primrose, 22, she/him. FR lair. I follow from kubfoo. I collect Fern/Cottoncandy G1's, if you have one I've probably already contacted you. No price is too high.
i find a lot of the pushback on the new ancient for the most part performative and distasteful. there are small details i wouldlike differently but otherwise i think it is perfectly serviceable. many of you are pretending to feel more strongly than you do out of whatever causes petsite fans to Act Like That, or are being fatphobic. even those of you who are trying to speak for all fat people. all that i will say.
Spongebob and Patrick, who are best friends, live in the city of Bikini Bottom, which is at the bottom of the sea. This is the source of many problems.
Santae banned me without telling me why and won't unban me unless I send them my photo ID
Hey guys sorry for not posting in… forever? I just suck at social media lol. But you may have seen that I've reblogged some posts that advertise Santae in the past, but please disregard all that. I've since deleted those posts after learning how the site is managed and, after what happened to me a few days ago, I feel as though I should go public about this. Because boy did I just get fucked over.
Anyway, yeah, what it says in the title. On October 24th, around 10am EST, I was restocking my user shop when the entire webpage went white. I couldn't access the site at all and, when I tried to look for the Discord on my server list, it wasn't there. I knew what this had meant. I got banned from both the game, and the Discord - this is important to keep in mind for later.
I didn't receive any Discord DM or email notification about my ban, so after asking a mod what their support email was (and yes, I later verified that this is indeed their legitimate support email), I sent them this:
After a few hours, I get this back in response:
There's so much I'm confused about here. I think the one that screams out the most is that they're asking me to show them my photo ID so I can get unbanned. Absolutely not. I refuse to do this. This poses a massive security and privacy risk. They straight up banned my account, gave this half-baked explanation, and told me I need to send my personal information or... I stay banned?
Let me make something clear: The only personal thing they have on file about this account is the email address that I created my account with, which I've also used to contact them. My real name, date of birth, anything of that nature would not be connected because this was not asked for during account creation, therefore this wouldn't actually prove I'm the account holder. Theoretically speaking, I could show them any ID in the world and for all they know, that's my real information, because they have nothing else to go off of. They even say as much in their privacy page.
Secondly, "account has been compromised"? What does that mean? I think anyone's interpretation of this would be that my account got hacked. But if my account got hacked, why wasn't I informed of this? I had to reach out to support, they did not reach out to me first. That means my password, which I may share across other sites, would have been known to someone else and thus I should've been warned of this immediately, not roughly 5 hours after the fact.
Thirdly, what, was my Discord "compromised" too? If an automated system had flagged my account, does that system somehow interact with a Discord bot so they ban a user on both at the same time? How does that work? That makes no sense as to why they'd ban me on both the game and the Discord for something like this, which is why I'm calling bullshit.
Let me tell you what I think happened.
Recently, Santae has been in some really hot water with connections revealing their relation to an older petsite, Lurapets, which has a history of scamming and artist mistreatment, as well as proof coming out of them using AI art for their NPC art. You can find these posts on the @santae-salt blog if you want to see for yourself, but I'm also linking them throughout this post.
Once the post about them being directly related to Lurapets was released, several users that the Santae staff thought might be involved in the creation of the post got banned. As it turns out, I was banned at the same time as these users.
After speaking with the @santae-salt admin, we are both of the belief that I, a regular user, got caught up in this mess because they're assuming I'm an alt account of someone else and staff demanded to see my ID because they didn't think I was a different person. It may turn out to be wrong, and yeah that sounds a bit far-fetched, sure, but really, what else can I go off of here?? Santae staff has given me a very questionable and refutable explanation as to why I've been banned, and their radio silence after I refused to send them my ID is just making me believe they don't think I'm real. They don't want my photo ID to verify I'm the account holder, they want my photo ID to verify I'm not someone else.
This is unprecedented. I've never seen any petsite ask for a photo ID in any situation, and after asking around, not even those banned from Santae were asked for this. It's just me! This is an incredible attempted breach of privacy, and, with Santae now under doxxing allegations, I really don't feel confident they'd keep my personal information… well, personal.
I messaged back almost immediately after they responded to me where I told them I would not send my ID and I had asked if there were any other way I could verify myself to get my account unbanned. I've received no response so far, and after what I've learned, I feel like I'm not going to get one at all.
So, let this be a lesson to you: don't waste your time on Santae. You can be the most obedient player out there. You can abide by all their rules, be a nice and generous player, or just be minding your own business, but if they so much as think you're associated with someone who they think has wronged them, you'll be banned.
And they can't even be bothered to properly tell you why.
paw borough has fixed userpage css box leakage but it appears they have not added a limit to how many boxes you can add. max value it accepts for div height is 9999999px btw.

