Can we have a ticket for making tribute items? Since not everyone gets a tribute item I think it would be cool to let other Gaian's design tribute items that could be sold in the cash shop. In reality it's not any different than buying celeb memorabilia of Elvis, Marilyn Monroe, or some other influential person that's passed away from a catalog or store. If there is a market for that stuff in the real world it only makes sense that there would be a market for it here. I know I would buy these items.
And to those that wouldn't like it they don't have to buy it.

A Mini or Baby Golden Ticket would be good for this purpose and is available in the Cash Shop currently.

In the avatar arena forum and avatar arenas feature some people are being abusive with their comments and they try to say that they aren't being rude or being a bully because they are giving out "constructive criticism". There are ways to give out criticism without being a troll, since it's becoming an issue there has been a thread made to raise some awareness about it X. Do you think you could give out a PSA or something to help stop all the bullying that's been going on?

Sure, we can certainly look into doing a PSA for general abuse.

When I went to search for some dusk/dusky rose items in the MP, the "dusky" or "dusk" rose tags had been removed on some items items; they were re-tagged as dark rose. Any artists have an explanation as to why? :c

Thank you for the response! These are the items that have either lost the "dusky" "dusk" or have been changed to dark rose:
I've not noticed it on the others, but those were the ones in particular.

Ever since you guys stated that you changed the reward drops on Fafnir's Peak, we noticed that in the new kin's level rewards (From Purrstachio to Chimpette) have the same RIGs as Fafnir's Peak.
The community are not happy about this. We were expecting the RIGs to have the same theme as the kins (example: Eastern theme RIGs for fox kins.) Why are we receiving the same RIGs when leveling up our kins from the Fafnir's Peak reward drops?

There will be varying rewards in kin, some will not always have themes related to them.
There is no real answer to this, other than we chose those as rewards.

My trade/sell/buy/Gift features are still locked out. Is there any update on these as to what happened, or when it will unlock? ticket was filed, and all I heard back was "Need to remove and will fix asap" with some details removed from this comment... but that was over a day and a half ago... and still nothing. Can someone please tell me if it was because someone bought something from me, that I am locked out, and if so, why? Can you unlock my Trading pass, so I can go back to selling the RIG items I get from Fafnir, please?

If I were to say, submit a golden ticket or a rainbow ticket, and went ahead and made the items themselves before submitting (IE: Rainbow ticket. I recolor Dante's Divine Verdict to be deep black and bright gold, and actually take every single pose from the item and recolor it pixel by pixel beforehand, sending the .psds and the .pngs of each pose), what would happen?
Would the artists find it insulting? Would it lead to the artists working on their own version anyway? Or would it just shorten the process up considerably and have no real possible bearing on the artist who gets the item?
I'm just curious as to how that would work. and if it's possible to have cheap rainbow tickets for gold shop items

Unfortunately this is not possible.
There is a very specific process to recoloring and creating an item, and our artists.
You...you mean recoloring items isn't as simple as working out the color scheme, then just recoloring it like someone does with pokemon sprites/throw a color filter on it and start editing values?
Apologies if this is starting to get close to sensitive information. I'm interested in potentially trying my hand at making mock-ups in case I ever want to become an artist in the near-future, and just am very curious if there's a specific thing that needs to be done for recoloring, or if it's as simple as it seems.
You can do that yes, but the files are set up in a very specific way and we would not be giving them over to anyone who asks.
You can of course turn in mocks of recolors, but you would likely not be recoloring the entire file.
If anyone ever becomes an artist here they are trained in the specific way that we pixel and recolor.

So I have a question about item's, well some types of items... Gaia is suppose to be a PG 13 site, but with seeing friends around me just disappear without any warnings sent to them. Why is it that Gaia Online has items that have Sexual/Explicit items??? when Gaia is a PG 13 site? Why make Items people can not use in their own way without being told they can't dress like that or they can't make a comment on if someone else looks sexy to them ? I don't see why people can't do what they want, and why can't the mother and father of the children on here can not look after their child? When you watch a PG 13, some of them so have Sexual/Explicit things, Example Disney Channel, Nick, and Cartoon Network, and many other TV shows for PG 13 or Channels for children.
So the main question, I am asking is why do the have items that are Sexual/Explicit, if we the people of Gaia can not use them how we want or get perma Ban for making comments in post that may or may not be Sexual/Explicit???
Well the first thing I want to address is that Gaia Online is not a PG-13 website. PG, G, P-13, R, etc are all ratings used by the MPAA for films, not for websites. Saying Gaia is a PG-13 website is outdated terminology that no longer applies. Simply put, we are a general audience website that is for use by people as young as 13.
Now we do have items that are risque, certainly, however, risque does not mean sexually explicit. You can be sexy and risque without being sexually explicit, we don't mind that. However, when you purposely create an avatar to suggest or imply any sort of sexually explicit behavior is where you cross the line from being simply sexy, to being an actual violation. We've made this distinction pretty clear in the past, that's why we allow these risque items to exist. On their own, they do not do anything sexually explicit.
Item Examples:
Brains Items` ( The Censor Bar), Godina's, Embarrassed Dream, The Items that go over your bit's ( fallen wish , squirrel, and more like them), The item(s) Graveyard Crasher and more items that are like that show you nude, and Bondage Items like a harness ( wicked master's reclaim).
~But yet these items are here but we may not use them how we feel like we can, I am confused when you say that " they do not do anything sexually explicit." But yet they do. Am I wrong ?

Being nude is not sexually explicit. Having your avatar covered up with risque clothing is not the same as equipping items that imply something sexual is being done to your avatar.

We normally send out a private message when we disable your trades, unfortunately due to the sheer number of disables we had at this time (a little over 150) and the time at which it had to be done we didn't have the time to sent out these private messages. Sorry for the confusion and know that we are working diligently to get trading passes back by tomorrow.

Hello! I'm not sure if this has been asked yet, but I have an issue with the tier reward items. I posted a thread in the assistance forum, as well.
Basically, the announcement said I'd get a Bundle Bonanza II for spending 99GC, however I got two totally unrelated items. I went to check the tier rewards after getting my item, and I saw that the 99GC rewards were different. I don't think it's fair that you advertised one item and gave out another. I know many people don't check the actual tier rewards page before spending for the tier since hey, we don't really expect the advertised rewards on the announcement to suddenly switch up to different items.
Basically, is there any way to get the item on the announcements page instead?

Sorry about the inconvenience! This was definitely a graphical issue. The rewards are the Fashion Affair and Hotdog Eating Contest, we'll be fixing the image on the announcement page.

Staff, I sent Zero a message about this, but the kins that are being listed in the MP are still showing up in the game, which means I wasted about 30 potions trying to level up a kin, for it to be in MP. When I try to cancel the MP listing, it says "Error," This just started happening, could you please fix this?
