Update at the bottom.


The following still appears on the front page of Furaffinity:

We've been working to honestly assess the site’s shortcomings, and make changes that benefit you, our community.

In the past, FA had struggled with administrator inaction, bias, and a lack of accountability, which had led to some serious problems. Now we're working together with a new site co-owner and a dedicated administration team, determined to improve user support. We know that words are not enough, so it’s time to take action to make Fur Affinity the art community which you deserve.

In order to serve your needs more effectively, we have assigned administration teams to handle the different submission types. Traditional and digital artwork issues will be handled by a specialized team, and the same holds true for audio, written work, and photography. We also have a dedicated team of site support administrators to handle day-to-day activity and behavioral issues to ensure a better experience for all all of you.

Additionally, we have written a new Staff Code Of Conduct which outlines requirements that all staff must adhere to.

We truly want to fix the issues, and we're working toward a better Fur Affinity.

Well, I have news for everyone. FA has not changed.

I posted a graphic saying "Antheria Kills Wolves?" and a long submission comment talking about the experiences I had trying to get in touch with anyone on Antheria staff to ask about promoting the rally there. The information I found was startling, including the person listed on the business license refusing to acknowledge that he even knows what the convention is, and the website listing a Washington address for the business, rather than its registered actual address. I related only facts. Yet FA took it down and said it was "libel and slander." I emailed them 6 hours ago asking them to reinstate the post and lift the account suspension because it is not libel. It relates facts of my experience; that those facts happen to make the convention look bad is not my fault.

I have not heard back from them.

Perhaps you should link this journal in your page so others can read about how Furaffinity just hasn't changed one bit. Perhaps people need to know its time to jump ship, and find a furry at hosting site that actually cares about the people it serves, rather than their friends-of-the-moment admins and staff. I think its high time furries started standing up to this bullshit, don't you?


Update: FA did respond to my trouble ticket about Smash harassing me again. They actually took down his comments, his page, and suspended that account (though I wish they'd ban all of his accounts, he's violated the ban avoidance thing 4 times at least.)

But still no word on the other.
