Good day everyone. As you may know, we recently sent out a newsletter addressing some policy changes for the site and updates to the Terms of Service, namely that InkedFur will no longer be allowing artwork depicting minor characters in adult situations. In the ToS, we are also adding a note that InkedFur is not organizationally responsible to warn creators about the potential content uploaded to the site by other creators. The responsibility to research the content present on the site falls on potential users, as it is infeasible for InkedFur to provide personalized content warnings. However, the ToS does now include a brief summary of themes which may be found on the site, for quick reference.
There have been complaints made that InkedFur was concealing the presence of drawn adult situations containing minor characters on the site. This is not true and was never the intent of InkedFur or the staff. We apologize sincerely for any offense or alarm caused to any users or creators by our allowing of this content. It is our hope that the changes to our Terms of Service will allow users to avoid running into similar situations in the future.
After much discussion with our creators and our staff, we feel that such content falls well within our stance on other potentially illegal material. This is in no way meant to be an indictment or moral judgement upon the community that enjoys such material. We are looking to close any potential for our staff or customers to be criminally charged for content on our website. Later, we will be able to expand what we allow once we get the new website working with advanced filters, some set to default, much like how e621 operates.
At current, our staff is going through the content uploaded to InkedFur by hand in order to remove the content that has been determined to be objectionable. We apologize for the time this may take, as our limited staff is having to perform this clean up on an item by item basis. In the mean time, if you find material that you feel we may have missed, please notify us via email at staff@inkedfur.com. This will aid us in bringing a service that is more comfortable to the fandom at large as quickly as possible. We note that some items had previously been incorrectly labeled and will be staying on the site with the correct tags and descriptions as per the creator's intentions. We again apologize for any inconvenience or discomfort that this situation may have caused.
Also of note, InkedFur is currently undergoing some staff shuffling. More on that as things are finalized.
