December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Shes so cute <i hate you!!!!!!><L.o.l.>

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Oh wow, the fixed version is beautiful! It's rare that layouts really impress me, but this one made me pause to admire. Very pretty! (: Love the colors!

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

pretty~

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

That's way different from what I last saw! Definitely more deserving this time around, congrats!

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

YAY It's a lovely pet! I am so glad that it's all fixed and better. It's super pretty.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Now that its fixed i love it congratz!

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Aw, man that's lovely well deserved win now all that confusion is cleared up.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Now that it's all fixed, I can honestly say, great pet

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Baw, I knew that there had to be a nice, suiting profile for your pet, I'm sorry that she had to get caught up in all this mess! Now that I can see what's really supposed to be there, I have to agree, it's very nice. The story was well-written, too. Overall a great pet, I hope that everyone will overlook what happened last night. n___n Well deserved, I think!

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Ah, now that it's been fixed, it looks excellent! c: Grats on your win, sorry it came at the wrong time.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Aww that's beautiful 3

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Oh my. Well this is embarrassing TT_TT .Believe. was my coding test pet because she has enough treasure spots to fill a TC box. The code was an old commission that never got finished because I was too busy.

...Fix'd it now. I apologise for the confusion :T Really.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Ummm... confused?

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I was like... "oh man look at how many comments this pet has... must be something wrong with it."

I was right.

...I THOUGHT THE SAME THING LOL

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

As soon as I saw how many comments it had, I knew there would be much drama. It's amazing how many people actually do look at the pet spotlight, when so few actually comment unless it's to complain about something.

Mistakes happen, as far as I'm concerned. It's disappointing that this happened, but I'm not about to baaaw over it. I'm sure staff is aware that this happened and, with any luck, working on it. The site's not perfect and they haven't gotten a flawless way of handling pet spotlight yet -- unsurprising, given how many pets onsite there are, and how many users have really good pet profiles.

The layout is pretty good, though too... JPG-y-looking for my taste. I like the theme of the pet, even if it's the wrong profile haha.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

And still no redraw..?

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I see no hydrus paralix...

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Daski, I think it is totally fair and totally necessary. Every time you change something, someone has to look back over it to make sure it wasn't something bad, or against the rules, or the profile all together. For all they know, you could have been adding nudie pics, or deleting the profile, or something else.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

i dont think that being knocked out of the winner's circle for editing the profile is very fair. I'm constantly adding new things to my profiles, especially Damien_, so i support the SubetaTeam actually looking at the profile before accepting the win.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

No worries, the account was saved and everything is fine. I suppose she had no idea she was gonna win, and put up a commissioned profile and forgot to take it down. I suppose we should all just focus on the story itself of the pet.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I believe I saw somewhere that if you change the TC or minion, it doesn't take the pet out of the queue.

Changing the profile/text should though.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Agreeing on the 'saw 100+ news posts, assumed drama' wagon. So, were they making the profile for someone else and got frozen for a misunderstanding? Or did they steal code from someone else to make the layout? /confused. Either way, it's kinda silly to leave a profile comission up. If I'm using a spotlight nominated pet to code something, I change it back immediately as soon as I'm done, or if I don't finish it in the day, I take it down and put my old one back up just incase.

Sad that they were frozen if it was a misunderstanding though.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

What a mess :/

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

At first I thought the overlay had really pretty monarch butterfly wings but then I realized it was a hyrdus paralix behind it... lol

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Many of the complaints are going right over my head, because I can't see pet lookups normally on my iPod.Quote:

; border: 1px solid ; font-family: georgia; font-size: 10;"> I don't know how often they sift through the queue for current pet profiles in the works and what not. But I do think that if you're doing a test on a finished profile that was already nominated, move the pet page to the 'not ready' status for nomination, period.

Or test it on a different pet!

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Jesus Christ.... someone here dun goofed.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I love how i come and check out the spotlight from being at work all day, see 100+ comments and immediately think, "Wow, there's either a load of drama, or this pet is really fucking good."

I'm disappointed.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I think clearing the queue every so often is a good idea. Stuff like this would be avoided. And it's not hard to mention your pet in, say, your cult, to get it renominated after a clearing.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

This deserves facepalms all around. Well done.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

What an overall confusing mess.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Actually, staff does not need to sift through the nomination queue more often. The queue must consist of thousands of pets by now, with how the whole pet spotlight works (which still got room for improvement in my opinion ). They just need to have a look at the winner BEFORE it is published. Nice profile, anyway. I hope for the pet owner that everything is sorted out soon.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

lol, bang-up job all around, subeta

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

o.o; Geezus.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I was like... "oh man look at how many comments this pet has... must be something wrong with it."

I was right.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

lol, pet spotlight.

Is it sad that as soon as I saw more than 20 comments, I knew it had to be drama?

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I agree-there at least needs to be one staff member who looks at the submissions before they go through and makes sure nothing is stolen or out of place so this sort of thing doesn't happen.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

This wants me to disable Lashers Nominating Link right away :/ What a mess. I'm really sorry for this user to be frozen because of something that is not her fault at all. I mean, you need the nomination link on a profile you are changing to position it. My Profile Pet was also nominated, but he was kicked out. There should really be some changes made or at least a little more attention paying.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I think it's a bit unfair if she was frozen for having a profile she was making. :/ but I don't know the whole situation, I suppose.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

From my understanding, you can still edit if you're still in the queue BEFORE you're in the winner's queue. So if you were to edit after you're put into the winner's queue, you get bumped back into the preliminary queue.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Do they... not look at the profiles? At all? What?

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I agree with you about that a total clearing of it would help I think.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Klassikal that's a really cool feature, how does one use the cache? Comment me

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Also FYI, we aren't supposed to be discussing frozen users.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Google's cache of the profile shows the same layout all the way back to December 10, 2010 LINK

Sooo how did it get nominated, and accepted looking like that?

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

people can be frozen for other rule breakings like using foreign languages where you're not supposed to, or other totally unrelated things.

I was going to say though, that some people are talking about a potential clearing of the queue is the end of the world. I think it is a good idea.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I don't get why Jez entered the pet in the contest with that profile, unless she edited the profile AFTER she was entered, in which case wouldn't the entry be revoked? But still, the profile was being made by Jez for The Kid's owner with the artwork by Oatmeal at The Kid's owner's request, so she needs to be unfrozen because she was not guilty of art/code theft.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Just to clarify, the user was frozen after the win the awarded.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Regardless, maybe nomination queues should be removed when the user is frozen, like they're removed when pets are transferred.
