Sorry but notes don't help, I avoid locked items completely ([sup]unless they're on my friend list[/sup]). That note could be specifically meant for people who aren't me.

(Imagine It's a trap meme here) There are also some people who are mean enough to deliberately put that offer in there just so they can say a snooty no to random users.

Wow, I'm glad I haven't encountered anyone that rude. I'm sorry that you have. :/

You know, i notice you put so much time, energy, art , and effort to get this community to be noticed for what it needs, yet i feel like you are as unhappy as most of us with the lack of attention to our ideas from staff.. ? Why are our voices not really heard by staff.... We NEED rules set in stone by them so that there arent any right and wrongs assigned by everyone else.

I think there is passion with anything that you invest your time, and money into... so cws are a passionate thing and i see it, there is no way for most of us not to get our feelings involved into these pixels because so much goes behind it. I think thats why i value cws in general because of the amount of effort and cash that it takes to get it on site & then how difficult these pieces of art can become to get. & what got me the most upset the last few weeks was how i am treated sometimes... i dont want to come on here to play a game where im treated poorly , judged, or ignored. & then to see that it happens to other people makes me feel like its not just me.

Subeta you need to listen because many of us spend lottsssss of money on here and many of those users that are a bit fed up with the crickets from the staff will eventually...slowly...leave and find somewhere else to spend there money. Im one of those.

Well, I definitely won't say staff has never shown interest or tried to make positive changes, because they definitely have! I am so grateful for the changes to the submission process and CW shops, especially, in the last few years, and does pop into most conversations to say they are taking notice. I think staff is listening most of the time, which is nice.

But unfortunately, CWs are a pretty self-contained machine so I think the whole system is left to run on "autopilot" most of the time while the staff focuses on other things. I know that there aren't many people working for subeta and they have to prioritize time and effort, but I do hope that eventually, we'll see some more involvement and engagement toward making CWs better for everyone. :) As a person that's not SUPER into pets or battling, the wardrobe and CWs are the most fun part of the site. I think more people could get excited about them if some more outreach were made on the staffs' part! :)

Obviously I am sorry you've had some negative interactions over the last few weeks! I hope you can forgive and forget and have some nicer interactions from here on out. I honestly almost never witness any drama, so I get concerned and confused when people like you and report such negative behavior. I hope we can all change that somehow!

Totally agree on a lot of things in this thread here, the CW rules has to be rewritten, or at least have some site artists look into them and fix the bits that are outdated (for example the rules on lines on cws), right now it can be confusing for all the cw creators cuz site wearables and cws follow two different set of rules, I hope we can have one set of rules that applies to all to reduce confusion( of course we can still have some restrictions on cws such as no eyes, nose and mouths).

This thread needs admin notice, I see a lot of hours invented on ideas but so far it’s like throwing stones in a well..

This is an excellent thread! I love all the ideas in the first post so much! It's a great thing we have such an awesome community to get together and think tank like this. Honestly, one persona lone could never have come up with all these creative ideas! I am in awe of all the amazingly cool ideas presented here!

Just here to pop this suggestion down from my post ^^

Id love to see a little disclaimer on the Submit a CW Page that CSC will not be charged until you complete the next step? Tbh I think a step by step guide on how to actually submit would really benefit the new people wanting to join the community. Going from the submission process to how to use the CW shop, showing the process for dts and the difference between that and batches. Theres a lot of things that dont have official guides that need it, especially for the new people that get way too overwhelmed with the lack of information and trying to figure it out on their own.

I'm so sorry for dropping the ball on this, but I've added your suggestion to the first post! Also very much hoping for a user-friendly guide on the submission process.

The suggested idea for Custom Wearable Vouchers has been implemented! 🎉 The first post has been updated to reflect that.

not quite a necro but i feel so awkward posting on an inactive thread like this lol

anyways, my suggestions are to add the approval date to the CW directory, and a way to search for items approved between x & y dates, and a dropdown quick menu for items approved in the last 30 days.

I'll add your suggestions to the first post! Thank you. :) I could see it being useful for users that aren't online frequently or who go on hiatus and come back. Just curious, what's your reasoning?

[User=colorful] has a newsletter style ping group where she posts all of the new CWs for a given time period. She's on hiatus right now but if she ever decided to stop posting it forever, that type of info would be a lot harder to track down. edit: it could also be useful in determining the names of CWs if you know approx when they were released and what the look like, but not any part of their name.

I'm a little tired so I apologize if this is already in the first post, but if it's not I think there should be a 'search by price' option available on this page: LINK with possibly even a 'max' amount. (EX; "Anything under X value" and it shows you all those currently available cws???) I think this could be really valuable for people who don't have a lot of csc and want to see what ALL is available to them at any given time :) (I think it can be intimidating to see a bunch of priced CW on that page that are 400+, so being able to type in how much you have may give people an idea of what is more accessible. I think people KNOW there are some cheap CWs out there, but they're so scattered it's hard to find them!)

[edit] I spent a tedious morning reorganizing my shop categories by price. I hope it'll be helpful to people who are new to the community or just more casual participants. :) It also kind of lets me know what my usual price category is (most of my items are priced at 350 csc) and I'm pretty happy with that knowledge. I don't think 350 is too crazy. :)

Ooh search/filter by price would be great! It's something I've wished for with sp shops, but I think with CW shops it would be a little easier to implement. Adding to the first post!
