Rules
A new rule has been added to the Terms of Service:
- not manipulate official pet details (pet image, pet stats, pet breedability, etc.) in pet profiles through CSS or any other means
On the forums we had some fun with modifying the size of pet images, but this also led to the discovery that official pieces of data could be edited too, as well as unapproved images be placed over pet images. This opens up an avenue to cheating (imagine buying a pet with an image containing text showing it's breedable placed over the section saying it's not!), so this sort of activity is now disallowed.
However, when all pet profile capabilities are back up, you can still do fun things like change backgrounds, font colors, etc. and express your creativity through pet pages!

I never knew that was possible! Its a good thing you guys discovered that before people started manipulating it.
As for those other things you're adding, I can't wait! <3

Ahh, too bad. Overlays a la subeta could have been kind of neat. XD

PS people would do that? I think I would explode if someone sold me something they'd lied about on purpose by manipulating the pet profile page's coding.
I had someone lie to me about a dog I bought a while back irl, and it put me out a loooot of money. I think I'd be just as pissed here. Dx

Didn't even know that details could be changed in that way and wouldn't even know how to lol.
Sounds like a really good rule though.. would hate to get a pet I thought was breedable only to find out that it wasn't, that would suck.

No, no one's done it deceptively - but we found out they CAN be deceptive, which is always the start to problems :(

@ #10340
I think the reason pet overlays aren't allowed here is because we already have the ability to make custom pets, whereas there there are only the site colors.
