Unusual moderation as of late?
14 years ago
Has anyone else felt that the FA mod team has been a little over zealous lately?
I've noticed a small number of people I watch have either, some submissions disappear or have been outright banned for extended periods of time, and other random things. Not all of these people know who did these things or why, but it would seem likely to be a mod or an administrator.
This has just happened recently, so I can only guess that either FA is cracking down now due to their site merger they have coming up, or there's a new group of Mods that are a little heavy handed with the rules.
I mean is this just me? Or have other people been seeing it too?
Edit: I should probably advertise my Inkbunny account on all of my journals now, in case things ever DO get so bad I have to switch over. Not that I'm really planning to.

If you're already watching me here, don't feel like you have to comment on cross submissions on both sites. :3

I did notice a LARGE number of journals disappearing last week, but some of the people I watch are major drama queens, so that doesn't mean the admins are responsible.
Oh god, I WISH they would bring the Almighty Stave of Deletion on these kinds of things. Thing is the admins here will neveroutright tell people how awful their art is, or you'd have half the FA userbase crying fursecution and leaving the site in droves.THIS POST HAS BEEN MODERATED BY FA STAFF, WHO REMIND YOU THAT ALL ART, NO MATTER HOW MANY JPEG ARTIFACTS AND TRACES IT CONTAINS, IS A CHERISHED AND BEAUTIFUL PIECE OF CULTURE THAT CONTRIBUTES TO THE FANDOM.
Someone mentioned an alt version of a picture on another site that they didn't put on FA in fear of being banned for an extended period of time.
I may switch soon also, but not yet.
