. I have an OC that would work on an Dutch AD base, but it would involve changes like no wings, not a fluffy tail end, and a sort of beak muzzle (it's my icon so yeah that lol). However the Dutch AD site says they must have: Horse-like head/body, Feathered wings. So I assume this wouldn't be accepted?
That said, maybe it would be nice if alongside Paintie mods there was also a person or two who could check over possible painties and let us know if they're acceptable? That way people who have trouble getting FD wouldn't have to get it and then potentially have no use for it if they just wanted one paintie or something.
Can one breed the store bought kitsunes?
The new paintie rule about the rare species is very restricting and the justification for it doesn't make sense. Me splicing DAD wings onto the horse base does not undermine the actual price of a DAD. Me splicing DAD wings onto the horse base does not undermine the effort other players have gone through to get an *actual* Dutch Angel Dragon. Having a basic base with a few parts from a "rare" base does NOT UNDERMINE THE RARE BASE IN ANY WAY. I don't buy a Dutch Angel Dragon potion because I don't want the things - I think they're ugly and gross. I splice the wings onto my horses because I wanted my horses to have wings that were in proportion to their body like their actual OCs.
This has really killed all my excitement for painties. Am I going to get all six of my painties taken down because of this new rule?
Question; I have a tiny dragon sona that also floats. Can I shrink the dragon base and have him floating and upload it as a paintie, as long as the base still looks like the dragon base?
sorry for asking but can you please make it so we can change our village multiple times? or at least once a week or something, because i chose a village that i dont enjoy very much and i would love to join the quetzal place
Fabric Oh okay, thank you very much. :) That makes sense, I've seen there be no wandering villager before but usually the latest paintie was just moved over, but I will admit it does look nicer and more compact now.
Mutiny , It seems to be that if there are no Wanderers at the time, the whole section is condensed and they will no feature the "latest" paintie, it simple puts them in the row with the rest of the recent painties. If there is a wanderer, they put the section back, so both Wanderer and Lastest Paintie show up.
Occasionally, all of the wanderers get adopted so there are none at one time or another. I guess they just wanted the page to look more attractive.
That's what I noticed at least.
