We want our paint boards back ..... what is wrong with you? Frames dont work, pb are inoffensive,players hack you, scamm, do bad things and you dont care, but u destroy a simple PB ????
I just had a few pb from my avatar, come on. I pay real money for this game.The game is dying, cant you see it?

I have a genius friend who passed away 5 years ago She left an ENTIRE YO WORLD OF HER OWN, interconnected, interactive, brilliant, incredible. I would have screen grabbed and screen video'd her genius if only you had EVER given any warning about this. KathyFE used them to create walls, moods, signs, all sorts of things. I understand yo do not want to get sued by parents or offended persons using them for dirty purposes, but to group disable is unreal. Just unreal.

Please advise: ARE YOU ABLE TO RESTORE THEM ? !!! PLEASE RESTORE THEM IF SO!! SOLUTION:

JUST MAKE A "REPORT" BUTTON ON THE MAIN SCREEN SO ANYONE CAN REPORT A MISUSE.
MAKE THE REPORT BUTTON ID THE ROOM AND BOARD WHERE THE AVATAR IS.
JUST LIKE FB AND INSTA ET AL.

PLEASE RESTORE THEM AND MAKE A BUTTON TO REPORT!!!!!!!!!!! SO MUCH SIMPLER!!!!!!! THANKS AND WE LOVE YOU! Robin "Roro" Meisner [email protected]

I understand there was a need to get rid of these and I suspect there were other issues that most would not understand. I am all for keeping us safe from bad actors.
I am wondering if password protecting them would help?

My game has been compromised but I don't expect to see any restitution. I had a number of these boards most of which I used as direction signs on avenues to houses but there were others inside also.
I do understand others being very upset though.

I completely understand what you are going through. There are many games, social sites etc that are grappling with the same issue. If it is what I suspect it is, we and you could have lost the entire game. Protection of the game and the players is the highest priority and we cannot lose sight of that fact. I have faith you will compensate us to the best of your ability.

Cheers

>> Given a choice - game shut down or no paint boards, where do you all stand?

SHUT IT DOWN.

Without the personalization of the paint boards, there is no point. Might as well have burned my thousands of dollars in the street.

My lawyer says this is not actionable legally. If we can't sue 'em, we gotta boycott 'em. For many of us, BVG screwed us thoroughly. They expect us to go along with it and keep paying. NO WAY, JOSE!

Unless you're here for Viking Paint By Numbers, the only answer is to LEAVE. And if you stay, never give this company ANY money. It cannot be trusted with your funds (leaving them to burn in the street, uselessly). It does not care about you.

Of course, you'll decide if you want to stand tall or crawl in submission to a ruthless, greedy, and uncaring Canadian capitalist construct.

BVG is a VILE company pushing mindless conformity for filthy lucre. If you want to give it your money, well, a lot of people support a convicted felon for US president. Maddening and terrifying. I pray intelligent people of integrity will kick BVG to the curb as it has kicked us in the face AND POCKETBOOK time and time again.

We don't matter to BVG, only our CASH matters.

SHUT IT DOWN. Boycott them and leave the company in debt and in ruins. That is what BVG deserves.

When people try to pressure me into doing what they want, I tend to dig in my heels and do the opposite. I'm Irish and a Taurus & we're just a tad stubborn.

You are the perfect BVG customer!

Hope you enjoy burning through cash for bvg's pleasure.

A lot of people will leave and boycott. Many have cancelled VIP. Many have walked away. IMO, BVG has earned every departure and every boycotted. I pray that so many people flee that it collapses the firm. I want BVG out of business. Only that will allow me to live with the knowledge that I've lost thousands of dollars with this loser company. Lacking that, I will spread the word far and wide to people in hopes they never start using this company or its products,

You certainly have the right to do as you will: If giving them your money and having no creative outlet here works for you, perhaps this horrid company has a future. But without artists! Not that you care, apparently. Have fun in conformity land!

Just a terrible company...

You took my DEAD sons Name Boards and Angels that was made for him.. Memories of what was taken are PRICELESS!!!!!!!!!

BVG doesn't care, regrettably.

Many of us do care. I send you love and encourage you to leave this company that has disrespected you and your loved one's memory.

You are welcome to go or stay at any point. You are welcome to buy or not buy as well. BVG made a hard decision, and the consequence of what they chose hurts us all. I am hopeful they can find a better solution. But as it stands, I don't blame people for feeling hurt and resenting BVG for it. It was an expected part of our game, and it was yanked away.

