New pound rule

[Armi]

ERROR : Sorry, but you cannot create and abandon a pet within 7 days of creating


My friend found this out the hard way and is stuck with a pet for a week.

I didn't see a topic on it, so just telling people.

Good rule. No more bazzilion kacheeks named bob32485 in the pound...

[hyperflutterby]

That is a really good rule. Hopefully people won't mass abandon pets now.

(Well not really mass abandon, I know you can only abandon one a day, but still, good rule.)

I'm glad that they finally taken a stance on the pound spamming problem... although now people like that will abuse multiple accounts to continue >_>

[VirtualMetal]

Thats nice. Now maybe people will look in the pound for av pets that they usually create such as a shoyru or a skeith for an av. Then pound it.

Now they have to wait

Good, maybe the pound wont get so swamped in future, its about time they added a rule like this. Why would anybody want to disown a new pet after only a couple of days anyway? And does this rule apply to pets adopted from the pound?

[everconfused]

Now this is a good rule, IMHO. Too many people were creating then immediately abandoning pets for avatars and many of them gave the poor pets absurd names, like justfortheavatar, things like that.

Then there are people who just like creating pets, then decide they don't want to keep them. Don't know why, but I've adopted pets that were only a hour or so old.

As far as getting a pet from the pound I don't know if the same rule will apply. I adopt, zap, release, but normally that take alot more than 7 days for something great to happen. I had one pet take almost 2 months to change - into an island cybunny. There was a mad scramble when I posted that one on the board saying it was going up for adoption!

7 days? I think it should atleast be 3 or 5... but not 7. I mean, what if you named the pet wrong.. like, spelt it wrong or something, and then you're stuck with it, and people think you dont know how to spell.. but obviously if you spelt it wrong.. you DONT know how to spell

"stuck" with a pet? Maybe he shouldnt have created another pet if he didnt want it!

Great Rule!!

[bluebird]

great rule!

I get a little sentimental about virtual pets...seeing the pound swamped with unwanted ones makes me sad. I've always adopted from the pound for an avvie. Maybe others will too, now!

[Armi]

He adopts Quiggles to zap via the lab (he's trying to get the Island Quiggle avatar) not easy finding a quiggle in there so I'm guessing he made one this time, but usually he adopts them.

Quiggle now ruins his Kitchen questing for a week. =/ He can't zap his own pet cause it's royal.

Bah....I can't do Turmy anymore or I'll have to check adopted pets' ages. I lost my Carma to him before, so I'm not gonna risk my Zomutt.


Still this is a good thing TNT has done, cause it will lessen pets with stupid names now.

[Ammer]

Finally. TNT taking a stand to those stupid pound spammers. I hope this discourages people like that to create and abandon pets for no particular reason.

Now there only has to be more people who'd improve the pets currently in there so it empties faster. I would love to, but I already have four pets on my main account, and I forgot the password to my old gallery account.
