What do you mean I've been blocked? I was reported for harassment? But, I didn't do anything wrong! I just sprinkled!! Rules? What rules? Whose rules? Posted where? I just wanted to spot a critter! I spent my own gold! Noooooo.......I want my lawyer!

Some gardeners get a bit prickly at times

No Water Fights! No private Gardens! Virgins Only! No Swooping! You're watering too slow, something will get missed! You're watering too fast, something will get missed! Now if only we REALLY had a referee to regulate this competitive sport!!

ALFF is not "for" rules or "against" rules. We believe everyone should play however they like.

That being said, some gardens will have rules. They are usually posted on the garden info, garden status, or the garden's back wall.
They are not official Fairyland rules, but rather they are requests a garden owner has for the actions of any garden visitors.
If you do not like or want to follow the posted rules, please remember that there are hundreds of thousands of active gardens in Fairyland,
and many are "No Rules" gardens! No Rules garden owners are thrilled to have you stop by!!
Please try and respect that when other players choose to have rules in "their" garden, it may be for many different reasons and just move on if you don't like the rules.
It's easy enough to find other gardens to water without causing stress or anxiety for the garden owners and yourself by going against their rules.
Some will even block you for breaking their rules. There are no official referees in Fairyland, but you can always report a post or another
Fairylander to the game's developer should you face harassment , spam, or abuse.

Here are some of the rules Fairyland players have created and their meanings:

No rules

In these gardens, players do not have any rules they want you to follow. You can do whatever you want, spot as many critters as you want, etc.

No blanket watering

This term is no longer applicable with the changes made on 01/17/11 as now you can water every single second. But it had meant you are not allowed to water all or most plants at once because it used to mean if all of the plants are watered at the same time, some wildlife could get missed since some of them only stay in the garden less than 5 minutes. It also stopped other players watering for 5 minutes. Again, this is no longer an issue.

Leave a message when finding wildlife/visiting

It means a player wants you to leave a message if you visit their garden or find their wildlife. Some players find it rude if you don't thank them when finding wildlife in their garden, so it's a good idea to always leave a message after spotting something.

Virgins only/Virgin friendly garden

It means a garden owner wants to offer an opportunity for players who have not found a particular wildlife yet to find it easier. If you already have that particular wildlife, you are expected to stand back if another player who hasn't found that wildlife yet is in the garden, and allow them to water freely.

No private gardeners

It means if your garden is private, you are not allowed to water in this garden. Some players feel it's unfair if they don't have a chance to water in your garden when you can water in theirs.

Don't DD plants

It means a player does not want their plants diamond dusted by other players. Some players like to plan their gardens far ahead and dusting plants means their plants get to 'Fully Grown' at the wrong times. It might ruin the planning, so it's always a good idea to ask whether the player would like some dust on plants before dusting, even if they don't have this rule posted.

No double dipping

It means a player does not want you to try again and check the second plate after finding one wildlife. In busy gardens, wildlife won't get missed, but if your garden is quiet and you have this rule, it might mean some of your wildlife won't get spotted.

No swooping

There are a few interpretations of this rule and it's best to ask the player what he/she means by putting it there. Usually, it means you are not allowed to start watering after other players have been there trying to get wildlife for awhile. Some players set specific limits, like no new waterers after 1:50 on a fresh plate of Organic food.

Sometimes things like 'Swooping' can upset the nicest of players!!!

The Good Fairy

I am a good fairy, I abide by every rule
I went to all my classes, at my junior fairy school

I wait in line to sprinkle, and never,ever push
I only water one plant, I'm never in a rush

To blanket water is a sin, or so I have been told
its discourteous to other fairies, and wastes all of your gold

I leave a little message, and sign it with a kiss
because to splash and not to, is really quite amiss

I'm ever grateful for what I find, Even a single diamond critter
so what if I miss a badger, I'm never, ever bitter

And as for swooping, Oh my dear, it really wouldn’t do
to steal someone elses unicorn, what a hullabaloo!

I am a really good fairy,and of that I'm very proud
being nice, polite & thoughtful, makes me stand out in a crowd.

The Bad Fairy

I am a bad fairy, because 'nice' I'm surely not
of rules & regulations, I do not give a jot!

I love to blanket water, so no other fairy can
and I always get the critter, so I don't give a damn

And why SHOULD I leave a message, Just to be 'SWEET & NICE'
why should I bloody thank you, when all I find are mice

Swooping is my middle name, I think its oh so great
to upset the other fairies, for me they surely hate

I'll steal the virgins unicorn, so what if I've got lots
you gonna complain about it? I'll smash all of your pots!

I'll trample on your flowers, and that’s not all I'll do
I'll block you from my 'fairy friends', set fire to your mushroom too

I am a REALLY bad fairy, so now you have been told
I'll claim all of your diamonds, and steal all of your gold!
