Tree Friend by Moth King of Moths won the Craft Spotlight!
I don't know if anyone noticed, but I'm a big fan of the dryads, so I decided to make a little bust figure of one of my tree friends, to show my devotion to them.

Moderation

Calling all moderators-to-be!


It's nearly time to open the floodgates, and we need your help! If you'd like to be a moderator, please send a Message to Club using the format below. We're looking to start with 2 or 3 moderators for now, and we're offering 6,000 Gems per month as a thank-you! Reliable, trustworthy moderators with seniority will also be considered for increased pay or even future employment as the site grows. Please only apply if you're 18 or older.

User Name:
Age:
Current Time Zone:
At what hours are you most active?
Do you have any experience working as a moderator or similar position maintaining a community or group?
How much time do you expect to be able to dedicate to the site on a weekly basis? Are there any regularly occurring days or times that you’re unavailable? Estimates or best guesses for this are fine!
Why do you want to join the moderation team?
Tell us a bit about yourself.


We have also updated our Terms and Rules, so you should read through those if you haven't already! The Terms added our Paypal legal information, while the Rules have clarified our view on profanity.

Speaking of which, it's time for another feedback question: What profanity, if any, do you think should be removed from our filters? The profanity that we wish to avoid is that which causes harm or discomfort, which is why our Rules were updated to specify that any profanity used against another user is not allowed. An exclamation like "holy spit!" or "that's a dang fricken gorgeous piece of cake" doesn't cause anyone harm, but "your (slur) face deserves to melt away so I never have to see it again!" is incredibly harmful. I hope that makes sense. Please let us know in a reply what profanity you think should and shouldn't be left in the filter!

On a completely different note, our dear Club has been hard at work changing items around. We have a few new items to introduce, as well as some changes to existing items and recipes.

Items moved into the Arcade for Piper's Snack Bar:
Butterscotch, Zebra Bubblegum, Rainbow Lollipop
Watermelon Soda, Tropical Punch Soda, Strawberry Soda, Root Beer Soda, Pineapple Soda, Peach Soda, Orange Soda, Lemon Lime Soda, Green Apple Soda, Grape Soda, Ginger Ale Soda, Dr. Pop Soda, Diet Cola Pop Soda, Cream Soda, Cranberry Soda, Cola ZERO Soda, Cherry Soda, Carbonated Milk, Blueberry Soda

Stocked in both the Arcade and the General store:
Chocolate Bar

Moved to Greenhouse Garden:
Green Olives

New Items in Greenhouse Garden:
Red Apple
Red Bell Peppers
Red Grapes
Black Olives

New Recipes:
White Grape Juice
Golden Raisins

Recipe changes:
Apple Jam: Now uses Red Apple instead of Green Apple
Apple Juice: Now uses Red Apple instead of Green Apple
Apple Pie: Now also needs Red Apple in addition to the original Green Apple
Crab Cakes: Now uses Red Bell Peppers instead of Green Bell Pepper
Western Omelet: Now also needs Red Bell Pepper in addition to the original Green Bell Pepper.
Raisins: Now uses Red Grapes rather then Green Grapes
Grape Jam: Now also needs Red Grapes addition to the original Green Grapes
Grape Juice: Uses Red grapes now instead of Green Grapes

BUG FIXES

Fixed:

Inventory only showing 18 items per page instead of 20 - fixed!

patience - Kith notification using "it" instead of "they" - fixed!

Investigating:

BBCode [color] button doesn’t stay applied when using double enters (whenever there is a blank line, the color code stops working) - status: fix in progress

double enter no longer working to create extra spaces on posts - status: fix in progress

KNOWN BUGS

Sometimes the Games don't download graphics to your computer properly. We don't know why yet. Close the window, refresh your cache and try opening the game again to fix this problem.

The security questions dropdown has repeat questions, whoops. We've disabled the security questions on the unlock request for the time being, so you should be able to unlock your account without them.

Item names may sometimes stretch the images in your inventory, in shops, etc.

The Restock Shop timer occasionally glitches. (This will be fixed after public launch.)

FEATURES STILL IN PROGRESS

Yeah... it does make it quite hard to read. >_>;

I'll prioritize that fix ASAP once OB is set up.

Is it possible to have a more lenient profanity filter - one that points it out but doesn't necessarily prevent you from posting? Like a page or confirmation button that says "your post contains profanity, are you sure you aren't breaking our community rules?" and you can hit yes if you're confident that you were just using them in a conversational manner?

I remember when I made a post a while back and mentioned my cat, I ran into a word being part of the filter and couldn't post my full text, and it took me a long time to track down exactly which word it was - I hadn't even known it was a slur (it's the second word of the fluffy cat breed from Maine). It actually would've been really helpful if the filter had told me which word it was hung up on.

Otherwise, I'm all for filtering slurs. Some of the more garden variety cuss words don't bother me, but I know some people who dislike them, so I'm happy with or without the filter for those.

Quick question about the terms that I didn't see in there (though I am pretty tired so I might have missed it glancing through), but might be something to consider once the floodgates are open, but does Tattered Weave have a stance on cross site trading? I know Flight Rising only allows it if the other site allows it, while other sites usually take one side or the other. Seeing as I am sure a lot of people coming in will be players from other sites, I was curious if it had been considered at all.

As for profanity, what you said makes total sense. I really don't have an opinion on what should or shouldn't be removed from the filters, seems to be fine for what is going on now.

I see Piper is hoarding all the soda now- going to have to hang out more to get my caffeine fix!

Yay! More recipes to collect. I finally finished gathering most of the old ones, so it'll be nice having more to find. And thanks for moving some items to Piper's! Hopefully between that and the increased inventory, quests will get a bit less frustrating.

Is there anyplace we can see what words are blocked by the profanity filter?

While I enjoy the idea of a cautionary pop up that can be dismissed, I also feel like that could turn out very bad, especially during the early days of open beta. That being said, I love the idea of the filter telling you what exactly is blocking it going through. It can be very frustrating to track down those single words here and there that you never knew were a slur or offensive in some context, especially when you're not using them in an offensive context at all.

On that note
Ah yes, finally, my chance to go for that cotton candy and funnel cake.

I agree that some indication of what word is being filtered would be incredibly helpful. It's always annoying attempting to search through your posts for anything that could be seen as profanity.
I haven't had any run-ins with the filters yet, so I can't say if they seem too strict or lenient (sites like Neopets have drilled gosh darn into me), but they seem good to me. <3

would it be too difficult to program optional censorship, so some users see the actual word used, and others just see "****", so someone could conversationally curse like a sailor, and still save someone with delicate ears/eyes from reading it? I only ask because, I'd never had the idea before and I don't know whether to feel clever or really slow for never having had it before
