Voucher rules

Due to a large increase in voucher requests, we are unable to keep track of every user who gets a voucher approved by one of our staff members. Due to this, when advertising that you are looking for voucher offers on your pacapillars or snekkets, OR when transferring the character to their new owner, we are requesting that users include their ticket number as proof of approval in their advertisement / transfer reason so that we can keep tabs on everyone using this system fairly. 
Example:
     Ad: Vouchering my Paca xyz for $60! Voucher has been approved in the ticket #0023
     On-site transfer: Reason: $60 voucher, approved in ticket #0023

 

Gallery Sorting

After many years and several improvements, our gallery has remained relatively untouched, now finally we're working on a new sorting sytem for them! All submissions are currently being manually moved into their appropriate sub-galleries, but once everything has been sorted, we ask that you start to use these sub-galleries rather than the main gallery. When we are through sorting, you may notice the "+" button on the main page will be missing. You may wonder how you submit to galleries in that case. To do so, just simply follow the below steps:

• STEP 1: 
  Select a Sub-Gallery
  • When looking at a gallery's header, you will see smaller text links listed below the title. These are sub-galleries and where you will want to submit to. Click on one to be taken to the sub-gallery's unique link. (Be mindful of what gallery you click on to make sure everything stays sorted neatly.)
    
• STEP 2:
  Submit to the Gallery you have selected
  • On the left-hand side of the page (or on the side menu on mobile), you will see a list of galleries. This is all the parent galleries you can find on the main Gallery page you just came from. When you are in a parent gallery, this sidebar will show a list of all the sub-galleries within that parent gallery.
  • The title at the top of the page displays what sub-gallery/parent gallery you are currently sitting in
  • On the right hand side of the page, there is a submit button. This will submit the piece to the gallery you are currently sitting in. From there simply create your gallery submission as normal.

Art Fight Criteria Bonus

Now being into the start of September, we are under the assumption any Art Fight pieces have received their bonus criteria rewards, so the criteria tick has now been turned off until next year. We love that people took advantage of this bonus, and created more pieces for one another during Art Fight season, and we're excited to see next year's turn out too! 

SHading Guide

For a while now, the question has been up in the air over what is an acceptable level of shading to claim the bonus, and this info not being clear has resulted in frustration, which isn't fun for anyone. Our prompt admin, TornPages , has created a guide to help with some clarity, displaying various tiers of what is accepted, and what will have the bonus turned off. Any past submissions that have been processed already will not be affected and are safe, but moving forward, we will be adhering to this guide to make things flow much more smoothly, making judgement on whether there's shading or not much easier.

Rejection Request Button

Since adding in criteria rewards and getting rid of the shading requirement on all prompts, we've been trying to pass prompt submissions more openly to allow everyones art to feel appreciated and accepted, however we have noticed that this has brought the issue of staff simply editing criteria forms to match our grading judgement as long as they meet the base requirements when users could have their piece rejected instead so that they can make edits and gain their full rewards. We've heard your requests and now on both writing and art criteria forms, there is a new button at the top of the form. This does not give any bonus Leaflets, but instead it lets our staff team know to reject your piece and make changes if your form isn't 1:1 with our judgement before we simply otherwise approve with edits to the form. We hope that this is more accommodating to everyone, and encourages people to participate in prompts more knowing for full certain that you will get your full rewards.
