1 in thread more than 2 on one ship? [Flags and Sails]
We currently have no plans for this.

1 in thread "The Whomper", would it pass? [Flags and Sails]
This is an instructive thread, where the community and 2DSC helped a sailmaker develop his design from something that would get rejected to something that easily fits within our 2D User Content Guidelines. The techniques and critiques would appear to be applicable here

1 in thread Flag rejection explanation [Flags and Sails]
Just took a peek at your flag -- look very carefully along the right edge, against a white or other light-colored background. There's a bit of a line there. Right now I can't check your flag thoroughly but you'll want to be sure any areas that are supposed to have holes in them are 100% transparent; some of the spots on the right are not, and that may be carrying through to other parts of your design as well.

It's a great flag though and otherwise perfect!

1 in thread Bigpond User Content [Flags and Sails]
We are currently monitoring requests for content coming from Invincible, so even though the above steps will not solve the issue for subscribers yet, it should help us diagnose just where things are going amiss.

Thank you for helping and updating your support tickets!

Yes, support for Invincible is coming. It's a slight bit trickier, since they're separate, but the Data Service you will hit is going to merge the two sources so there's only one service to hit.

UC 2.0 is still under development. Unfortunately the same brains needed to code it keep getting pulled into other projects... like figuring out why UC doesn't work south of the Equator.

User Content approvals and rejections need to be handled by FLS staff for many reasons, among the biggest ones: accountability. You can't really fire or otherwise discipline a volunteer for breach of contract

We already have great ways for energetic volunteers to participate in the process, such as the 2D Steering Committee, the Boarding Party, and of course the routine encouragement and advice so many offer on a day-to-day basis.

1 in thread How long does it take? [Flags and Sails]
I've moved an effective sub-thread out of this one and into the one on User Content 2.0.
