Some new things,

New FAQ and Terms of Service

We're in the process of making the site more professional (...) and therefore we're in the process of writing up a Terms of Service which you must agree to! Also check out our FAQ for common questions like "How do I add HTML to my profile" and "I'm a worried parent, is this site safe for my child" :)

New Chat Moderators

We need three new chat moderators (Preferably one British and two American) as the site is growing in popularity rapidly recently.

You must:

• Have good grammar and not type like a faggot
• Be a chat regular, and know the rules.

If you meet these requirements then you can request a place by replying to this blog.

We'll have our usual 'Moderator Vote' in a few days and assign the new staff.

Group Invites + Alerts

They will now be removed from your alerts every day at 12am GMT.

You can still see all your group invites on your personal 'Group' dashboard (http://www.emoearth.com/user_group.php)

We'll also be limiting the 'Mass invite your friends' feature to only be used once every week.

Also, if you're getting alerts that aren't justified, please contact me. (This could be that it's telling you that you have a message when you don't.)

Polls Return

Polls are back, now totally optimized so they don't slow the site down like a beast. You can't explore browse polls yet, but I'll add that function ASAP

Forums

The forums should now be functional again, I somehow managed to mess the database up and create 66 identical forums which caused the site to go mental.

Points + Premium

The points system has been implemented again, obviously, and the shop will be open as soon as we work out a good amount to charge (people are getting points way too easily).

You'll be able to buy premium features (buying stuff doesn't deduct from your overall point value so your rank will not suffer)

If you're unsure how to earn points, then check out www.emoearth.com/topusers.php

Photo Uploads

Some people were complaining they couldn't upload a display photo, if this is your issue, then please contact me and I'll fix it immediately, it's a simple permission error.