But I like to think I know why they did it, even though I can't be 100% certain. But I am 99% certain, and that's close enough for me. Because if it is THAT, none of our paint boards matter as much as what BVG is trying to prevent - in my opinion. So yeah, I'm always gonna pissed off about this. But I will also be grateful for what they are choosing to prevent.

It was definitely a lose/lose decision process for them, but I think they chose the greater good. And I'd be a %$#@ing liar if didn't say I'm a supporter of the greater good in all instances.

you need to update them on facebook, save and then you will see them in the app, you can't fix them in the app though

You could have players submit images for approval, then if approved, players would get a code to unlock their board and put the image on the board or frame or whatever. Disable the hand writing on boards. If it is a matter of staff hours, I am sure you could get player volunteers who would work for YoCash. Ex. review 20 board images and get 1 YC. I am sure you would have no shortage of volunteers.

Disabling handwriting would limit our ability to create signs and decor items that are not offensive, abusive or copyrighted and I'm not confident that player volunteers wouldn't be biased. RL photos, names and messages that violate the TOS is one thing. Hand drawing a sign like a restaurant sign that's not using the real name or brand, a little decor thing like a pot filler for our kitchens, item prices or just whatever graffiti is quite another.

It shouldn't be left to players to monitor this stuff, regardless of whether they they are paid in Yo currency or just doing it to volunteer. Volunteering means no payment. It's BVG's responsibility to do their best to make sure things don't get abused and they should be investing in paid staff and properly vetting them to handle this.

I never used the free style handwriting, it looked awful. Now if we could type to the boards that would be different. Yes I understand volunteering means not getting compensated. I is a college gradiate! Call it a bonus, whatever. I'm just saying, long-time adult players could be a resource to get things moving. And we could still use Facebook if the frames were working. Any abuse would would be less likely since your images are uploaded to FB.

It's a skill that needs to be mastered. I'm not great at it either but I made a few signs I was happy with, none of them remotely in violation of anything. I don't understand what typing words would accomplish as opposed to drawing them. Do you really think they are capable of creating boards where we can type in whatever font or color at this point? And what about hand drawing things that aren't signs? I think you're looking at it more from a sales/games players' perspectives rather than the artists' perspectives. They're both integral parts of the game.

Facebook is not the entire issue here. There was and is plenty of abuse on there. The people in charge of coding and monitoring to keep the boards and players safe should be trained, vetted and paid. That's not to say they won't have biases, but an actual employee of the company who's paid accordingly and properly trained would likely be a better option than just any player who wants to volunteer.

No BVG don't deserve any of that

all i can say at this point is my rooms are sabotaged .close friends that's passed way i paid to have on paint boards made in memory. all gone and so much more .my Travis Scott room is the worst sabotaged room cant even tell what it was its that bad. you say you cant save ones inventory to there acc but you can delete all paint boards in a matter of min, so this has showed me you can do anything your team chooses to fix or not fix. only to benefit your needs and not the players needs . SAD a big loss for players only . and lots of my paint boards was yo cash and then paid with coins to have done .and we all suffer for others doings. I don't think others should pay the conquests for someone else actions ,have a bless day ,

This saddens me so much to read.
None of it is worth repeating, as to have it stand out more than it already has.

Unless you have hard proof of something, you should not slander another person's character
In this case I do know the accusations are false rumors coming from jealous ones in the community.
Rumors that belong in the garbage.

I don't think there was a rule broken, I don't think there is a rule that you have to speak truth in here....and I have a policy of never reporting anyone, ever, no matter what they did.
Reporting Karma is nothing I want to wear.
But please, labeling someone from rumors you've heard karma is equally as bad IMO.

When will kindness be making a comeback....

Yeah i will delete my reply to it all when BVG HELLO????? Decides to delete what has already been reported (and I am sure many more than I tried to report it again. Mods??


Also, I differ on what comes back to you. I think not reporting hate or dangerous lies about others comes back to you in maybe the next person won't have your back when you are in need. Regardless of lies or truth in this case (I am going with the former), this type of post is in the 0 tolerance TOS rule...BVG? Mods?...

I have never used paint boards but I think it is sad that because of one bad apple messing things up for other people who have never misused paint boards and I think it's wonderful how you are going try to fix this paint board problem so our team members may have their paint boards back

Thank you for working on a solution for the Paint Boards. I hope you find a solution soon. I use them a lot in my decorating, and have missed being able to use them.
