Our staff team has come to the decision to temporarily lock its comment section. There is an absurd amount of threads on this page that are not aligned with the purpose of the page (trading), and we have been receiving a plethora of extremely valid complaints from frustrated traders about such.

We have tried to issue warnings before, which have been ignored, so this is what we've come up with as a punishment and to raise awareness about the problems we and many other users have been having with the page.

The Promo Pets page is only for:

- Trading (asking for trades, looking for pets to trade for)

- Asking for help/opinions on worths

The Promo Pets page is not for:

- Letting people know when the "Pets Only" or "Play as Your Pet" party is on

- Posting NFT pets (to flex, photos with friends/in your den, pet memes, etc)

- Posting about scammers/being scammed

- Looking for people to draw your pets/posting pet art

- Posting Rare Member Phantoms, they belong on the Pets page

- Literally any other non promo pet trading related talk you can think of

- Talking about any different topic and adding "ps.. i have this pet for trade so im not off topic"

If you want to talk about any of the aforementioned topics, a great place most of those is the Animal Jam Talk board (or Art Discussion for art-related) in the forums section or yours/a friend's message wall, not the Promo Pets page.

Punishments from here on will be stricter/more severe. We will start employing the Block Policy and giving temporary blocks to people who do not abide by these rules.

Fandom currently doesn't offer an option for us to lock comments on a specific page, so we can either lock all pages, or no pages. This means that all the comments on pages will be temporarily locked.

Q: How long will this be for?

A: Somewhere between 24 and 48 hours.

Q: Isn't this unfair to the people who don't use the Promo Pets page?

A: In short, yeah. That said, the Promo Pets page has more views than any page by a factor of at least 3. This is only for a maximum of 2 days and the locking of pages is designed to make people stop and look at this announcement.

Q: If you guys could just lock comments on the Promo Pets page, would you just do that?

A: Yeah.

We hope this reduces/irradicates all of the non-related content and that this will be the only time we ever need to so. We apologise for any inconvenience caused to non-infringing members of this Wiki.
