    Hello there.

    I am making this thread, as the staff team has failed to act on my report! and are now promoting the island that are selling these inappropriate map arts in the skyblock discord and in in-game chat.

    These map arts are hugely disrespectful to women, as they are saying their breasts are their assets.
    Some of these images/map arts are rated 18+ on several websites and are even censored by google search!

    About 3 weeks ago i made a report, because i was made aware of some very inappropriate map arts.
    At first i reported the issue to krissy on discord privately, but later the same day made an official report here on forums.

    I was told by Krissy that the map arts was indeed breaking the rules, and that staff would likely take them down.

    Now 3 weeks later, with 39views on the report 0 comments(by staff), the map arts are still displayed at the island!

    Seriously WTF!

    I am so disappointed how the staff team can allow map arts like these to stay up for that long!

    THERE ARE KIDS PLAYING ON THE SERVER FFS!

    You did the right thing in reporting this.
    I can't fathom why staff haven't acted on it.
    Very glad my kids don't play this server any more.

    I've seen players banned for less offensive skins.

    Totally agree with you on that.

    Is there a possibility to put the posted images above inside a spoiler tag?

    Hi there! I apologize for your report not getting a response yet, just know it has not been ignored and we have been discussing this for a while now. The staff team has been discussing on how we will take action against these highly inappropriate map arts. We are taking this matter seriously as there have been many concerns lately by players since they are finding many questionable designs created by other users.

    To be clear the advertising of this island which has hundreds of maps from multiple different artists is not specifically after you reported as the sentence “and are now promoting that island” infers. The adverts have been running since the grand opening, I’m sorry you have a complaint about a specific set of maparts out of the many on this island. Had I been made aware by you or staff, I could have sorted this out. Had we been made aware that these maparts are against the rules we wouldn’t be selling them. Many staff and players have visited and explored our island and no one has said anything about them.

    Edit: It is also worth mentioning these maparts have been for sale long before they were on maparts and still no complaints or comments from staff or players.

    Thank you for responding. But i dont see hows theres much to discuss here, the maparts should have been taken down instantly, as they 18+ rated images on a game where young kids play. Krissy even said 3 weeks ago that they would be taken down.

    Seems to me that it haven't been taken as seriously as it should have been.

    If it helps I have instantly taken these down. There is now no issue to wait for staff over. See how easy it is when we communicate.

    You say
    The maparts are still against the rules as Krissy have confirmed. For staff or players not commenting on the maparts, thats just disappointing because they quite clearly break the rules, and especially staff should know this!

    About the whole promiting the island. I found it crazy that they would let it get advertised in the island-showcase knowing that the maparts still being displayed. And as Souly said they are aware but have not yet removed the maparts (for some reason). Young kids could and maybe have been exposed to these images!

    I appreciate you taken them down. But the issue isn't just with Maparts island, though thats where i saw them at first, these maparts are everywhere, and they need to be taken down.

    I understand you may wish to pursue this case further with staff about the delay in their actions but from my point of view I have solved your complaint. And again stress that many staff and players have seen and bought these maps without mentioning a word. So to now hear that these are as Souly states “highly inappropriate” is only due to a complaint. But again they have apparently been discussing this for a while. All I’m here to say is that the issue is solved with regards to my due diligence from my islands perspective.

    I would also like to briefly comment on what you said here. I would like to advise that these “asset” maparts were made by a woman, bought by women and openly discussed and praised by some women. It is everyone’s right to their opinion on these but id like to point out that generalising that this is “hugely disrespectful to women” is down to individual opinions and not a generalised statement. Personally I don’t like anime but I wouldn’t sit here and deny that some people do.

    Would like to take this time to... advertise escapist444's mapart!
    /visit quoken to purchase :D (all proceeds go to her)


    Also there are children who join skyblock everyday, and that cannot be avoided. Not only is gambling another issue, but inappropriate maparts have been a thing for a while now. I personally don't agree with them, but assuming the mods just didn't care one bit and accepted it, just never spoke up. Assumed it was OK.
    Yeah males/females can agree and support on boobs and semi nude mapart, but that still doesn't mean its right for kids.
    With these maparts in place, if it never gets reinforced, as a rule that currently exists. The server should have an 18+ tag on it.

    this is my opinion, children play on the server
    heh have a nice day. i support post​

    While I can understand staff needing to take some time to decide on punishments for players that create and display inappropriate map arts, as per the rules, I see any reason to delay in removing them.
    It only makes your job of tracking down sold map arts more difficult.

    If you’d care to see my previous comments I have removed them personally already but I appreciate your input.

    I wasn’t responding to your comments so that’s not really relevant.

    Your comment was to the status of staff removing them and then tracking down sold maps. It is relevant for me to let you know I have already removed them as per the complaint from dearss. The whole point of this thread. Relevant.

    No. My comment was regarding the staff delay in removing them which you haven’t and can’t address.
    And while you’ve removed yours, those that you sold still need to be found and removed.
