I find it silly that you can't tell Artists that they are doing artwork for someone who was banned from the site. Its like "Hey, that guy was banned like, a year ago. Just an FYI." and then later you get warned for it. I mean ah well, I guess it counts as some form of harassment but still... I haven't bothered with it any further of course, and now that I got my warning, its not like I plan to continue or anything.

I remember many years back when you could warn people of artists who were scammers and the like but now you can't. Its actually wrong to protect the customer on FA now. If you have an artist who rips you off, you can't say jack shit about it. Now thats horribly wrong. I would get it if an artist was being targeted by fake bewares and such and that should be dealt with but if an artist legitimately was a fraud, you should be allowed to warn people about them to stop falling victim to them. All those years ago I used to see artist bewares a lot. Now none at all. I wonder how many people have been scammed because of this anti-harassment "protect the bad people" rule.

I seen a lot of changes to this site over the last 15 years I've been a part of it. I remember back when it was like, HTML 1.0. xD I made an array of script CSS that changed the theme dynamically way back for people who wanted a green FA or a purple one or a red one. Much harder to do now though. Plus the rules and such have changed a lot. Especially lately with all the hypersensitive kids these days who were coddled too much by mommy and daddy. Back in my day spankings and the like were still allowed and taught you to not be an entitled little shit that would fall apart and have a meltdown at the slightest of anything! Now days, you have to be told how special you are and everyone's required to be nice under all circumstances. :| Must protect people's feewings because they can't be controlled anymore! Its sad that we need these rules these days, to keep some kid from seeing something possibly slightly offensive because he can't handle it and will summon the Karen squad to battle the forces of "evil" (send a hundred trouble tickets till a staffer does something about it). Whats the world come to.

Literally everything seems to be getting worse as I get older. I'm 32 and I already hate everything. I see people around me getting dumber, corporations taking advantage of the stupidity and helping make people dumber, software getting worse, hardware getting worse, people becoming crazy in their ideals and beliefs. It won't be long before we have some kind of civil war, left versus right, because we have become so divided, so stupid, we can't control ourselves anymore, and corporations just sit there taking advantage of it all.

To go in line with this, a lot of the rules I've seen in the last few years go along with taking sides, banning them evil rightwingers who post anything in support of a particular ex-president. Also anyone who says anything that a leftwinger might find remotely offensive. I like being centered, but often times people see me as closer to the right than the left, because the left has become so violently stupid and extreme that I can't stand them. This site, has become very left. This is a furry site, it shouldn't be on either side of the bar. It needs to be center, give a middle finger to those fucking leftwing nutjobs who demand you ban this or that because it offends them. Tell them to fuck themselves. Ban anyone who actively supports aggression and harm but don't ban people who simply make statements that offend some little kid. Also, if you're in your 20s and you get offended super easily, you're still a kid in my book. When you grow a pair, then we'll talk. But yea, you may notice I don't participate much on FA anymore, because its become fairly left, and their rules support only those of the left thinking.

Granted, this time I was in the wrong, but, only slightly as I was just letting artists know that they were doing something for someone who I thought was permanently removed from the site. It wasn't some harassment attempt or anything, just a friendly heads up to those artists, but whatever. It still reminds me of how much the rules have shifted on the site though. How we used to be able to do bewares and the like. Boy how times change.

I wonder how you're supposed to tell people you've been scammed by an artist on here now. :|
