Crystal Check:
Crystal Check is working on the staff end, and we're back on track with the listings that accumulated while we were unable to access the checks!
I'd also like to take the opportunity to remind people that if you get your design checked, please link it in the Notes section - this guarantees your design will be processed faster as it will not need to be re-checked, and helps the queues as a whole move forward at a better rate.
"Grandfathering":
After extensive deliberations amongst staff, it has been decided that we need to change the grandfathering system. This has been hugely debated across two administrations now, and there are a lot of factors to finally pushing forward with this change, including the unreliability of the old forum threads (due to long deleted images, and unclear listings) and the recent changes in modifiers which has lowered the percentage of several design sets.
It has been decided that we will honour old checks by Graymare that originate from the Crystal Check feature, only. Please note that designs I have already accepted during my administration, which were grandfathered, are on record and will still be honoured if a new crystal check is not linked in the Note section - however any that have not gone through myself, or crystal check, will not be.
If you can provide a thread-based check from Skitty, where the image is intact and the response is a clear decision, then I will still be accepting those until July 7th. Please note that at this time we are only accepting them if they are from Skitty, and not one of the helpers. I apologise for this further inconvenience.
We know that this will be distressing to some users as they still have designs or PSDs that are several years old, but as grandfathered sets are an extremely rare occurrence when running the queues I am hoping it won't affect too many people.
Baby Linearts:
For a very long time people have been wanting to see the "original four" hybrids allow edits. After talks we decided there's nothing stopping that - so we will be retiring the Pacifier, and adding the Quetzal, Kyre, Paleo and Griffin to the Baby Bottle trio!
Those of you with Pacifiers, don't despair - in the Annoying Item Bazaar you can trade in your Pacifier for a Metal Baby Bottle, giving you the option to keep it as a collectable, or still make that adorable custom you always wanted!

Azi (#6879) I feel the same way - I finally had money to get the oldest of mine colored and created and they all came back rejected. So I STILL cannot get them made.

While I don't think I have any PSDs that old, I do assume that you can get them re-checked before making them so that they can still be made / pass, is that correct?
