Every few months this has to be re-addressed. I try new words that were missed last time. I try new angles of reason.
The yard wand has allowed some of the most amazing home and yard masterpieces anywhere. Not many shards have it and the ones that do have a smaller yard size than we do.
This item has been abused since it was added years ago. This problem has been addressed over and over. I read the rules again today and they seem very understandable to me.
There are 3 common violations.
Yard items more than 10 tiles from the house. There are several ways to get them more than the tool allows. It does not matter how it got more than 10, it is not allowed and must be removed please. "I did not know it" Good excuse? NO! Please fix these items.
Yard items built above ground level or items floating in the air. "But someone else does it" Good excuse? NO! Please fix them.
Balconies larger than 2 tiles out and 5 tiles long. This only takes 1 hand to count.
Each of these have been addressed many times.
Many of these violations are not an issue of looking bad. Many are very beautiful. But if we allow beautiful to violate the rules, we must allow ugly to also do it.
I am not talking only to newer players. I am talking to all players. If your yard stuff is not right, please fix it if it has been in place for 2 days or 2 years. If it is wrong, please fix it.
Most of these issues you can blame on me. One person does it. It looks good and I overlook it. The next person see the first and does similar. Now I have to overlook second because I like the way the first one looks. This has got out of hand. I will grant that there may be a few items that are wrong and it is not known. But I am not of such low smarts to believe the hundreds of items that are not placed correctly are all unknown.
If your yard stuff is not legal, please don't take offense to this that I am picking on you. I am picking on tons of folks. I did a bit of running around today. 3 of the first 5 houses I went to had illegal yard items. Not little 1 item bloops. These were all large and blantant to see.
There are almost 1000 houses. If 1% had problems, I could talk to them all and we could get it fixed. If 10% had problems, that is too many to talk to everyone in a PM. And we are at that 10% level. So I am talking to everyone as best I can on this.
Here is something I have learned. Now that everyone has been alerted to the issues and given the opportunity to fix things, if I came and delete something, there are 2 responses I will get. If you have had any issues with me or staff, then I am picking on you. I expect this. If you have never had an issue with me or staff, you will admit it was wrong and life will go on.
If some pieces of yard deco disappears in the very near future, please make sure it was truly legal before complaining to me. Please ask. Was it more than 10 tiles from the house? Was it above ground level.
Oh Oh! What is Ground Level? My math teacher proved that 1 + 1 = 3. I am sure there are folks that can rationalize some items 60 ticks up as being ground level. I guarantee this will come up.
Please fix these items before I have to be the bad guy.
