Figured I'd make a thread just for it, see how it goes.
some people on this site use the word “clique” to refer to what others might describe as “having friends”
i feel like i constantly see complaints of discord servers for “cliquey behavior” when theres no intentional exclusion or gossip going on. just people being friends and sharing jokes. leaving any server where people make friends is a self fulfilling prophecy dude!!! join in some conversations!!! youll become a “regular” eventually. its scary but its worth it. feels like the attitude is rooted in social anxiety which is understandable but you cant make that other peoples problem by bitching about it publicly.
so many fr servers nowadays are revolving doors of people who just post for a bit and leave. no room to talk about anything other than fr or make new connections. it feels so stale. bring back cliquey

I am part of a FR Facebook group and sometimes, people post about being banned.
It always intrigues me how they dodge the reason in comments, mostly saying "my brother and sister play but they haven't logged in for days/months/years" with dozens of comments either confirming or denying that is bannable.
Sometimes, rarely, the ban was wrong or unjust and trigger happy staff just blanket banned without investigating properly and very very rarely is the ban overturned.
In some ways I feel a little pity for the genuine mistakes and nothing for those who claim they are not a multi-- then again, we see plenty on here, report them and nothing happens *cough*MiaShuji*cough* and yet these seemingly innocent people are so upset that they got banned and most of the time, after some digging they had done something shady.
I do wonder where staff draws that line and if they even when given evidence which some players have done, simply say..no. But are letting blatent multi's and RTC happen without batting an eyelid. It's just so bizarre to me.
Opinions?

Disclaimer: I don't know how to use and have not used AI generator tools before
Is there a way to feed* all the FR items into a generator and play around with making new FR items that way FOR FUN PERSONAL USE ONLY?
*manually, not scraping the site with a bot or whatever that could hurt the site

Does anyone have a script that adds arrows to the predict morphology page? So I can just click the arrows to cycle through the options instead of click the drop down menu and find where I was every time.
The oof tiered badges this week are in the exact same style as ice's blanket fort/pixel cats end, is it a homage or did someone just blatantly rip them off?
i know the mods locked the ai thread for a reason but im going to correct misinformation when i see it. online generative ai models dont generally train on the images people “feed in” to them as prompts. youre not going to make it “steal from” flight rising by putting fr images in it.
the training data is already in the model. it would be wildly expensive and completely unnecessary to retrain the an online model based on the images people prompt it with. its a tiny sample compared to the scraping of the entire internet these companies have already done. chances are its already used flight rising images as training data, even. the models already exist, you can download them onto your computer and theyll work the same. prompting generative ai doesnt “feed” it. its not cleverbot.
dont start an argument in these replies. the mods locked the original thread for a reason. they will probably lock this comment to. its just important to me to correct online misinformation

okay, calling all observing anons, since the site salt is low today I'm trying to piece together this guy's narrative. let me know if this adds up:
- anon comments for the first time in this thread here:
https://anonrerising.dreamwidth.org/6444.html?thread=7216172#cmt7216172
- OP gently and politely corrects them here:
https://anonrerising.dreamwidth.org/6444.html?thread=7218732#cmt7218732
- anon says that this anon is in fact comm moderator 'mindlessflight' who accused them of being dakk 2 months ago; anon's evidence is because OP used the word nuance when replying to them. this is apparently proof that OP knows their IP address, because nuance cannot exist outside of interacting with this specific anon. they also say this is a callback to when they were accused of being an abuser (???) (I could not find any context for that at all.)
https://anonrerising.dreamwidth.org/6444.html?thread=7220524#cmt7220524
additional commentary and interpretation welcome. I'm fascinated by whoever the fuck anon beemovescript is

This is only a cautionary post that many people might not think about.
If you plan on creating cutesy hatchling accents with human baby items please be careful naming the accent. It can be very easy to mistake your innocent art for fetish content if you unknowingly give it a name that contains words commonly found in the DDLG community. Being cautious will prevent any false reports from well meaning individuals.
That's all.

