There was one part where it stated that the skin rules/guide was nearly a decade old and damn 💀 to think of it, it’s kinda wack they kept those rules for as long as I’ve been playing it without any/much update, and skin makers have really advanced past it (hell, nearly no one makes full skins anymore and the image guide could use a modern update from an active player or something).
Really hope that staff takes the thread into consideration and at least be clear what can and cannot be approved.
If you're referring to the lava lamp skin, the cross section including bone is not present in capsule. Personally find the bone cross section very gross and cringey (in the literal sense) so I can understand.
this one’s also a sort of AYRT to the reply below you as well,
but yeah the lava lamp one is understandable because of the spinal section thingy, but from a general standpoint it’s /really petty/ that a hole where the lava comes out from is considered suffering… maybe a suggestion would be to make it glow like a proper lamp but that’s also a reason for staff to just reject it, because you’re bringing attention to it. Anyone seeing capsule wouldn’t think of the complicated reason staff gave, they’d think “oh cool the dragon’s insides are all liquid now” which is sort of… more terrifying.
I dunno, context is important? Sometimes it feels that mods completely ignore the context of the skin just to follow the absolute letter of the rules (that are also unwritten at times). I can’t agree on that at all and mods should defo have the capacity to know what’s clearly suffering and what’s not. I think I’m rambling but yeah
