Rules
Since there's some confusion: The sphinx rule tightening actually isn't a very big change.
Pets with dresses and hair are still fine.
Sphinxes with a human face shape but animal ears and a more cat- or animal-like nose are still fine.
You just can't have a 100% human head pasted on an animal body anymore. Most sphinx designs weren't that extreme anyway, but a few of them were pushing it too far and the rules had to be tightened up. This rule won't actually effect that many pets, and those that it will effect will likely be easily edited to fit within the limit (turn human noses into cat noses, etc).
Also, bare human breasts are still not allowed, as anything that would require an [M] in a topic cannot be on a pet. That part of the news post was not well worded, and unfortunately resulted in some confusion. I'd like to set that straight here.
I'm compiling a more thorough followup post that will explain things in more detail and hopefully alleviate most of your fears. To reiterate: This is not a very big change and won't effect that many pets and sphinx-like pets will still be possible--they just won't be as extreme.

When you say naked human breast, do you mean a furless breast or a non-covered human breast? Because my issue with breasts isn't about them being covered or them showing nipples. I mean like pets with actual human breasts, covered with clothes or fur, but human-skin covered breasts are ok, but not noses? Because you state 'naked human breasts are still not allowed', but I've seen several furless-but-covered-with-clothes (to not show nipple) human breasts on pets on Aywas for quite a long time. And those are the breasts I'm talking about when I state the line doesn't seem clearly drawn.
Cause that's where my confusion comes from in the wording. because if we're saying "You can have human breasts on your pet, just don't show the nipple." then saying 'No nose at all" or "no ears at all" seems really... strange? (at least to me)
Sorry if this comes off as rude, but I just don't really get why certain appendages were deemed ok, and certain ones weren't XD

I'm honestly glad about the tightening of the rules. I, personally, dislike the "Sphinx" type pets immensely.
Also, minor grammar quibble, it ought to be "won't affect that many pets" rather than "effect".

And how does this help the people with sphinx PSDs who couldn't fit into the incredibly strict 24-hour deadline?
Also, I thought I'd mention that this still sucks.

Yes, because if you don't like something personally, it should be banned! 8D

Still hoping to see 'taurs addressed; I never cared for sphinxes but 'taurs are lovebabbies.
Also the issues this could cause for monkey-based pets that aren't Simiis; I'm not big on monkeys personally but it seems potentially problematic for those who are so yeah.

@ EssGee, dk about others but I asked about my Taur species and they were said to be ok even after these restrictions.

Thanks for the clarification, Skitty!
