Since the mod team is stretched so thin and some of them have been less active do to real life responsibilities, would it be possible to hire a few more mods whose sole job would be to monitor runway and runway forums? Between voting issues in runway, issues with the stamp card, and issues with spam in the forums it really needs a little more attention than it is currently receiving.


Hi there,

Thanks for the heads up. We can look into getting some more eyes on this A.S.A.P.

Connection to photobucket does not work when trying to submit art in the Art Arenas. Will this be fixed or is that the end of posting art?


We're gonna switch to Imgur pretty soon.

Features: Runway

I was told over a month ago that more attention and moderation would be added to runway ASAP but that has yet to happen. Is this still a priority? Keeping up with forum spam, off theme entries, and unethical voting methods is a lot of work for the 1-2 mods that currently watch over Runway. With that said, on days that they are working on things IRL or on other parts of the site things tend to go overlooked and do not get taken care of in a timely manner. This is in no way the fault of the mods, but more attention is still needed for the feature and forum.

Yeah, I definitely hear you on Runway and the need for help with it. Right now our mod team is really small and the support team in general is small so we haven't been able to give it as much attention as we want, but it is on our list of things to keep an constant eye on so while we don't have an immediate plan of action, we'll try to do a better job of trying to maintain the integrity of that feature.

I'm just curious, is there a reason why only one of my mules has to use the captcha? I do three accounts everyday on Chrome, but only the second one (and interestingly the only one to use plat) has me use the captcha. Are plat users more likely to get the captcha to prevent abuse?


Captcha is triggered by a lack of activity, especially activity in the forums, so that might have something to do with it.

For the Runway dailies stamp card, would it possible to have the stamp card reset immediately if the user misses a day to vote in the runway instead of waiting any number of days to have it reset?

We can look into it.

Features: Runway

I know that asking for Runway votes outside if the Chatterbox subforum has been made against the rules. Would it be possible to make it against the rules to ask in Chatterbox or ask your friends for votes?

It seems that runway is becoming more and more a popularity contest of the user and not the entry being voted for.

You know, I can't recall why we made the rule that you can ask for votes in Chatterbox when the intention is you vote on the avatar, not the person. We'll confer with the team and adjust if necessary.

because it's chatterbox.

the bigger worry isn't people asking others to vote, it's bots. when even the most offtopic avis have hundreds of votes, you know you have a votebot issue.

Well the intent behind Runway is that you vote on the avatar and not the person, so having a rule that says, "You can't solicit votes. You can solicit votes in this one area." seems nonsensical. There is a reason why we implemented the rule the way that we did, and the admin team ultimately approved it, but I can't recall that reason outside of potentially, "They can solicit votes, it doesn't necessarily mean that someone will vote for them."

In either case, it's something we'll review along with the rest of Runway. I know we haven't been able to show it much support so we'll try to do better with that to make things more fair for everyone.

Can you do a small change to "Runway::Museum" to include the theme and prompt?

For example:
This page: http://www.gaiaonline.com/runway/museum/?runway=4918

is linking to the museum of
"THEME: Boredom in candyland
Show us an avatar dressed in monochrome surrounded by a colorful world."

thought it's nowhere to be seen on that page in particular.

We can add this to our to do list.

Any update on the chatterbox vote solicitation? Last week I was told that it would be talked over to see if it should be revised and I'm just curious on the current status of that. 3nodding

We haven't had a chance to discuss it yet, but it is on our list of things to talk about.

Any updates on the CB voting rule? Or on getting more mods on the team for runway?

No update at the moment, but one of the things we want to accomplish for the first quarter of 2018 is hammering out a lot of these backlogged and planned policies, such as the CB voting rule.

As for more mods for Runway, not at the moment but we also are looking at expanding our moderator team this year which will naturally include getting more moderators on top of Runway.

So, I've noticed that the Avatar Arenas are currently broken. Are there any plans to fix and potentially update all that? I'm just sayin', Avatar Arenas are one of the oldest features on Gaia and haven't received an update in many, many, many years.

The avatar arenas will be fixed very soon. There might be a new arenas in the future, but that project still have a lot more work to be done.

Option to favorite avatars seen in Runway?? Please cool


Oh yes, was going to add that feature. Will add that to the todo list.

Just fixed the captcha by the way. Hope it works fine now.

Can we get a click button for runway on the games page?

the only location I've been able to find it in the drop tab, but sometimes it doesn't work well on my mobile. Not a huge priority, but would be awesome. thanks.

Can do. We'll ask for a Runway button for the games page.

When are the avatar arenas supposed to be fixed?? I can't access the original or cosplay. (Says "empty arena" )

Has there been any more consideration on the CB vote begging rule for runway? Last time I talked to Zero abut it I was told that they are considering removing the exception and would be voting on it soon.

We haven't had a chance to formally change things up yet, but it's still on our list.

Is there any news about the infinite loading circles that the runway captcha causes while voting? I'm aware that it should be getting looked at already, and any information regarding it can help keep things a little more calm.

We'll look into the captcha issue next week.

Is this a legit link to use? or an exploit?
https://www.gaiaonline.com/runway/dailyrewards/

apparently it was used when stamps weren't being granted at the runway a while back and has resurfaced

Daily Rewards is the link for the popup window, it's legit.

Any plans on updating the art arena? since it is a bit outdated and a bit wonky to use at time.

We'll be doing some bug fixing later. No plans for an update as we have a lot of stuff to work on for the time being.

Hey guys! I was wondering if it was possible to put a "favorite" button in the runway museums. A lot of people I've noticed don't equip the entry on the day of the contest, and there are SO MANY beautiful creative entries in the museums

Thank you for your time emotion_bigheart


I'll look into adding the button. heart
