Regarding the new Policy Update
2 years ago
The worst thing about this entire thing is that chibi style art will also be banned even if characters are adults.
"Too cute" or "out of proportion" art will also flag for a permanent ban.
The thing is, when it comes to FICTIONAL characters, unless it is put into some sort of context - there really isn't any way to prove age, and using proportions as an indication that a character "might be" underage just means that super short ADULTS (which DO REALLY EXIST, I work with someone TWICE MY AGE who looks like a 10 year old both in overall appearance and her proportions) could end up creating a lot of false flags for content moderation.
It's really a flawed argument, since "aging up" changes the character from what it really is to something it isn't. No one can "age up" my co-worker and make her look any older, even though she's well into her 40s.
IMHO, this is a slippery slope and will lead to a vast majority of artwork of Pokemon/Digimon - and any character based on any of these creatures (like mine) - will be flagged as a violation of the new rules, even though the characters are actually adults.
This also may begin to target ALL ABDL content in the future.
Knowing how the admins are on this site - there will be accounts that more than likely will vanish for no good reason, simply because I have personally seen the mods not be FAIR OR UNBIASED in their decisions about such things.
One of those mods ACTUALLY BANNED ME before for merely having information about my own website projects, including Drako's Den, listed on my profile information. (I was literally banned for running a "competing service" and they found out.)
I had to literally chase down Dragoneer at a con to raise my concerns because I was not offered any appeals by that admin (Literally fully locked from the website) -- and he decided that the admin had way overstepped their bounds because I had not actually done anything in violation of the sites rules. (The ban also ended up happening after they met me and simply disagreed with a viewpoint I had outside the website.)
That being said, I do not see this rule change as a good thing and will no longer have ANY ABDL content on FA.
I will continue to run Drako's Den - and users are invited to join me there to see ALL of the art of my fursona -- https://cutt.ly/drako
I am not making this decision lightly because I have had to remove nearly ALL of my gallery from this site, even though NONE of it violates ANY laws simply due to at least one admin deciding it violated some hidden rule. Most of the time, the art was still in line with the rules - but was a re-post due to it being a commission FOR ME. The mods ended up deleting EVERYTHING I had before 2007 due to "spam of similar art" in the past.
Therefore, I have ZERO faith in them being fair with these rule changes and will not give them anything else to use against me personally.
Find me on Drako's Den, feel free to post there too.
Seeing that I've already seen posts from at least 5 users stating that nearly ALL of their gallery has been flagged, I already see this being a breaking point.
Now maybe you all understand why I've never signed up for FA+ -- and now I never wll.
