When will dark mode be expanded to the rest of the site? Bouncing between dark in forums and light in marketplace hurts my eyes, for example.

Lanzer: "We will look into having a couple more pages be available in dark mode such as Marketplace, avatar and inventory pages. All these features were written in silo during a time when dark mode wasn't a thing, so it's a bunch of work to convert them individually."

site issues

sometimes when I post, my post shows up timestamped wrong. for example, I made this thread at 7:06PM but it shows as being posted at 7:02PM. Also last night in some threads it was showing me as posting a reply before the person I was replying to.

is staff aware/looking into this issue?

Lanzer: "That's odd, they should be all pointing to the same clock. Will see if there is a bug with the time reporting on posting."

The Definition of Scamming/Misrepresentation - Extended to Exclusive Ticket Usermades

Quote:

Scamming is when another member of Gaia takes your gold or items, or tries to take your gold or items, by making false promises of giving you rare items, get-rich-quick schemes, or by any other deceptive means. Scamming generally involves a situation in which two members of Gaia make an arrangement to trade gold, items, or a Gaia approved service (e.g. avatar art commission) with each other and then one of the parties involved in the arrangement fails to live up to his or her promise of an exchange.

In my observations, certain users have exploited usermade items to their benefit in the course of the last 6-7 years, by virtue of the the broad powers bestowed by exclusive tickets. Examples include, and are not limited to: claims in the OP threads as "being the only copy sold," to later reneging on that promise; to utilizing deceptive means as using perfect parcels and selling the redeemed items through mules. Misrepresenting a new usermades purported valuation, and using pyramid schemes to perpetuate dysfunction.

Most often, this regards users who do not actively support Gaia financially, and request users who do support Gaia, to overpay for their new items. Feedback would be appreciated.

mis·rep·re·sen·ta·tion /ˌmisreprəzenˈtāSH(ə)n/
the action or offense of giving a false or misleading account of the nature of something.

If you believe someone is pulling a Scam, please make sure to report them HERE. Please make sure to include links/screenshots of where they made false statements."

GENERAL

Howdy Gaia staff! I want sure if this was the right avenue to ask, but I had applied for a moderator position a month ago last Saturday—I noticed that the most recent post about applications mentioned to email a specific email address, but I submitted my form through the link on the sticky thread about mod applications. Is there any way to verify whether or not my application was received or if I need to send to it that email address?

Jak Bauer (Gaia Staff): "Hi there,

I checked and your application is in the queue!"

Features

Was wondering if it's possible to implement 'You own this item' into the Stars rewards page?

Also a mass 'open all at once' button for the tonnes of chance items we get from dailies and such would be great. mine pile up because i dont have the time to open them. Maybe a 'feeling lucky' version that randomly makes choices on the ones with multiple path options

Lanzer: "Good to see you! Yes we can add the notification on the redemption page. I think this is already in our todo list."

Items(?)

Is there a way to learn which items were made by which artist?


Furthermore, would it ever be possible to mp search by artist by any means other than the current tagging system?

Eros (Gaia Staff): "It will always be the artist's personal decision to reveal if they made an item or not. A lot of items can be figured out pretty easily if you recognize pixel styles however.

Some artists and recolorist just prefer their privacy in general and that's okay.
I for one, prefer not to take claim on some items or recolors I've made due to some reasonssss. "

Would it be possible to add an option to open RIG items in bulk? It'd be really useful when there are a lot to open.

Lanzer: "We can look into having a quantity option as a feature request."

Marketplace

Hi Staff

Is there any way we can make the release date a searchable field in the marketplace?

You all do such a great job of releasing themed seasonal items throughout the year, but the catalog is hard to keep track.

If users were able to search by year, or month, it would really help us out!

I appreciate all your hard work~

Lanzer: "Interesting suggestion. We will find a way to search by date."

In past ATS's i swear we were told this wouldn't happen because it was too complex, something to do with how items are put/loaded into the inventory. Has the opinion of staff changed?

Jak Bauer (Gaia Staff) : "Hi there,

What people had asked was a way to open them all at once. That breaks the system/causes MASSIVE slowdowns for everyone else which is why it was too complex. Lanzer's suggestion just now was more a staged release/more than one at a time but less than everything."

2020 Collections
Lazer, last week you said you'd look into the fact its still ongoing / no rewards for the first half of 2020 puzzle pieces released.
Any updates?

Lanzer: "We're still looking into it. Sorry for the wait."

Wishlist
The OP post says "This bug should have been fixed yesterday."
It was fixed by lanzer immediately during last ats.
it's broken again.

Lanzer: "I'll check on the wishlist issues right after ATS. Sorry if you're still having issues."
