Volunteers Needed for New Hair Layer!

We are looking for volunteers to help tackle one of our most-requested projects: making a hair layer for the wardrobe! That's right: at long last, hair will be getting its own layer, and we're inviting the community to help make it happen!

The new hair layer has already been set up and added to the site, and the custom wearable submission page has already been updated to put all newly-submitted wigs in the right layer. As a volunteer, you will be helping us sort items from the Head layer into the Hair layer. We will provide a special tool that makes it as fast and easy as possible. While volunteers will do this individually, we will have everyone in a private channel in the Subeta Discord Server to collaborate. (Interested in the Subeta Discord? Find it here!)

The requirements for this position are:
- You must be able to work in a group setting with 15-20 other volunteers and Subeta staff members

Bug and

Jessi
- You must have (or be willing to use) Discord and be a member of the official Subeta Discord server so we can invite you into a private work channel

This is a volunteer-only position, so you will not be compensated. (However, little thank-you gifts might find their way to your account every now and then... ;) )

If you are interested, please fill out this short application! The application form will be open until Sunday, March 7th. You will then be contacted by Staff within the week if you are chosen for this project. Thank you for your interest and continued support of Subeta!

This is going to be interesting. I look forward to guidance as to what will and won't be on the new layer, including things that go on the head in place of hair, things that look like hairstyles made of leaves or feathers or crystal instead of hair, items that include a hairstyle with a hood or other head decorations, and small bits of hair that aren't entire hairstyles.

which medium will we be contacted by? The google account I filled out the form with doesn't have an email I check often.

I hope this includes some head vs. hat fixes as well, I've noticed a lot of hats in the head section and many non-hat items in hats.

@Kristine Glad you got it to work! That explains why it always works on my Chromebook-Chrome is all I can use! lol

Kristine @ 02/28/21 11:39 pm

@Bug....thank you so very much :)

Kristine @ 02/28/21 11:38 pm

Thank you. I did get it to work I just had to use Chrome....but thank you for the tip :)

@Kristine Hm.. I honestly don't know Discord too well myself, so I'm not sure. I tried generating a new invite link just now, maybe this one will work for you? https://discord.gg/zVj2CYMhYw

Goblin @ 02/28/21 11:13 pm

@Kristine Did you try joining on a desktop or the mobile Discord app? I've never had an issue w/invites on the phone app. Did you get the chance to enter an email while trying to sign up? If so, check your inbox for an email from Discord-there may be a link to verify your email address.

Kristine @ 02/28/21 10:09 pm

I am most willing to help do this. I am however having issues trying to se up an account on Discord. It says the invite in invalid and wont let me enter anything after I "continue to site"

Asherah @ 02/28/21 9:11 pm

I would absolutely love to do this but work eats all my time :sob: Sorting things is my favorite. But that is life.

Impure @ 02/28/21 8:31 pm

im not able to help, but its cool to be able to join the subeta discord!!

Prismi @ 02/28/21 7:11 pm

Thanks in advance to all the volunteers who end up donating their time to make this happen <3 I wish I could help, but I don't have the time these days. This layer change is a long overdue and much-needed change and I'm super excited about it!!

Yuzu @ 02/28/21 6:42 pm

YAY!! I would love to help out with this! -runs to join the discord server-

Bug @ 02/28/21 6:41 pm STAFF

@Anoniemmus @Aline Since this is for volunteer positions, applicants should not expect compensation, and we also cannot promise specific "rewards" for helping out. The volunteers will be a massive help, so it's safe to say we'll find ways to thank them for their hard work! But it'll be a happy surprise whenever we do.

Aline @ 02/28/21 6:21 pm

Quick question: if we volunteer for the Subeta Hair Project and are approved, will we get the "Helpful" achievement?

Bison @ 02/28/21 6:11 pm

An opportunity to put my useless list-making hobby to good use??? Sign me up!!!

Coraychi @ 02/28/21 6:10 pm

@Bug
Okay, cool, thank you! :)

MagnusTheRed @ 02/28/21 6:10 pm

Oh, a sorting stuff job. I love sorting stuff. No, how to word 'I'm the kind of autistic person who sorts the items on supermarket shelves' in a smart, relevant way...

5

Bug @ 02/28/21 6:08 pm STAFF

@Coraychi Yup, just text. Volunteers will not be required to do voice or video calls.

welp @ 02/28/21 5:59 pm

Thank you @Jessi :heart:

gemajgall @ 02/28/21 5:59 pm

Thank you for this, and good luck to everyone who applies!

