Feature Updates
Wednesday January 13th
We're making a number of updates to game features this month, to make the game fairer and more enjoyable for everyone. The changes address a number of places where we discovered that game features have been used in unintended ways by some players, often to gain an unfair advantage.

It's likely that most players won't notice the changes too much, and you don't need to take any action.
The changes are just listed here for information purposes.
Picture
Blocking
Blocking now only blocks messaging between players, and no longer blocks watering ability. In very exceptional circumstances, you can still completely block someone using a "Super Block". 

Blocking is an important feature intended for protecting yourself from harassment or unwanted messages.
While very rare in this game, it can happen.

However, some players unfortunately began using this feature as part of gameplay, which has been spoiling
the game for many players, who would find themselves blocked from watering for no reason, sometimes even
in the middle of spending a lot of Gold trying to spot wildlife.

We have therefore made changes such that blocking now applies to messages only. This means that when you block someone, you will not be able to send/receive messages with them and can therefore fully protect yourself from unwanted communication. You are welcome to use the feature freely without any restriction, as often
as you like, including for reasons other than harassment (for example, maybe someone has a religious or
political profile picture which you don't want appearing in your Garden.) However you can still continue
to water each others Gardens, so this new blocking style cannot be misused for gameplay reasons.

All existing blocks are still in place and have automatically been converted to this new style of 'messaging block'

In addition, there is also the ability to upgrade a block to a "Super Block". This is a complete and total block, similar to the old style block, so you cannot even visit each others' Gardens within the game. A Super Block can never be removed, not even by support. It's unlikely you will ever need to use this, however it's provided for use
in exceptionally rare instances where you really don't want someone to even water your Garden. To prevent misuse, you are limited to using this a maximum of 5 times, and after that it would cost increasing amounts of Gold to Super Block (note: regular blocking is always free and unlimited, so you can always protect yourself
from unwanted messages.)

Public Mode / Friends-Only Mode
"Private" mode has been renamed to "Friends-Only Mode", and it's now only possible to switch to friends-only mode once per month at most. You can also choose whether or not you want to allow "friends-only" mode
players to water your Garden.

The "Private Garden" feature is intended for players who just wish to play the game with their Facebook
friends (not publicly) and is meant to be used as a permanent mode of playing, not something which is
switched in and out of frequently.

We have renamed "Private" mode to "Friends-only" mode, which better describes its intention.
You can only switch to this mode once every 30 days at most. In addition, players in Public mode can now
choose whether or not they allow "Friends-only" mode players to visit and water their Garden.

The game also now displays whether a Garden is in "Public" or "Friends-only" mode under the "Garden Description" section, along with an explanation of what this mode means (for the avoidance of doubt, "Public" means that Garden welcomes any player to water at any time, and compete freely with each other to spot wildlife.)

Freezing
You can now only freeze your Garden if nobody has watered in the past minute, or if you have empty feeding tables.

The "Freeze Garden" feature is intended for use if you are going to be away for a few days and don't want your Garden to run out of food. Unfortunately, the feature was being misused by some players as part of gameplay and other players were becoming frustrated at being suddenly frozen out of a garden after spending a lot of Gold 'stalking' wildlife.

The new rule is that you can only freeze if nobody has watered in the last 60 seconds (or alternatively, if you have no food out in your garden.)

Combined with the changes to the blocking feature, this means that when you are actively 'stalking' wildlife, you can be much more confident that you won't lose your Gold by being frozen out or blocked for no reason, as long as either you or another player has watered in the past minute.

Inauthentic Accounts
Inauthentic accounts (accounts which are not genuinely playing the game, but are just being used by another
player to gain a gameplay advantage) are not permitted, and we are working on removing the incentives which
have led to some players using them.

All accounts on the game must be authentically playing the game, and must not exist solely for the purpose of gaining an advantage on a player's main account.

We are discovering more and more inauthentic accounts being set up, and it's proving a difficult and time-consuming task for us to keep finding and banning them. The only practical solution is for us to remove the incentives which have been causing players to create them in the first place.

So far, we have identified and fixed the following issues:

  • The 'collect gold from friends' feature has been changed so you can now only collect your own Gold (so the same amount of Gold is still available overall, but every player now gets exactly the same amount, instead of some getting more and some getting less.) This is because we discovered a significant number of players running a large number of fake accounts which were being used for farming Gold via this feature. However please note that this change is just a 'quick fix' temporary measure - we are in the process of reviewing the way Gold is given out in the game and in the future plan to make it more quickly and easily available, instead of having multiple time-consuming ways of collecting very small amounts of Gold, such as this one. Stay tuned for these improvements coming soon :)
  • We discovered a glitch which meant Snails were appearing in Private (friends-only) Gardens, not just in Public Gardens (the "Find Gold" page has always stated that Snails will only appear in Public Gardens.) Some players had discovered this glitch and had set up extra 'private' gardens and allowed them to keep wilting to get regular extra Snail Gold. This issue has now been fixed, so snails now only appear in public Gardens as originally intended. Keeping extra private Gardens for the purpose of farming Snails will no longer work.

We are actively assessing the other reasons why inauthentic accounts are being used on the game and will make changes to address those too, until this issue is resolved.

Messages
 Players who misuse the game's messaging features in any way will face stricter consequences.

It is never permitted to use any of the messaging features in the game to try and influence how others play, for example by intimidating them into not watering so either yourself or another player can more easily spot wildlife.

The golden rule is (and has always been) that in any Public Garden, all players can water freely and compete freely
to spot wildlife. No player is permitted to try and influence how others play using messaging.

Players posting any kind of message which attempts this will with be issued with a warning in the first instance,
just in case they were not aware of the rules. This will be a clear, unambiguous explanation of the issue, and will
also explain the consequences if inappropriate messages are posted again. If the player decides to ignore this warning and the issue happens again, then they will face further restrictions, such as a temporary suspension
from the game, or their ability to post messages in the game being revoked.

To help us enforce the game rules, we ask that all players please report any instances where they notice others misusing the messaging features in the game, and our game moderators will take the appropriate action.
