they fall under pictures youve taken yourself, so PI
there is a pretty thorough section about this somewhere in the community guidelines i think

Hmm odd

I posted a picture of an error message to @/Awesome_E and he was ok

PI involves posing pictures of building, houses, rooms, etc
Your not allowed to post a picture of yourself but their is nothing about a picture of a

  • carpet
  • white wall
  • or a desk

as those fall under the general sections
those are unidentifiable since a carpet could take place anywhere

@Ana told me that in a pm
And those rules have not been altered


the rules state as long as its not a picture of

its allowed

and a photo of a 3ds against carpet shouldn’t count as your house

oh, i think i get it. im assuming that pictures of artwork in the dht doesnt count since i and many others post that.

(this should probably be moved to leaders qna)

sometimes we’ll make exceptions for things that need that (like error messages) but for unnecessary things we havent requested like that, no you cannot post pics youve taken

the things you listed are pi but those are just a few of the most obvious examples. this is just below that; last subbullet point

This can be done

Can’t change this until April 2023 (last change: April 2022, eyJ → Gynn)

This should be doable

This is doable

will do this right now


Since I can’t change the tag name right now, would you like the rest of the changes still?

Within context and prior approval before posting is it allowed?

Yeah for some reason it just disappeared, should be better now

i can bring it up but the answer is probably gonna be a no still –

the issue with exceptions is that not everyone knows theyre exceptions and people (especially young kids like the forum’s audience) can make mistakes. normally thatd be fine but never within a safety context. its why we dont allow any face pictures besides suuuuper wellknown celebs; we cannot afford to have anyone make a mistake like posting their own face.
it might be okay with everything neatly cropped and such but what happens when someone --especially say a 7/8/9 year old-- forgets to do that? what if there’s something revealed?

thats not a gamble we can or will take unless necessary; and the same blanket principle applies to all pi/cof/safety guidelines

Can you close this topic please

wait can people just close up shops like that? I have roadcoins still (many other people do also) so you should make it so no one can buy roadcoins and tell everyone they have 2 weeks to use them. It’s not right to just let people earn and buy coins if you close it down.

you cant buy them if the shop is closed and while it world be extra great to have that time buffer before closing, the reason the shop’s getting closed is because he cant offer those commissions anymore

11 Likes

Yes, but what if you already had them? In this case I entered a competition for them but what if someone bought them and now the shop is closed so they can’t use them

4 Likes

that’s something you’d have to work out with the owner – we have no part in any transactions that happen in shops

i can definitely bring it up if youd like, altho i dont know how much we can do

Ok, I would like it to bring it up somewhere because I don’t want other people spending seeds just to get scammed because that would be really bad

4 Likes

I don’t think they were intentionally scammed.

Maybe if he decides to open it back up they still have their coins
