FAQ

Why does Ricky Global not reply to Direct Messages (DMs)?
Our direct messages are reserved for official exchanges between other global fanbases. This is to reduce the clutter, however, we also use our DMs to discuss projects with fans, as well as provide assistance when needed. We have a CuriousCat set up for communication regarding other matters.Why does Ricky Global switch off replies on Tweets?
This is to make the Tweet look neater and more presentable. We have no ill intentions when closing replies.Why does Ricky Global not prioritize hashtag parties?
While we agree that trending hashtags contribute to Ricky’s exposure to non-fans, we believe that streaming and voting are far more beneficial for him. Streaming fancams will increase views, and most voting polls’ rewards are ads. These leave a greater impression on non-fans than his name trending on Twitter. Additionally, being strong at both streaming and voting allows us to obtain collabs easily (if needed).Why is Ricky Global sometimes slow in updating?
Though we’ve hired more SNS moderators (who all live in different timezones), this is a voluntary position and all moderators have lives outside of Ricky Global, additionally some have long term health conditions..