Anoniemmus @ 02/28/21 5:51 pm

This might be a good opportunity to give out the elusive Helper achievent to the volunteers. After all the gain criteria is "Help the Subeta Team with something important!".

Delphi @ 02/28/21 5:48 pm

I love Subeta and since I don't work I have a lot of free time, it would be a huge pleasure to help out with this!

0

Coraychi @ 02/28/21 5:45 pm

Oh, yay!! This is definitely a welcome change, very excited!
I did have one question about the volunteer positions - Discord is required, but it isn't specified if volunteers are expected to be able to do voice chat specifically or not. Is text chat sufficient, or would we need to be available for voice/video as well?

Life @ 02/28/21 5:32 pm

this is GREAT ♥

Thanatoast @ 02/28/21 5:29 pm

oh thank goodness FINALLY

AiryFaerie @ 02/28/21 5:20 pm

Oooh this is really exciting, I hope I can help out! It'll be awesome to finally have a hair layer ♡

0

Aline @ 02/28/21 5:19 pm

@welp I don't think so, since we can look at items we don't own in the wardrobe as well.

0

Goblin @ 02/28/21 5:16 pm

Oh this actually sounds kinda fun, in a weird way. Probably because I'm sooo into hair irl and could never tire of it lol

0

Cheshire @ 02/28/21 5:13 pm

I have been waiting for this forever!!!!!! Much excite!

0

Jessi @ 02/28/21 5:01 pm STAFF

@Swimfreak There won't be shifts or anything like that! How much you commit is up to you. Really, it is going to be casual and fun! We just need the help to go through a LOT of items!

4

Swimfreak @ 02/28/21 4:57 pm

Absolutely support a hair layer!

Any idea about how much time volunteers should be able to commit? (Per week?) Will there be scheduled meetings or "shifts"? Just trying to figure out of my availability matches expectations before I apply!

Rogue @ 02/28/21 4:57 pm

@Jessie
OK, thanks :)

taffyann @ 02/28/21 4:54 pm

I am super excited about this. I have so many wigs. Finding them is a nightmare because I can't ever remember the names. Woohoo.

0

Jessi @ 02/28/21 4:53 pm STAFF

@Rogue - Since this is the first time we've done a project like this, we really don't have an exact time frame of how things may take! It will be somewhat volunteer-directed, and we'll all have to see together how quickly we can make progress :)

1

Lottie @ 02/28/21 4:52 pm

Super excited for this new feature, and for teamwork making it happen.

0

dragonrider88 @ 02/28/21 4:51 pm

I'm SUPER excited for this!! Just today I was wishing(for the millionth time) for a separate hair layer!

Question- what's the time commitment? I do have a full-time job, but I'd love to volunteer for this project!

0

Ringo @ 02/28/21 4:48 pm

I'm so excited for this! If this works out well maybe we can sort/re-categorize some other things in the wardrobe afterwards. :D

lovecraft @ 02/28/21 4:44 pm

Have fun volunteers and good luck. <3

0

Rogue @ 02/28/21 4:43 pm

Does the project have a timeline yet? (est start/finish)

0

Bliss @ 02/28/21 4:42 pm

I love this idea! Working as a team means coming together ♥️

0

Beren @ 02/28/21 4:37 pm

I so wish I had the time to apply for this!
*kicks stupid virus*
I love my job, but at ties like this I wish I could have a few more hours....

Because working with a team means working at the same time - or at least some time together
and I can't really say how things turn out and if I have the time XD

0

Jestro @ 02/28/21 4:37 pm

love love love the idea so much

Jessi @ 02/28/21 4:36 pm STAFF

@welp You won't have to buy anything :)

Anrivef @ 02/28/21 4:36 pm

@Jessi
Darn, I’d really enjoy contributing to this project but that’s just a huge barrier D: thanks for the info though

0

feral @ 02/28/21 4:34 pm

@Jessi
Ah okay. I don't use servers, so I didn't understand what that meant. I do now.
TY for clarifying.
I'll have to sit this one out, which is a shame. I've had too many people use my Discord to harass me in the past and don't want to open it again. :C

0

welp @ 02/28/21 4:33 pm

Would it be necessary to have CSC to buy cash/custom items to participate?

0

Jessi @ 02/28/21 4:33 pm STAFF

@feral
The channel to work on this is in the Subeta discord server, so you have to be a part of the server to join the channel.

0

LadyTamarwen @ 02/28/21 4:30 pm

Oh, this is So needed. Thank you for tackling this at last!

