We've updated our site guides, adjusted the requirements for Sapphire Status and there are a couple of new trophies. I swear, this was not to get me to 60 trophy points so I can finally have silver stars!

• @Impulse updated the requirements for Sapphire Status. We've moved it up to 30 trophy points and 60 days on the forum where it was previously 25 trophy points and 30 days. As the forum grows, we know others will want to purchase Sapphire Status to sell in the Trading Post. However, we want to make sure that only genuine community members have this privilege as we are in no rush to populate our trading section.
• A few new trophies have been added in, two of which are for account age: one for 2 months and one for 3 months. It's just to give new users a couple of easy trophies. The other trophy is one you receive when you're Sapphire Eligible, that way members have a clear indicator of when they can purchase Sapphire Status.
• The site guides have been updated to reflect the adjustments made to Sapphire Eligibility.

We have a lot of updates for everyone today!

• We've updated the terms and rules site guide thread so that it's not just a duplicate of our terms and rules page.
• We've updated the terms and rules as there were some rules that we added it in (such as rule 2.9) that could only be found on the site guide but not the actual terms and rules page.
• We've closed the Trading Post to new submissions from non-Founding members whilst we rework the approval process. Current listings will remain open and Founding members can still submit new listings for the time being.
• The colour of the gold stars has been adjusted as some of you mentioned that it looked too much like the bronze stars. It definitely did, so we made gold stars more yellow and a bit brighter to better distinguish the two.
• Likewise, bronze stars are a little more brown to also better differentiate them from gold stars.
• Because of all of the rules updates, we've pushed out a new terms and service agreement, just so nobody is blindsided by any new rules. A summarisation of the rule changes can be found below:
  • The ban threshold in the terms was changed to be 12. We made this change ages ago, but never updated it in the terms.
  • Our member abuse rules were updated to include excessive, targeted insults across threads.
  • The language rules were adjusted to allow phrases in other languages.
  • Our avatar rules were updated to restrict business avatars to logos and text only. This way, we don't have people circumventing the rules on selling using their avatar.
  • The signature rules were updated to allow ko-fi and similar links.
  • The manual account approval rule was adjusted to mention that we reject accounts that were banned due to scamming on other forums.
  • We've updated rule 2.9 on derailing threads to also include threads in The Saloon. This is just so that there's consistency across the forum rather than one section being made an exception to the forum-wide rules.

We just have a couple of quick updates for everyone today.

• The widgets on the mobile version of the homepage have been fixed, so they now fit to the max width of your screens.
• All of you who are members here have likely noticed we've started using the mass alerts feature for our announcements. This was thanks to a suggestion from @t2van.
