It has been 3 years since i last posted anything, and the recent decision by the admin team will not change that. Honestly how did they think the sudden change would leave them smelling of roses? i have seen people report that they have been told 'if it is cute, no nsfw' by the team. FA has been in decline for a while now, caused by poor management and lack of any significant developmental improvements to the site and its code. The sudden change done to the aup (located here in this journal https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/10552819 ) and the vagueness of its wording is NOT a step in the correct direction.
I would like to point out that at the time of writing this, they have NO list of characters involved, NO list of criteria, and have silenced on discord those who question why (if the forums still existed, they would have deleted their posts and banned them). A list SHOULD have been created for both of those criteria before this step was even put anywhere near being announced. It feels rushed, despite them claiming that it is a long time coming, rushed out to appease some snowflake Karens whos heads got too big for their wigs.
This change and the wording used, leave it SO open to missinterpretation that it will be severely mistreated and abused by people who should Never be able to do so. Many artists will now leave FA, some NEVER to return to any website where they can post their art, all because of a badly written journal and rule change.
It almost feels like when Musk took over twitter and fired all the staff, then blamed the users for why it suddenly turned into a royal shit show.
My personal content will remain off site, located on Sofurry or Inkbunny. I may even empty out my submissions here and relocate them elsewhere.
Sorry FA users, the Admins shat the bed, and now we must lay in it.
