Hey guys, giving you all another update in which a few misconceptions regarding aspects of breeding will be clarified so that everyone is on the same page. Some of these have been issues that popped up lately and I don't want people to get wrong information from somewhere.
- In regards to user-submitted offspring, whereas we do use them pretty much consistently for all pairings that have edits to them, if you are submitting your own offspring for two same-lineart pets, or for two site-pets in a pair, please be aware that your possibilities may not always be used for the breeding. Sometimes Slash will pick up breedings that are simple and only require overlays or filters to create. For those that don't like this method, please remember that this is originally how baby-making was done for two identical-lined pets when the site first began. We have improved the system on how artists make offspring for any pairs that have edits, but we are not required to use any user-submitted babies. It simply aids in making the process easier, and we do try to use the majority submitted.
- In regards to asking others to make your user-submitted offspring, you may not, under any circumstances, ask for payment for this service (or offer it out) in BP, GP, items, or otherwise, publicly on the forums.
- In regards to engagement rings, I want to state that engagement rings were meant to ensure that you get an extra offspring. Some users have the misconception that each time you breed two married pets that you automatically will get 3+ babies from it. For LBC breedings and hybrid breedings alike, it ensures that you will always get at least two -- you may not always get three or more! Remember that the minimum number for all breedings is one offspring, so all the engagement ring does is guarantee that you will get at least two.
Thanks everyone! I hope this was clear and concise in explanation.

The post specifically says "publicly on the forums" though, so why aren't "gifts" allowed for people that do predicts? The official artists are great for some, but I've seen some pets go through there, and they honestly look rushed. If I could "gift" someone to predicts that looked nice, I'd really rather do that.. 25 GP for a LBC (let alone a BC) is a lot to get babies that aren't the quality that you were expecting. (I knwo some of you have no problem getting GP or have oodles of cash to donate for it, but from the other side, having to scrape up for customs and coins..) I'm sorry if I sound a bit on the rude side; I don't mean to honestly, but I don't really know how to ask that any nicer :X But it's something that's really been on my mind for awhile honestly, and I'm awfully horrible when it comes to wording things like this.
Don't eat me please ;_;

Gifts aren't allowed because it's the same thing as payment.

I think that everyone on this site should be allowed to create one custom for free. i know that the site needs the money for it's running, but if everyone were to get a free breeding coin, then people might like it and decide to spend more money on buying another custom. plus people wouldn't be paying other people to make customs for them. Just a suggestion.
P.S. if you choose to give everyone a breeding coin, don't just make it a lesser one. Make it so that people can make a hybrid in any color that they want. i know i might buy another custom if i thought it was worth it. it's not like it costs anything to send someone a coin ether. thanks for listening.