Still keeping comments screened for a bit, but will be unscreening them in a more timely manner!
Do FR servers you're in have vent channels and how is it managed? My flight has one, but it's becoming a little too personal of a space, but we don't really have active mods atm to keep an eye on the negativity and how it's used... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Idk. I'm of the opinion shared game servers of strangers don't need dedicated vent channels. But just wanted to know if that's the norm across flights lol
it's insane how many dodges I've gotten in coli this past week
Can someone explain why you can't make 13+ rated zombie themed skins for hatchlings?
I'm so so glad that they are cracking down on the threat of hatchling skins incorporating pedophilia or child **** themes. But the rule about zombie dragons didn't really make much sense when this is a pg-rated site.

I know Staff has their reasons for limiting the hatchling festival winners to only 2 artists, but considering their history of choosing repeat winners every month I don't think that this is a good idea. It's only going to make the community lash out at them more if they pick the same artist when they have such a severly limited pool of winners. Especially considering this is something people have asked them to release for years and are so excited to finally get. They should really raise the number of winners.
New:
Hatchling skins have additional rules that should be followed when creating skins for baby dragons:
Designs should not adultify the hatchling.
This rule is specific to skin and accent visual depictions and design names/titles as skins and accents are official site items once approved.
This rule includes but is not limited to: thigh-high stockings, harnesses, garters, excessively short skirts/shorts, undergarments, depictions of historically fetishized clothing, depictions that communicate or imply inappropriate age-related tropes, design names or titles that when combined with the design communicate inappropriate age-related tropes, or otherwise try to communicate or imply the imaged hatchling is a sexually mature dragon.
If a design and/or title/name is determined to be depicting fetish or otherwise inappropriate art, using claims such as "fashion" in appeal will not be accepted as a way to bypass this rule.
Please note: Limiting what clothing can be depicted on hatchlings is not intended as an implication that some clothing is "inherently sexual" in nature or to validate any form of victim-blaming. When it comes to the site-approved depiction of minors, we must apply broader rules to combat those acting in bad faith or otherwise seeking to inflict harm.
Designs should not place the implication of violent wounds on the hatchling.
The same rules regarding wounds as adult dragons are applied with the following additions: No exposed bones and no gore outside the limits of official Flight Rising genes and eye types.
In addition, scars on hatchlings will be scrutinized to a greater degree than those on adult dragons for implied violence and/or abuse.
Please note: Prosthetics, mobility aids, and disability aids do not violate this rule.
Designs should not zombify the hatchling.
Designs and their titles/names should adhere to these rules without additional context.
"Skinned Hatchling" and similar may be okay as social media or forum-based meta jokes, they're not okay as actual design names or titles.
These rules and guidelines are subject to change based on the content submitted to the Skin and Accent moderation team for approval.
Old:
Designs should not adultify the hatchling.
-This includes but is not limited to thigh-high stockings, Lolita-inspired apparel, and content that otherwise communicates visually or through the title/name that the hatchling is an adult in a child's body, etc.
Designs should not place wounds on the hatchling.
-You can have a battle baby dragon, but not a wounded or scarred battle baby dragon.
Designs should not zombify the hatchling.
-You can have a zombie hunter baby dragon, but not a zombie baby dragon.
Designs and their titles/names should be able to pass muster out of context.

I know this is a tired subject but it baffles me to no end still how controversial it is on the very same site where the community will throw a fit if you don't agree with their sacred "your dragon your rules" policy.
It's already annoying enough when someone complains about a dragon they sold themselves getting flipped, but when players admit to outright stalking others and their dragon sales just to point out that they're flipping as if that's wrong somehow is disturbing. And I'm talking about legitimate dragon purchases, not players who scam newbies, or players who exploit free dragons threads, in case that needs to be clarified.
I don't get it. "Your dragon your rules" is all well and good until someone decides they want to try and profit off of a dragon they acquired fair and square. Why is it such an issue for so many players still?

What flights have a more adult community like Earth? I like Earth's community but I've been thinking of switching for a good while now and I'd like a flight that has that same sort of vibe. I've heard Lightning might be a candidate? Just not particularly big on their aesthetic. Dig Fire's aesthetic but I've also heard they don't really have much of a community? And zero dom presence whatsoever
