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 like that idea, Kijame ! That'd work well, too.
My Verne sat there for hours, and yeah, it was nice, but I felt the sting when my next two, Alvadera and Mango, whizzed by, and I feel bad when I see others go by really fast too. The new gallery could mitigate that some, at least, but I'm pretty sure most wouldn't argue that it kinda stinks to have something you spent hours on get little notice!
Or instead of the 10 or eleven newest painties, a random selection of painties. Mayhaps of all the ones less than 24h approved, mayhaps a mix of old and new to give the older, unnoticed painties a chance to get the spotlight. Maybe the big one next to the wandering villagers could be a fully randomized one and the bottom 10 still newest, but randomized among newest? (And originally I thought, since I meet them at my Town Hall, that they were all Dragonsmaw painties, but alas, they were not XD)
v---- I await the day I get a paintie approved and it sits there for hours, just racking up comments... ;w;
That would be awesome lol
Hmm...here's a suggestion (I'd email it but I don't have my phone with me).
Automated Paintie Queue.
Paintie admins approve Painties as normal, then the queue automatically approves painties at a set interval. Currently, one Paintie will sit up on the front page for hours, getting loads of comments, while the rest will just whizz by when the admins do batches (as far as I can tell, anyway). Granted, I don't know what the Paintie submission volume is, so this could have the effect of slowing approvals down if it gets backed up enough. So there's that to consider.
Thoughts?
Arioch1530 If I'm not mistaken, that update in the change log is referring to the "main page" of the stall search, where it shows the most recent listings in stalls. If you want specific searches, you need to enter them into the bar.
OK, the update to the stall searching is... odd? I can select just wood and get many pages of results. The first page is all wood items, but not ordered by price and if I try to go to the second page it's tons of items that are anything but wood.
Oh!! We can rename our minipets!! This is a Good QOL update and I approve a LOT.
Looking to trade my FC for FD!! <3 message me for prices please, desperate! <3 <3
Fellow warrior squad - are any of you noticing a decrease in token drops or am I falling to bad luck/confirmation bias?
Just saw the update to searching the stalls! Can't wait to test it out.
