Guess You're Stuck with Me Now!

I was just suspended from FurAffinity for an offensive picture I posted (leafs through notes)... uh, ten years ago. I'd tend to think the moderators should have tackled this ten years ago when the picture was actually posted, not wait until a decade later for the sake of spite, but hey, that's just me. I mean, if we're going to punish people for things they did ten years ago, maybe a certain purple dragon should get the boot for providing cover for Zaush's misdeeds, then hiring him as a lead coder despite him not knowing a lick of code. Oh wait, he's the site owner... that whole pesky "law and order" thing doesn't apply to you when you're in charge.

The point is, I'm no longer at FurAffinity. Maybe the suspension will last for a week, maybe I'll be out permanently. I'm not hugely surprised by this, and I'm not even that angry... just bemused. It seems exactly like something President Skroob would do, using a sledgehammer to squash a minor irritant. So I'll be hanging out here for the immediate future. Sorry, I guess I'm your problem now. You know who to blame.

By the way, I don't think I need to tell anyone here this, but I'd advise against giving the current tyrant owner of FurAffinity any support, be it subscriptions, advertising, or donations. He's got his kingdom of dirt; the medical expenses he can no longer afford by purchasing it is his problem.

I think health care in America is entirely screwed up and necessary medication shouldn't bankrupt you, but you know, sometimes two wrongs make a right.

I'd really like to know exactly what picture it was they got so triggered about so I can laugh at their stupidity XD

Happened to me a while back. I just deleted my entire gallery there afterwards, since there's no sense losing my entire watchlist and ability to comment over a gallery I no longer contribute to at all.

I think you use the InkBunny logo as your avatar over there, huh? Just a fun little jab in the ribs of the FA staff.

Correct. In hindsight it may have painted a target on me. >_>

It’s a Spaceballs reference. A character played by Mel Brooks.

Let's just say I'm not thrilled with the direction FA is currently going (read: down).

Yeah, they hunted pictures and journals from 13 years ago recently to ban me. They reversed the ban and I erased around a hundred pictures and journals to try to avoid the witch hunt again... but it means there is people hunting down old stuff for spite.

Someone over there is really, really not fond of babyfur art. I think even Tato got stung at one point, and she's one of the biggest names in this community.

if they keep this up FA is done for whoever doing that shouldn't be on FA and running it only to diss a type of art they don't like

not one person, an organization as far as I know (not a big one, likely a dozen in a forum somewhere)

How long did it take for them to reverse the ban, by the way?
Loupy
2 years, 11 months ago
with timezones, it took them a full day between my messages and the unban
FriskyWoods

Thanks for the information. I guess I'll have to give this another day; they suspended me on Tuesday.

"Diapers" are one of the things F-list was told to remove when they were looking to be paid for subscriptions. So I'm not at all surprised if, now that they're feeling more pressure for self-funding, they're swinging the axe on babyfurs.

That said, it's not clear to me that this particular suspension is related to that, judging by this bit of the work concerned. (I looked for a copy here, but it may be older than this account.)

The picture in question is Majorly Messy, Majorly Mad. I added the Dragoneer icon later to cover up the offending parts, as a passive-aggressive swipe at the management for its then recent ban of cub art. Probably heavy-handed, but it felt justified at the time.

I just got suspended there too. Whatever... 🤷‍♂️
FriskyWoods

Sounds like a lot of people have been clonked on the head with the ban hammer as of late. Interestingly, it happened shortly after Dragoneer regained control of the site...

Maybe he's trying to sell the site again? XD

Well, I'm probably going to see similar problems, but I stopped posting art there ages ago after I stopped trusting the site security. The staff noted me and mature tagged my entire gallery not that long ago, despite the fact I asked a mod what needs to be mature tagged when I first started posting there and the response for babyfur art was "diaper use is still general as long as it stays in the diaper". Wish I'd saved that note.
FriskyWoods

The moderation there is so random and arbitrary that I don't even think written proof from several years ago would help. They'd probably just say "that was then, this is now," then do whatever it is they feel like doing at the moment.
HydroFTT
2 years, 11 months ago
No that's true, I just mean to further point out the hypocrisy in enforcement. I doubt that mod is even still there, this was ages ago.
FriskyWoods

I was offered "clemency" by the FurAffinity staff, which deserves a rueful laugh. Clemency! I've been granted mercy for my crime of (looks at notes) posting a picture ten years ago and for the dunderheads at the site to raise objections to it a decade later! Who's running the appeals process over there, Cardassians?
HydroFTT

Did they ever even say what the rule was they're claiming was broken? I don't understand how a picture breaking a clearly-not-enforced rule justifying suspension 10 years later. I wouldn't be surprised if it's all just Dragoneer at this point.
FriskyWoods

He denies it. They said the usual... nudity, child character in a sexual situation, providing a link to the uncensored version, etc. etc. There was nudity, yes. The child character in a sexual situation is debatable; one was a diaper change picture with Byron visibly angry (and a Dragoneer Nazi covering up the crotch) and the other was Byron getting his temperature taken (with an Oscar Meyer wienermobile covering the actual wiener). I did provide a link to the InkBunny versions.

Again, it was ten years ago, around the time when FurAffinity decided that it no longer wanted to host cub art. If they felt it was inappropriate then, they should have taken action. Even just removing them with a notice would have been okay, but this felt like swatting a fly with a jackhammer.
HydroFTT

Yeah that's about what I was expecting. I wouldn't be surprised if it's some sort of new purge of anything questionable. I really wish they'd just enforce things consistently.

re: the FA journal: I didn't know FA *had* an appeals board. I made my case same as you and got told "nope, the decisions are always final, count yourself lucky we don't permaban you." and thought there was no way to get communication with anybody other than whichever mods already have a hate-on for us.
FriskyWoods

All I can say is that I'm sorry. If it's any consolation, it took days of negotiation with the moderators before they relented, and they did it in a really self-aggrandizing, condescending way. "Clemency" my ass.

folks after reading the friskwoods revolt i just say one thing, the exodus of several old furrafinity artists is happening due to and ignorant tyrant moderation and many are happy to be in inkibuny where artistic freedom is respected.
