Community Update


Aside from monthly event news posts and the 2nd Friday of each month being focused on art/coding updates, all other Fridays are centered around the community!

Rule Clarification Regarding AI Images


With the rise in popularity of AI-generated images, we have seen more and more of our players expressing uncertainty regarding whether we allow these images to be sold on Lioden. We would like to clarify that the sale of AI-generated images has never been allowed on Lioden—our staff team has always considered AI-generated images to fall under Tree Carving Rules bullets 2.1 and 2.2: "Do not sell art that you didn't create with your own hands" and "Copied, traced, or stolen art in any form is not allowed to be sold or profited off of".

However, we can understand and agree with the need for a clear statement that can be referred back to within our site rules. With that being said, we have implemented an additional bullet point that falls under Tree Carving Rules bullet 2.2.

2.2.8 "You may not sell AI-generated images because it is not legally regulated, it might produce plagiarisms, and it does not hold a copyright."


You are permitted to use AI-generated images for your own personal use, but please be informed that attempting to sell or otherwise profit off of these images will result in action being taken against your account.

With the clarification of this rule, two new questions have been added to the Lioden Trivia game that refer to selling artwork on Lioden.

Chat Room Update


We have a couple of minor updates to the chat room today. The first is in regard to claiming giveaways in Giveaways Chat. Previously, you could claim an unlimited number of giveaways at once. Moving forward starting today, there will be a 5 minute cooldown between claims. We feel that this will allow more players to participate in giveaways without having the same players attempting to claim all giveaways as soon as they are posted.

The second update to the chat room is the ability to mute players. Similar to blocking a player, muting a player will hide all of their messages and any pings directed at them. The main difference is that this only affects the chat room, allowing you to interact with a muted player in all other areas, such as the Trading Center. You can find this option under the same menu as pinging/flagging/blocking:



To unmute a player, there is a new "Manage Muted Users" section under the chat gear icon:



Clicking on this will bring up a list of any players you have muted and a button to unmute them.

Moderator Applications Reminder


We would like to take a moment to remind everyone that our voluntary moderator applications are permanently open and can be found at the bottom of the Modbox, or through this direct link: Moderator Application Form

Moderator applications are reviewed by Lioden's admins as necessary. We do not have a time limit on when applications can be sent in, nor when they may be reviewed. We may not always need new moderators, but we would like to retain applications on file just in case!

To apply to be a voluntary moderator, you must have been registered on Lioden for at least 6 months, be 18 years of age or older, and have a record that is fairly clean of rule breaks and trouble making. We hope that applicants will have a decent grasp on gameplay knowledge in order to properly troubleshoot and assist players having issues with Lioden's site features.

If you are accepted, you will be messaged privately by a site admin with further details regarding the position. Please keep in mind that this is a voluntary position that does not offer benefits. Lioden's moderators are volunteers that offer their time to help catch rule breaks, enforce Lioden's site rules, and assist players with their gameplay issues.

Raffle Lioness


Congrats to the winner of last week's raffle lioness!
A new Sphinx lady with Cream Indri, Saffron Margay, and the ninth Ashlands of Dabbahu Volcano background is up for impressing in the Special Lioness area linked here!

Poll Results - Thank you all for voting on last week's poll! Shell-inspired growths seem to be the most popular option for new Murex Shell craftable decors. We'll let our artists know!

NEW POLL - We're thinking about implementing Maracaja as an applicator marking. The suggested design has pretty hard edges, so we'd like to poll your input. Would you want the marking to look like the OG suggestion with sharp edges and softer insides, or have it be generally softer, similar to Feline 9? Let us know in this week's poll!

I think that a five-minute cooldown on chat claims is a bit excessive; maybe a one-minute cooldown instead?

I say this not as someone who claims giveaways from chat constantly, but as someone who gives away lions in chat. I worry that such a long cooldown will make people scared to claim "normal" lions, in fear that just a minute later someone will put a mutie or rosette up for first claim and they'll miss it. I use giveaway chat to give away posed NCLs, cute cubs, or chaseds without many markings on both of my accounts, but I don't have enough lions to make it worth making a giveaway den (it would be empty most of the time, and have one or two lions at a time otherwise.)

I definitely have noticed a problem of one person claiming every lion in chat, but I don't think it's common enough to require such a drastic solution.

Remember, anyone can learn to draw! AI art chews up the work of others and spits junk out!

Thank you for the update! The mute button is a really neat QOL change. I don't typically feel the need to block anybody, and I doubt that I will ever really want to mute anybody, either, but I can imagine that it will be super useful for those who wish to filter their chat experience a little.

I do agree that the Giveaways cooldown could be shortened a touch. Maybe 2-3 minutes would be a good compromise.
