Syntax/u>/iMake Petition/u>/ido so that is guaranteed to be seen.

To create a petition simply type make petition/u>/ipossible types are bug, suggestion, request, renovate and missive.

Description puts you in an editor to write your petition and when you’re done
typing, done will complete and send it. Petitions will last forever until a
staffer sets them as resolved or dismissed, and then will last for a further 5
or so days after that.

Note: Staff often gets a hundred or more petitions a week, of these most will
end up dismissed. For instance 90% of bug reports are not actually bugs, but
just someone misunderstanding/misusing code or plain not liking something.
Because of the very high noise-to-signal ratio it’s inevitable that some
legitimate petitions will be overlooked, and we apologize in advance for these
situations.

Note on Bugs: Most bug reports, even for real bugs are generally written in a
fairly bad way. If you’d like your issue to have a high chance of being
investigated and fixed, you need to be clear and concise, give all character
names where relevant and report the bug in a way that’s reproducible. It’s very
common for someone to report a bug as simply X doesn’t work, then a staffer
tries it and it works fine and the issue is dismissed. Even though there may
well be a bug, but it’s that it only occurs in certain circumstances which they
weren’t informed of. With enough time staff can fix essentially any bug as long
as it’s reliably reproducible.

Renovate petition types are applications to be given ownership of a property and
a special flag allowing for free decoration up until the first rental payment,
which will also be free. These are granted when someone makes a solid argument
for wanting to change an existing property into something more in theme or
appropriate to the setting and should include the problems with the existing
property as well as the proposed changes.

Missive petitions allow you to request specific NPCs or leaders of in-world
organizations to send you some official communication.
