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
I was reading the same thing as Kijame did. Which is why I'll change all of my villagers back to the main six so they all can wear costumes. It's a fine solution for me, but I can understand why it's bad for someone with a character or fursona with another species.
I think a somewhat nice solution would be if the other species could "wear" the costumes too, so they get the bonus, but the artwork don't actually change?
Also Gwennafran I got so shocked about the explorer change that I completely forgot about the animal husbandry change. That made the bonus somewhat useless unless if you give the costume for a "beginner" villager. Maybe getting a higher chance at getting rarer pet colors and pet types would be a great replacement bonus.
Mutiny I too suggested that Newscomments are read oldest from newest because that way you can point people at page X for the answer they're looking for, but with newest from oldest each reply keeps wandering towards the back XD
Gwennafran I read that in my first few days so by now I couldn't even link you anymore if I wanted to because I don't remember where I found it. Could have been the twitter but don't quote me on anything, I can merely say that I did read it at this point XD

Thank you for the explanation, I did not know about the change log until you mentioned it.
I need to bookmark it so I won't be hopelessly confused again. Again, thank you for helping!
Prrrrrrrrrraise the lord for this update <3

Quick trick: You can switch the HTML to hit a specific news page. Just changed the number at the end to go to that page.
For instance, this takes you to page 5: http://www.furvilla.com/news/6?page=5
And this would be page 10: http://www.furvilla.com/news/6?page=10
Not quite what you're asking for, but it can make things a little easier while waiting for a suggestion to be implemented. ;)
WhatAmI
Change to Construction Worker skill: the amount of skill given by Herbalist Pots has been reduced to 1, and the amount of skill given by Stables has been reduced to 3 (down from 5 for both). Houses remain at 5 skill given.

This was posted in the change log, it's good to regularly check it because they're putting a lot of the minor changes there instead of the news now.
Okay after reading through more than *twenty pages* of news to get caught up...I have a new minor suggestion.
I think it would be great if we could display more messages per page and also if you could manually select which page of news you'd like to view. As it is now you can only click back or froward a few pages at a time or go to the very end or very beginning of the news. Another option I'd like is the ability to display news comments from oldest to newest so that I don't miss comments (because someone posted a new comment while I was reading) that were posted at the very bottom of pages while trying to read through in chronological order.
Maybe this won't (hopefully it won't) be such a problem when we have the forums back but for now it's pretty frustrating to try and search for information this way. I want to go through the news so I don't end up asking the same question that's already been answered before but as it is now I almost want to stop checking since, again, twenty+ pages of new posts.
Sorry for being a little ranty, this just made me a bit peeved. Heh.
Aych this new durability thing just wiped out my construction. Super glad I got that 170 durability house before it got nerfed. Probably gonna go pull all my pots off the market.
Hello, was there information somewhere about the reason for skill reduction? Or does it happen every once a while? Not a pleasant surprise for my sneks. Oh, well, back to making herbalist pots...
Kijame
Autch!
That just seems pretty unfair to people preferring other species than the main 6. If they're not going to add more, they should try to find a solution for that, so other species can get a similar bonus.