0

feral @ 02/28/21 4:29 pm

Mostly just curious; is there a reason you have to be a part of the official Subeta discord server?
I certainly would be happy to use discord, but unfortunately not at the cost of having my discord UN completely public. =/

0

Damon @ 02/28/21 4:29 pm

Sounds like fun and very interesting. I applied and will join the server when I can!

0

Shrimp @ 02/28/21 4:29 pm

Oh, I am TOTALLY applying for this! The lack of a hair layer is the exact reason I have a Wig drawer.

1

peachette @ 02/28/21 4:27 pm

I was actually looking through my old posts the other day and saw one discussing how we wanted a hair layer. So yay! I'd love to help, but I'm excited for this layer either way!
I also didn't know there was an official discord, oops. Did we need to already have joined it?

0

Jessi @ 02/28/21 4:25 pm STAFF

@Anrivef I'm sorry, but Discord is a requirement. We need to be able to communicate as a team.

0

Jovi @ 02/28/21 4:24 pm

@Azzie @_Last_Chance_ @TheDisabledQueer
Invite link to Subeta's Discord
You can join although I think the server is a bit quiet most of the time as it was previously only used for communication during down time. I assume we have to apply to actually help out, not just join the server.

Demoness @ 02/28/21 4:24 pm

Well I was gonna do my own drawer for my hairs but this is a great opportunity to do it for everyone instead! Good luck to everyone who applies :)

0

Jessi @ 02/28/21 4:23 pm STAFF

I added a link to the Discord in the news post!

@Delirium EXCELLENT GIF USAGE.

3

Anrivef @ 02/28/21 4:23 pm

Ahh if it didn’t involve Discord this would be my time to SHINE, I have a whole drawer dedicated to hair & I loveeee random sorting tasks. Any chance I could just.. not do the Discord thing and still add a bunch of items to the list?

0

mandanarchi @ 02/28/21 4:22 pm

Yay! Now I won't need to keep adding them to a custom drawer :D

0

_Last_Chance_ @ 02/28/21 4:22 pm

I'm also looking for a link to the discord if anyone has one! This sounds like a good idea.

0

mutant @ 02/28/21 4:21 pm

also +1 on the discord, id love to join

0

Julie @ 02/28/21 4:20 pm

This would be great. I have drawers. One for CW hair. One for Subeta hair. One for hair decorations.

0

TheDisabledQueer @ 02/28/21 4:19 pm

I am not part of the discord yet, would I be able to join and help out with this?

0

Delirium @ 02/28/21 4:19 pm

I AM SO EXCITED FOR THIS, Y'ALL. I could cry tears of joy. ;u;

Skolletta @ 02/28/21 4:19 pm

How exciting! I’ve been looking forward to this being implemented and would love to work on it. c:

Saturnine @ 02/28/21 4:18 pm

@Jessi That's fair! Sounds good so far.

0

Azzie @ 02/28/21 4:17 pm

I wasn't aware there was an official subeta discord! I'd love to get in on it!

0

Bishop @ 02/28/21 4:15 pm

This is a great idea, and sounds like it would be fun to shift through all the site items!

0

Jessi @ 02/28/21 4:15 pm STAFF

@Saturnine This will be for ALL wig/hair-type items on site, and it will be ongoing until we're essentially done. We're sure there will be ones we run into after we're "finished", but we hope to get the vast majority taken care of this way.

4

Puncture @ 02/28/21 4:14 pm

I think they mean like instead of head and hat include a hair layer so it's easier to find your wigs. Which I think is a great idea :)

0

boy @ 02/28/21 4:14 pm

I'm not a member of the discord yet, is there a link to it?

1

Butterflies @ 02/28/21 4:13 pm

Awesome idea! I volunteered my services ♥️

2

Chazezmom @ 02/28/21 4:13 pm

thank you!! this is a long time coming!! just hair....no bows or headbands to search through! thank you!!

8

Jessi @ 02/28/21 4:13 pm STAFF

@Fyreheart There isn't! Well, if you look in the wardrobe right NOW, there is, since

Bug added it in today. But no, up to today all wigs went into the head layer.

1

Andraste @ 02/28/21 4:13 pm

@Fyreheart
There is a head and a hat section in the layers and a lot of wearable hairs are stuck between the two. Sometimes CWs get put in the wrong one and that is one of the things they want to fix. :D

0

Saturnine @ 02/28/21 4:13 pm

Would we be categorizing CW items, or just staff made ones?
Is this an on-going thing, or until the chosen categorize x amount of objects?

1

mutant @ 02/28/21 4:12 pm

i was just thinking how there should be a hair layer while going through my wardrobe the other day haha

1

Fyreheart @ 02/28/21 4:11 pm

Isn't there already a hair layer?
