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
Oh man, seriously, huge thanks to all of you on the Furvilla team for making this game better and better with every passing day! <3 Even if they're not announced publicly each time a small update happens to the game, I do notice- the small things, such as the shop purchase totals, the confirmation in selling items... you name it; and as a player, I really really appreciate all the hard work you guys put into the little, finite details! Thank you so much for making this game!
If there's anything I could possibly suggest for the game, it's the presence of a "reply" button on Villager profiles/user profiles; I understand that this will likely be implemented in forums/chat, which is wonderful, but being able to send a quick "thank you" or have a little chat with someone without having to split apart a conversation between user profiles would be really helpful! ;v; Again, thank you all for your hard work, and thank you so much for listening to our suggestions!
Being able to use items on non-active villagers is great, but can you please make it so that we can make more of them in the first place? I'm still completely bewildered at the fact that only one village can make health potions without having to go out of their way to buy materials AND bottles from other users if they don't happen to be in the right place. I understand species and medicines being limited by village, but not health potions... ._.
I did send a contact form asking about this, but I received no confirmation email, so I'm not sure if it went through or not. (For that matter, a confirmation form letter email for contact us submissions would be spiffy!)
That aside though, thank you all so much for all the work you've been putting into this site. It quickly became my main hangout and I can't wait to see where it all goes next.
Thanks for news <3
Thank you for the clarification for painties.
Rutherford I would also like a better stall interface. I have accidentally bought furdollar priced items as well. It would be nice if when we tick off the "Show Furdollar Results" option, that it would stay unticked when we search multiple times. It's annoying to manually untick it every time I'm searching for something.
Also, I really would love some sort of bank system D:
So, if I'm reading these responses correctly, I CAN make a galaxy bat eventhough there's galaxy costumes? Mind you, it doesn't look the same as the way the costumes were drawn in the first place.
Thank you guys for all the hard work and dedication put into this game

"they were all offered the chance to simply replace their Paintie by emailing me at [email protected] for no extra fee. Also, we did not put a warning on any of the "rare species/costume parts" "violations" since this hadn't been posted yet. We simply sent a message."
Marzi you may not hide villager information with CSS. It states that
omg, thank you so much for looking into the issue of users talking about illegal drugs, it means so much to me. that last sentence on the rule was very good to include as well.
so is there a reason why people whose previously-approved painties get removed ARE NOT BEING REFUNDED THEIR FD? :/
