Dear community,

I am sure that many of you have experienced recent changes in the behavior of our moderation system, which many of you call skinseedbot. I am writing to address this and to ask for your understanding.

As some of the early users know, I made Skinseed with my friend years ago when we could not find a Minecraft skins app that we enjoyed using. We wanted to build a community around the skins, the one that we were proud to be a part of.

However, we have recently been having an increasing influx of bad actors in the community. We added new team members and allocated a significant portion of our time to moderation but could not keep up. After days of deliberation, we are addressing this head on.

From now on, every skin posted will go through a human review. We project that the process will take from a few minutes to up to half a day for the next few days. We will be adding moderators, and we plan to aggressively cut this down to a few minutes maximum for most cases in the coming days.

We know this will bring many inconveniences, especially during the early days. We sincerely apologize for this. However, we firmly believe this is the best path forward. Once we get the community back to the form, we will speed up the development on other fronts. We hope you bear with us.

As always, please do let us know if you have any suggestions or feedback.

If anyone made it this far, thank you :)

The Alex Skins Issue

Hi,

Hope everybody is safe and doing well.

The Alex skins, aka the slim armed skins, are not working correctly with the current version of Minecraft Bedrock Edition, version 1.16.10. The left leg gets flipped horizontally.

While we are not aware of any official announcement from Mojang, we saw numerous bug reports regarding this issue on the website. We believe this is a temporary error, since even the skins from Mojang seem to be suffering from it.

We will let you know once we find out more about the issue, or once the issue gets resolved.

Thank you so much to dozens of people who took the time to let us know of the issue. If you have not received our reply yet, we are on it. We are a bit behind the emails at the moment :)

Stay healthy and be safe. Thank you!

Happy New Year

Hi Everyone!

It's been quite some time since we have posted anything. As the new year begins, we thought that it might be a good time to share some updates on what we have been up to, and what we are working on.

This message is quite long, so for those of us who are busy, below are the gist of it.

• Nothing will be shut down :)
• Messenger will be back ... soon.
• Updates are coming!

If you want the full version, here we go.

First thing first, we are not shutting down Skinseed. We are not shutting down the Skinseed Community neither. We know that there have been false rumors in the community, but we have no idea where they came from.

What we do know is that part of the responsibility lies on us because we indeed had a disastrous year in terms of technical support. We had lots of issues to take care of especially towards the end of 2018 and had been terrible with emails and communications.

One of our new year resolutions is to do better in this area. We are a small team and we do get quite a lot of emails so our messages could get very short and terse at times. But still, we will try to do our best, and be more prompt with the replies. We will also try to establish our presence on Twitter, Discord, and more this year. Finally!

Second, yes, we are working on bringing the Skinseed Messenger back. As some of you know, we took down the app after receiving a few complaints regarding explicit conversations being exchanged in the app. We care about these issues seriously. After trying for a while to moderate stuff to no avail, we decided to temporarily take down the app until we have the right tools.

We have been working very hard, and we believe we are almost there. It is a bit too early to give you an exact date, but we will try to repost the app to the App Store within a month or so. We truly, sincerely do apologize for the delays.

Last but not least, we are also working on minor redesigns of the Skinseed app itself. Internally, we are prototyping new features from more useful feeds to periodical rankings to badges. We will release some of the features over the course of the year. Please let us know if you have any ideas or suggestions.

Thank you so much for being with us. We truly hope every one of you a happy, happy new year 🎉

Thank you so much!

Jason, with the rest of the Skinseed Team :)
