Recent Pet Spotlight Win

Hello, everyone. You might’ve noticed earlier tonight that the pet that recently won pet spotlight was in bad taste. I’ve deleted that post and will be working with staff on how we are going to handle the pet spotlight win tomorrow due to the fact it’s the middle of the night for most of us on Staff!

We appreciate everyone messaging us on our social media platforms and comments here about how inappropriate this pet win is.

Glad that it was deleted. I think the spotlight queue needs to be better managed to avoid pets like this to make it in.

You're silly.

Who's a little sad we lost all those comments? I was really feeling the love in that Chili's tonight.

I didn't even look at it, I figured it was a memorial pet for all the bad times. Oops.

I literally just logged on for the first time tonight, read the post and then boom, taken down. Fun coincidental timing there

As I was trying to say, as soon as I saw 151 comments I knew something had gone down. That was an... /interesting/ win...

Ah, so that's why my comment didn't go through on the news post. Thank you! I hope whoever approved it in the first place is given a firm warning.

Thank you, and also: Can we have a good, hard look at who's in charge of the spotlight queue? This pet NEVER should have come this far to begin with.

"in bad taste" is quite the understatement, but you know, I appreciate the prompt reaction.

It was in poor taste? I just skimmed it but the ending seemed nice saying we'll get through this.

Thank you so much, bless you and everyone who addressed this. I wouldn't call it bad taste, more like "something that should NEVER be allowed on the site due to its racist and generally tasteless execution and premise", but it's definitely at /least/ bad taste.

Thank you very much for listening to us concerning the previous Pet Spotlight Winner. I hope there will be a thread up later if we wish to give suggestions on how to make picking Pet Spotlight Winners better so nothing like this happens again.