Hello! just wanted to send in a message regarding artist pay.
this post:
https://www.tumblr.com/santaesecrets/761713354198908928/user-banned-after-acquiring-updated-artist-rates?source=share
not sure why Sky left out the entire price range? she could just have been referring to the price of Items alone (minimals, food, books, items like that).
I'll start with this: Discussion of Wages is a Federally Protected right in the United States, where CJ and Santae Entertainment LLC is based, please look at this link here for your rights regarding Wage Discussion. https://www.nlrb.gov/about-nlrb/rights-we-protect/your-rights/your-rights-to-discuss-wages
Now that that's out of the way: That doesn't encompass the entire range of Artist pay.
Naturally, for starters, the price of items is not the price of NPC's, Pets, Graphic Art (avatars, icons, site header, etc), Map/Scenery Art.
but, most notable of all. It doesn't include the Human Avatar art (the clothing, companions and such drawn on the Human Avatars directly, this does not include the Item Art of the Human Avatar Items).
Items:
Regular Items are 6 USD flat.
There is no price range on visual complexity.
Animated Items are 8 USD
Basic Recolors (so, just using the fill tool to color layers that already exist, very easy) are 0.50 USD each
Complex Recolors (adding new information to an existing item) are 2 USD
NPC art is 30 USD
New Pet art is 30 USD
Existing Pet Revamps (redrawing an old pet) is 20 USD
Pet Basic Recolor is 2 USD
"Elaborate Recolor(line edits)" is 3 to 5 USD
Animated Forum Avatars - 4 USD
Pixel Icons - 3 USD
Animated Pixel Icon - 5 USD
Pixel Icon Recolor - 0.50 USD
Site Header - 6 USD
Regular Site Banner/Graphic - 4 USD
Animated Site Banner/Graphic - 6 USD
Site Banner Recolor - 1 USD
Social Media Graphic - 5 to 10 USD
UI Page Design - 8 USD
And, finally. Human Avatar Art (this is the art drawn directly on the human avatars), I'll type this out for those using a screenreader, but i did include the image we artists are given to reference, with some blurs and mosaic to the depicted items for NDA reasons:
Small Accessories (earrings/necklace), and Eyes: 2 to 4 USD
Facial Features: 1 to 2 USD
Hair: 5 to 8 USD
Belts and Sashes, Shoes, Gauntlets, Leggings, Pants, Shorts, Small Wings, Small Head Wearables, Hair Accessories: 4 to 6 USD Shirts: 4 to 8 USD
Large Acessories, Cloaks, Robes, Dresses: 6 to 8 USD
Skins, and Large Wings: 8 to 12 USD
Large Head Wearables: 8 to 10 USD
Special Clothing and Armor: 12 to 15 USD
Backgrounds: 30 USD
Foreground: 6 to 8 USD
Please keep in mind, the earlier mention of Animated items includes, hand drawn, frame by frame animation.
And, every single step of the process gets sent in for approval. Your sketch, your Lines, Color, and Shading
If Artists were able to finish these items in less than an hour, the pricing still wouldn't be great, the Pet Site Community as a whole undervalues art. But, each item will take at least 1 day, if not longer to finish, requested to be drawn in batches of 5. Typically, you may see an artist finish 5 items a Week.
If an Artist was to draw 5 shirts for the site, they will get, not including the Item Art, 20 dollars. As there has been times where the artist who draws the clothing on the Human Avatar doesn't end up drawing the Item.
Please bear this in mind when you think about those 150 to 500 dollar price tags on the Kickstarter for designing items. 150 dollars for Hair, when the artist will get 5. 200 dollars for a single clothing item, when the range the artist will receive will be 2 to 8 USD.
I emplore the staff to make the pay of all staff members 100 per cent transparent to the users, including Artist pay, Admin, Programmer, Mods, and etc. Real life money or SanCash.
As of 08:30 server time today, Wednesday, September 11, the Flight Rising website is passing all security and file checks. Our engineers have attempted to recreate this flag using the reported antivirus programs (Avast and Avira) and have been unable to reproduce the reported alert. We suspect this was a false positive, triggered by an update on the anti-virus's side, that has since been patched.
Our findings and community reports are consistent with previous instances similar to today's, where an anti-virus or anti-malware program flags the site as suspect after an update on their side. If (when) this happens again going forward, we ask that players receiving these alerts also report them to your anti-virus provider so they can check their own records and updates with reproducible examples and patch any false flags. This isn't to say we don't want you reporting this to us—please continue to report these issues to us as they come up, even if they turn out to be a false positive later!
Thank you again for your reports! We will continue to monitor throughout the day, out of an abundance of caution.
I know we're all hungry for more modern exclusive genes and especially a new modern tert but I really just want varnish/lacquer on moderns that's literally it everything else comes second please please please you're nothing
