Carrie2 lol if only this came true but the best thing to do is just ignore each request no matter how annoying & often they maybe.

Epic Daria Make your own crew, and I doubt you get that many whisperchats, so just ignore it and move on.

kaleselak Epic Daria, there is an option to disable instant friending, so it is not far-fetched to add more communication options. There is no reason for you to be as abrasive as you are being, since it is a suggestion to further customize and possibly improve a player's experience depending on their preferences.
This is a feature requests page, so I requested something that would be nice but does not currently exist. That means if you like the idea, upvote it or agree with it so the technicians might take it into consideration. If you don't like the idea, downvote it, disagree with it with valid reasons, or "ignore it and move on". I wasn't asking for help or workarounds, and I certainly was not asking for your rudeness.

Epic Daria I like how you are specifically calling me out when a person before me pretty much said the same thing. Anyhow, I don't think I'm being rude in any way. I can kinda see the option to not get crew invites not a very bad option, as people can be annoying with invites when you're resident or zoe's club member, but that's all.
There is so much needed updates and improvements and this is not something needed to this game as people are already not talkative on a social game. If you don't want someone spamming you with messages, block them. If you don't want them to talk to you, ignore them when they whisper chat you. Not to mention, even that can be overlooked by simply coming to your avatar and using live chat. If you're so up for being alone, go to your condo. It has an option to lock it, so that only your friends can enter. Then go about your day. Considering how much spam emails those who are popular already get, never complaining and using their influence to request such options, it's funny how someone else would request it, especially when it all can be solved so easily with options I have given above.
So, hopefully these are valid enough reasons for you. If any technicians were to update ourworld settings, they should fix referral codes, and maybe up the security by allowing symbols and capitals letters to passwords.

kaleselak Epic Daria, I specifically called you out because the other commenter was not rude in any way, shape, or form, unlike you. You also don't get to decide if you come across as rude to others or not. Your original comment was nothing but rude from the jump.
"Make your own crew" How about I not have to spend the premium in-game currency that are gems on something I don't want to participate in and instead have the option to not receive invites for it?
"and I doubt you get that many whisper chats"... Seriously? How do you not see this as rude? This is just an unnecessary thing to say in general. The "ignore it move on" whatever IDC, fair enough, it's not that serious."There is so much needed updates and improvements"
I didn't say a single thing about any other needed updates, so why are you bringing them up? I didn't say this request should be put before anything else.
"as people are already not talkative on a social game."
OurWorld is not just a social game. "Play Games, Meet People, Look Good". It also has minigames and is a dress up game. Not everyone plays for the minigames, not everyone wants to socialize, and not everyone wants to collect items.
Not that it matters if you don't agree with the reasons that I play for, because at the end of the day, I'm still on the website and if I see or think of something that can be changed for possible improvement, I'm going to request it. And if other people agree with it, great, it might be added. If they don't, great, it won't be added.

I don't know why you keep suggesting numerous workarounds or other solutions. I did not ask for them.
" Considering how much spam emails those who are popular already get, never complaining and using their influence to request such options, it's funny how someone else would request it..."LOL Are only popular, influential members allowed to make feature requests? No. Does my "unpopularity", being someone else change my request? Also no.
Complaining? Where? I never complained. Here is the ENTIRETY of my original post;
"An option in communication settings to disable getting invited to crews and getting whisper chats from non-friends"Not a single complaint. A completely neutral and non-descript sentence.
Here's the title;
"DISABLE CREW INVITES/WHISPER CHATS FROM NON-FRIENDS"
No complaints here either, just a simple title to describe the content of the post.My thought process behind this request was not "this is really annoying i must complain!"
It was actually this - "I keep getting crew invites and whispers chats I don't want. Oh right, since the forum is gone, there might be a request section in zendesk. Oh sweet, I found it, it wouldn't hurt to just throw a little request in."
That's it. Literally just a suggestion." especially when it all can be solved so easily with options I have given above."
I never asked for anyone to give me solutions, so why do you keep doing so? I pretty clearly stated in my reply that I wasn't asking for help or workarounds, but merely putting in a request. This is a request in the feature request section, not the help section.
And no, they are not valid.
The closest thing you said that came to a valid reason was that there are other updates that would be more crucial to the game. Okay, great. In that case, it is still possible to do small stuff after the important updates.
Your other "reasons" were basically "people don't play this game how I want them to", "here's steps and options you don't need", and "you're not popular on an online game, so stop doing the complaining you never did."And uh... passwords do allow capital letters and symbols. Mine has both. Can't get in without 'em either.

Epic Daria Bruh.
I did said "I can kinda see the option to not get crew invites not a very bad option, as people can be annoying with invites when you're resident or zoe's club member" so yeah, I can agree to not having to spend gems on that.
Ok, now the "and I doubt you get that many whisper chats", how is it being rude if it's the truth. Try going to any location that's not a party event and stand there for 15 mins. By you I mean, generally any person, you or me or whatever someone, just standing in a location, the amount of people communicating has decreased. So how is getting let's say one or two whisper chats from someone is worth including entire function, when ourworld can't even fix marketplace. Unrelated but my point is that, if they are willing to take requests to change things, if it was that easy they would have done far more. Heh, got a bit sidetracked here, whoopsie :p
Since I'm kinda on the topic, indeed you never said anything about other improvements, yes, I just kinda included it as a part of entire topic of changing certain settings/options in ourworld ¯\_(ツ)_/On a certain point now I kinda see how it can be taken as a bunch of very personal opinions of mine, which would be wrong of me. So if it offended you, that wasn't really my goal here, maybe it's all pilled up on lack of actions from flowplay itself.
However this entire situation feels like, (an example) Bethesda (F76) fan asking for improved whisper chat color, when entire game is going down the dark path. At least your request doesn't seem as unreasonable as others have, so perhaps the fact that people fail to see what game is lacking over such small things to me seem ridiculous.
In reality, do you see any other people upvoting or joining the conversation? Doesn't mean flowplay doesn't get involved but it feels like it.
Also no need to get all defensive about people giving suggestions to avoid the problem you're having, or rather than a problem, discomfort. Obviously I'm just trying to help here, maybe not in the best of attitudes but that's all there is to it :p
Well lastly, maybe me calling it complaining was overdoing it, if so, my bad, sorries! I'm just trying to be helpful and include my opinion, if you (by you, I don't mean YOU, I mean anyone) were not allowed to do it, there would be no comment option.
So in all honesty, maybe I was a bit overly rude, then I'm indeed again, sorry. Looking at recent events feels to me like both flowplay and people don't care about the game as they used to do, that can be easily proved by as you said forum being gone.
As a side note, (promise the last thing I'm gonna say), if you want a certain option included or considered, it's best to just open a help ticket. They always get answered and looked at by those who need to, rather than, what, 3 people on this site? And then you don't get to hear from people like me who may trigger or offend you :p

kaleselak Overall, my main issue was not with the content of your comment but the way you said it, so thank you for the tentative apology.
I'm not going to go into any more specifics, I already do it enough ready for school.In the end, yes, ourWorld has a lot of room for improvement, but I personally think they have been presented with some major challenges that they need to focus on such as moving the website to Haxe before December 2020 while STILL maintaining regular item updates and also figuring out something new for the whole gambling/mystery box thing.
Thank you for telling me that, it is indeed useful to get a direct response from staff. And I certainly don't mind hearing from people who have opinions or thoughts that differ from mine and having discourse. -
Kawaii Chann I made this suggestion on the Forums once. It would be nice to have those options.
