Baw, I knew that there had to be a nice, suiting profile for your pet, I'm sorry that she had to get caught up in all this mess! Now that I can see what's really supposed to be there, I have to agree, it's very nice. The story was well-written, too. Overall a great pet, I hope that everyone will overlook what happened last night. n___n Well deserved, I think!

Oh my. Well this is embarrassing TT_TT .Believe. was my coding test pet because she has enough treasure spots to fill a TC box. The code was an old commission that never got finished because I was too busy.
...Fix'd it now. I apologise for the confusion :T Really.

As soon as I saw how many comments it had, I knew there would be much drama. It's amazing how many people actually do look at the pet spotlight, when so few actually comment unless it's to complain about something.
Mistakes happen, as far as I'm concerned. It's disappointing that this happened, but I'm not about to baaaw over it. I'm sure staff is aware that this happened and, with any luck, working on it. The site's not perfect and they haven't gotten a flawless way of handling pet spotlight yet -- unsurprising, given how many pets onsite there are, and how many users have really good pet profiles.
The layout is pretty good, though too... JPG-y-looking for my taste. I like the theme of the pet, even if it's the wrong profile haha.

Daski, I think it is totally fair and totally necessary. Every time you change something, someone has to look back over it to make sure it wasn't something bad, or against the rules, or the profile all together. For all they know, you could have been adding nudie pics, or deleting the profile, or something else.

i dont think that being knocked out of the winner's circle for editing the profile is very fair. I'm constantly adding new things to my profiles, especially Damien_, so i support the SubetaTeam actually looking at the profile before accepting the win.

No worries, the account was saved and everything is fine. I suppose she had no idea she was gonna win, and put up a commissioned profile and forgot to take it down. I suppose we should all just focus on the story itself of the pet.

Agreeing on the 'saw 100+ news posts, assumed drama' wagon.
So, were they making the profile for someone else and got frozen for a misunderstanding? Or did they steal code from someone else to make the layout? /confused.
Either way, it's kinda silly to leave a profile comission up. If I'm using a spotlight nominated pet to code something, I change it back immediately as soon as I'm done, or if I don't finish it in the day, I take it down and put my old one back up just incase.
Sad that they were frozen if it was a misunderstanding though.

Many of the complaints are going right over my head, because I can't see pet lookups normally on my iPod.<b>Quote:</b><blockquote style="padding:5px; line-height:15px; background-color: #FAFFFF; border: 1px solid #000000; font-family: georgia; font-size: 10;"> I don't know how often they sift through the queue for current pet profiles in the works and what not. But I do think that if you're doing a test on a finished profile that was already nominated, move the pet page to the 'not ready' status for nomination, period.</blockquote>
Or test it on a different pet!

I think clearing the queue every so often is a good idea. Stuff like this would be avoided. And it's not hard to mention your pet in, say, your cult, to get it renominated after a clearing.

Actually, staff does not need to sift through the nomination queue more often. The queue must consist of thousands of pets by now, with how the whole pet spotlight works (which still got room for improvement in my opinion <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_smile.gif" border="0" /> ). They just need to have a look at the winner BEFORE it is published. Nice profile, anyway. I hope for the pet owner that everything is sorted out soon.

@Kali I agree-there at least needs to be one staff member who looks at the submissions before they go through and makes sure nothing is stolen or out of place so this sort of thing doesn't happen.

This wants me to disable Lashers Nominating Link right away :/ What a mess. I'm really sorry for this user to be frozen because of something that is not her fault at all. I mean, you need the nomination link on a profile you are changing to position it. My Profile Pet was also nominated, but he was kicked out. There should really be some changes made or at least a little more attention paying.

I think it's a bit unfair if she was frozen for having a profile she was making. :/ but I don't know the whole situation, I suppose.

From my understanding, you can still edit if you're still in the queue BEFORE you're in the winner's queue. So if you were to edit after you're put into the winner's queue, you get bumped back into the preliminary queue.

people can be frozen for other rule breakings like using foreign languages where you're not supposed to, or other totally unrelated things.
I was going to say though, that some people are talking about a potential clearing of the queue is the end of the world. I think it is a good idea.

I don't get why Jez entered the pet in the contest with that profile, unless she edited the profile AFTER she was entered, in which case wouldn't the entry be revoked? But still, the profile was being made by Jez for The Kid's owner with the artwork by Oatmeal at The Kid's owner's request, so she needs to be unfrozen because she was not guilty of art/code theft.

Regardless, maybe nomination queues should be removed when the user is frozen, like they're removed when pets are transferred.

Wow so there was a misunderstanding between some people and I gotta try to get Jezter the account back.
She made a profile for Varia, the real owner of the kid, and I suppose she had it on .Believe. to test the coding.

What happened was the user who owned this pet stole coding that was a mix of me and someone else's creation. Everything was taken care of.

I don't see how this couldn't be fixed by a simple re-running of the script. Instead of just going "oops better luck next time". It's annoying to me because I love seeing the pet spotlights every night, and this sort of pet is simply not deserving of winning. It robbed someone else of the chance of winning. It's wasteful. I doubt it will be redrawn, though.

@Marine No idea. The other petpages were certainly more suited to the pets they represented and appeared custom, but if the user had them made for themselves, or made them on their own, then why steal? It makes me very suspicious indeed. But, that's a moot point now because the fact is the user has been taken care of.

But why would they steal a profile like that that doesn't suit the pet at all? It's kind of hilarious to think about, really. XD

They layout and art was stolen, it's as simple as that. It was made by Oatmeal, coded by someone else, for the pet named The Kid. You can see the overlay on The Kid's page.

The saddest part, is they'll probably do another clearing sopeople will have to renominate again. If they'd just check the queue more often than once a Loveing year, than these sort of things wouldn't happen.
Then again, they could be assuming it's suppose to look like that, even if it doesn't fit at all.

Draken, it's supposed to be that if you make any coding changes to the description after being accepted to the queue, then it gets re-checked.
But you can add/take away as many TC items as you want. Minion too, I believe.

Just stated that they ought to sift through the profiles in the queue more often, though I don't know how often they actually sift through it. Obv not often enough, which is something that seems quite common with subeta. Not fixing a Loveing thing.

Yeah, the whole Tsundere's minion thing isn't making sense. The user <a href="/users/molly1" rel="molly1"><img src="http://images.subeta.net/icons/user.gif" border="0">molly1</a> who owns that pet doesn't seem to have really had any interaction with anyone on site. I just can't figure out why a coder would take someone else's minion to code a commission. SAYWHAT.

If they are suppose to remove these sorts of things from the queue, then they need to keep up on this sort of thing more often. Like, WAY more often. But it seems that subeta doesn't keep up on a lot of things. >.<
It's actually rather sad that the profiles that are the mistakes are the ones that get the most comments... lol.
Pet profiles have lost their appeal imo.

I'm pretty sure that if anything at all is changed it is removed. If even a period is added or removed from the profile it is suppose to be pulled from the queue.

Yes she was working on a commission I just found the request as well so it's not stolen but still, the rules I thought were is anything major was changed that it would be removed from the queue and also the foreign language that was pointed out that's against the rules as well is it not?

I'm guessing that Jezter put the images for the other pet where they were supposed to go WHILE creating the profile. So the minion is not hers it's a picture of the one the other person is using.

Even if it were a WIP/commission type thing, wouldn't the pet have been removed from the queue when the profile was changed? Isn't that how it is suppose to work? If not, it should be. If it was this way when it was entered, then who allowed it to move forward?
