Rule Clarifications and MOD Updates
Posted by Admin-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
Zolah Daifaux I took a look through the species and wow, some of them are really lopsided in terms of vote distribution. Maybe something can be added to the main page of Fur Idol to help reiterate it's a competition within the species, and not just overall, since I think there are a lot of people only voting for the ones showing up on the front page. Other entrants in a species are getting completely ignored. D:
Zolah - yeah, a good chunk of people are not realizing it's a competition between species and not just everyone who entered. Spare a vote for each species and even if you have entered you can still vote as well!
More people need to vote on the furidol, some animal cathegories are barely touched!
Like hyena, there is only 12 votes on the leader!
remember folks, 1 vote for each species! not only those on the front page ^^

Thank you for trying to answer it. It really was between 15-20 minutes really.
By the way I'm in USA never seeing time writen like that XD
Beafox I really hope so.Thank you for the update c:
Gwennafran Ah ok yeah if I missed the dot and read 5895 minutes I would be very upsetXD
Chaossal
Some countries use . and . in the opposite way of what the US does in numbers (not that it matters when you can't tell the difference on the forums/newsposts).
So if you read it quickly, it might read as 5895 minutes. Which is quite a few hours. ;)
Beafox
I honestly don't know. Great idea, though.
Maybe go though the painties galleries searching for approved costume painties, and see if others has gotten similar things approved, where half of it switched between species from the same costume.
Oh sweet! My Animal Husbandry suggestion was put in the game! :O
No idea if any others suggested the same thing but very happy right now~
Sandia
Where are you from that does not have minutes? o:
Beafox Yes I think it would be approved because there is not reason for it not to be approved
I've got a question for those still lurking about!
I'm working on creating an aquatic costume with intentions to use it on my horse or rabbit villager. However i'm not fond of how the aquatic horse looks(and by this i mean i LOVE the colors but i find the shape awkward.) so i'm creating a painty for it into something more my liking.
Here's a wip of it: https://gyazo.com/539e3844415b0076237bd7936ab1fe68
Now my question is.. do you think this painty would get the approval, yes or no? And why do you think so?
I've read the rules and technically i'm following them all.. but i've read some complaints about panties being rejected so i'd like a vote before i proceed any further with this.
Also! Sandia furvilla twitter says forums and chats will be up again sometime tomorrow. :3
