This thread is here to show off your Retired Coats. This is not the place to post non retired coats. **The two exceptions would be coats that have been pulled (brief discussions) and the pre release coats.

REMEMBER:

******** absolutely no sales talk, no talk about spares or how many extras of a copy you got and selling them to fund your RC habit this is just a place to talk RCs

* although links and graphics are ok on this thread, they are not allowed normally on public forums

* any negative or unkind comments on artists or coats (or anyone!) will be removed, and depending on the case, it might mean an instant forum ban.

* DO NOT use this as a place to sell your horse/coats-if you feel the need to break this rule, it will mean an instant forum ban...

** Sales ads are NOT allowed in any public forums. Asking for spare coats will now be considered a sales ad. This includes stating that you plan to sell a coat, or point out coats for sale in sales.

* Do not use this place as a spot for rants or complaints-About coats/BG/or each other.

* This is not the place to ask players to price your coats, or to ask others the worth of a coat, you can check uses on your own by hovering your mouse over the gray apple and price it from there.

* This is not the place to bring up the subject of stolen images. Keep in mind that the rules of the BP used to be very different, and many old coats are from that time.
There is not any reason to bring that up, or report the coats.

*Please do not do a coat countdown for soon to retire coats.

* Please do not post coats that are currently in the GA and have either not retired, or will never retire.

* Please do not post coat/bg combos or ask opinions on them, except following coat release.

* Some coats may be removed in the future, whether that be for problems with the coats itself or just because they're clearing room on the server to allow other coats to be uploaded - if you're buying retired coats, please keep that in mind. If you want a permanent copy, I would recommend saving the graphic to your computer

* How to discover who many uses a New GC coat will retire-There is now a coat countdown in the GA, and it will show how many have been used and how many uses there are left.

** There is now a new creations directory which shows all coats. Go to Community>>>Directories>>>Creations>>>Click more criteria, and on the left hand side is a gold and silver apple. Click the silver apple and search to see all retired coats.

* To see who created/how many uses/name/or if you have it already of a RC coat, simply click on the silver apple, and it will tell you.

*** Posting links to other player's coats is NOT allowed and can mean a forum ban.

*#*#*#* If players feel the need break the main topic rules, such as sales ads/coat countdowns/spares-you can expect an instant forum ban without any warning prior to it *#*#*#*

Lol omg I love that snail one!
I love bug coats and regretfully don't have that many of them. Something to prioritize in the future, I guess!

I don't have many bug coats - they mustn't have been as common when I was more actively collecting here...

Had a coat removed this morning.
I think it was released in the last few months. A 100 copy coat

Why does the howrse team only remove these coats AFTER they've been added to the game? A golden apple doesn't seem like a fair compensation for the players who bought it in direct sales for possibly 500+ passes.

Surely the coats should be screened more thoroughly prior to being added. I understand the coats which are perhaps removed many years later but the fact that three recent (ish) coats have been removed in the past few months is a bit negligent..

We don't know what methods they use to check the coats though.

This issue is why I wish coat releases weren't monthly. Less release frequency would provide more time to check the coats. There are a fair number of coats that get through each month, and only 11ish days between the closing of votes and release day. Probably less, because we do get a small coat preview posted on social media a few days before that, which indicates some coats have already been chosen before the actual release date.

Yes the old system, pre creation space, only saw the black pearl available periodically and then a long wait for the coats to be added, as I believe each one was checked prior by the team. Although obviously still there were issues around plagiarism, and of course the rules changed as originally photo manips were allowed.

Yes I believe it was two releases ago. I’m super disappointed in how Howrse handles this. If they aren’t going to take longer to MAKE SURE coats are good before releasing them, there needs to be better compensation I myself have paid 500+ passes for multiple coats that have ended up getting removed in the last few months. A single golden apple is unacceptable compensation.

Relating back to haffy's post I'm sure the Admins/staff used to check all the new coats thoroughly. That stopped when they introduced the players voting for coats. It was never said outright but I think they hoped that players would "police" the new coats/releases but there are now far too many new coats every month for that to be done.


There was a change to player voting quite a few years back, so we would have more days to vote for creations, and I remember it being said that coats wouldn't be checked/filtered nearly as much, or something similar. I think that has worked out to be quite the mess for us. We would definitely benefit from fewer releases and more thorough screening.
