Removal of cub porn, part 2 (request for backups)
15 years ago
General
Admins haven't decided yet if they should remove porn with feral cubs or not, but one particular admin, who has done some funny things in the past, did it again. My gallery is wiped out. (As far as I know, admins ban for mentioning their names in the journals, so I'll better leave the name out.)
I know there's a very little chance, but I'll still ask...
Does anyone have backups of my gallery?
I was stupid. I haven't backuped anything myself. Now all comments, all descriptions, all pictures, all tags, as well as all favs and views are gone. Okay, I can restore pictures in time (if admins decide feral cubs are allowed after all), but precious comments are gone forever.
Let's have a minute of silence.

FA+

And of course, I don't have any backups (except the two last pages that you probably have, too).
What two pages?
[3D_stereo, Cub] But Zazu! She'\''s MY friend! by kinky-romance -- Fur Affinity [dot] net.html
[Cub] There'\''s room for both friends by kinky-romance -- Fur Affinity [dot] net.html
And not much comments there.

Sorry to hear about your lost stuff. :<
About feral cubs, I think this admin has broken the rules. It says in the AUP that only "human-like" characters are not allowed. Have you told dragoneer yet? I'm sure you are entitled to complain about this admin.
Btw, I just finished making a PKZIP of all your feral cub pics. I don't know if I have them all but I sure have most of them. Are you going to upload them somewhere else in the meantime? By the way, can you post your e-mail address so I can send them to you?
Admins don't care. She has been suspended in the past for her inappropriate admin actions (or something like this), nothing has changed. Of course, I'll complain to Dragoneer if feral cubs are allowed after all, but I seriously doubt anything will change. I'm used to this, it's always this way; either you accept who admins are, or find some other place. And it happens quite often when great places have terrible admins. Live with that, survive the way you can. Nothing will change. A lot of other people are worth being here.
I've proposed a technical solution to the problem on the forum: http://forums.furaffinity.net/threa.....-admin-actions Please comment there if agree.
A recent hack attack was based on a trivial or shared password of some of the admins, or something like this (don't you read the news? :) ). One of the persons who got access to the admin tools decided it'll be fun to wipe galleries of the most popular artists like Zen, Fisk etc. Dragoneer's gallery was wiped out during this attack too. (Stupid hackers. There were much more funny things to do! You know, like downloading private notes of every user on the site, then sharing the archive...)
P.S. Please don't reply to your own comments, I don't get notifications this way. If you want me to read them, reply either to the "root" (journal or submission) or one of my comments.
I did hear about the attack but I don't really know the details. I heard some notes were leaked but I though Neer deleted his own gallery.
Ok, I'll remember that in future. :)
By the way, I just wrote a note to pinkuh about what happened. Lets hope all goes well.
thats bad business and abuse of admin powers if you ask me.
this was long before the attack though, and before the banning of cub art, though the same admin in question leaked info onto their LJ (i think it was LJ) and intentionally stirred drama before the ban came into effect. also not admin-worthy antics.
It's a common faulty practice of FA administration. As stupid as it is, admins often post this kind of shouts "to avoid drama". That is, so that people couldn't post bad things while a banned person can't reply. Of course, if you post good things, you'll be banned too, but no one cares.
During banning of Drages I've also found out that mentioning ANY user's name in your journal could result in the journal being removed, if the mentioned user reports you. Basically that means you can't mention anybody's name at all.
For me, it's a whole new level of FUBAR moderating.
Also, SoFurry is slooow... And it's historically more adapted to stories, not pictures. I don't see many artists there.
shit it even says in the rules they are allowed for now, and then they go wipe a gallery, and your supose to get a warning too, this is indeed just to fuck with you nothing more and nothing less.
but shit >.< gah....Fa,s falling apart...seriesly.
Dragoneer really has to do something about abusive and/or incompetent admins. :/
I'd recommend you to move to Inkbunny or SoFurry until the current mess here has been fixed.
I'd prefer to wait for decision on feral cubs.
