A Solution Other Than Rage [A Change In Process]
a year ago
To everyone remaining on FA, rescind your money. Cancel FA+. If you donated to the GoFundMe, pull your donation. You didn't donate for Dragoneer's legacy to be this.
To Admins/Mods, there is a simple solution to all of this. It will require you to give grace, but without grace this site will shrink until it collapses.
Give Warning Before Ban
It's that simple. Someone uploaded something you didn't like? Give them one chance to remove it. If they do not comply, proceed.
But at least give them a chance to comply.
Until you do this (and rescind all bans made in the past few days because you gave nobody a chance to comply), then no-one will give you the grace to let this place continue under your care.

The bigger problem is that the things getting people banned are years, if not decades old uploads, and it's a "wake up banned" situation with no warnings and no chance to remove the content that for so long was perfectly fine. The screenshots of the ban reasons that are going around cite things not in the AUP or TOS, it's just admins making shit up for stuff they don't like.
