I'm not really surprised they tried to get you to do the work for them. Hell they didn't even say which pictures were the ones they wanted down right off the bat...

Yeah it reminds me of those asinine mind games adults tried to pull on me when I was little, where they'd say "You know what you did wrong, now tell me!" in the hopes that I'd confess to something unrelated so they could punish me for that too. Not surprising that FA admins are so drunk on their own power that they see the rest of us as children.

You can still find me on Inkbunny, where I don't get retarded preferential treatment, but I still like it better. Weird how that works.

And I'm pretty sure that they where ALL Tailsko pics....They do that, and don't remove the other pics, WTF.

You need to follow your own best judgement, of course. How soon are you closing your account?

I'm not deleting anything, it's too big of a hassle. I'm just not adding anything else to this place.

Okay, thanks.

CAN I HELP BURN THIS FUCKER DOWN!?
I like fire!

That's why they have administrator feedback. If you don't like how it was handled, bring it up to an admin that's higher than they are (namely Dragoneer). I don't blame you for wanting to leave over this, I might do the same. But don't let this kind of thing go unreported. It helps nobody :(

Apparently Echoen already went to him. Dragoneer replied "There is more to this story than was posted here."

So apparently I'm a liar, too, which is awesome. I would like to see what more there was to this story. Spoilers: There wasn't.

There is always more to every story. It doesn't make you a liar. It also doesn't make you wrong in this case. As long as it's been reported that's really the best you can do in this situation.

You know, that actually makes it worse, though. If there was more to the story, then it was on their end. That means they premeditated bothering me about it, suspending me for telling them to delete the pictures themselves, and proceeding to not solve the problem. Nothing really paints a better picture in this situation.

That's what might be "more to it" in this case - the fact that it was handled premeditatedly and poorly. I just hope something comes from it.

By the way I miss talking to ya, wish it could have been under better circumstances.

Hah! And here I thought you might've been kind of annoyed with me. Paranoia, what a country!

Not for any reason I can think of or remember o.o

"par a noia will destroy ya"

I do have one thing to ask?...... If the under age rule is dropped, would you come back? But any way, you know I'm over on Inkbunny watching you.

No. If the rule was lifted, that would just embolden the userbase that hates it, and I'd have to hear even more horseshit about it.

Well alrightly then, and I guess the same goes for DA too. But I'll miss you being over here, I see on IB........ oh wait, we have.

another reason why I hate the administration on FA, the only reason I'm still here and haven't moved 100% to another site is cause I like the community here.

What a coincidence, same reason I'm still a US citizen xD

lol XD exactly ^_^

I second this notion.

"We're sorry, the number you are trying to reach no longer gives a shit. Please cry in a corner then promptly masturbate to more of our furry porn from an alternative account, or try again at the designated time! We apologize for the inconvenience!"

Well I'm sorry that things turned out like this but I guess your reaction is to be expected, I'd probably go away myself if I was treated like that

But still, I guess I should get off my lazy ass and make an IB account then if I wish to still keep an eye on your stuff

It kinda sucks having to watch so many artists flock to inkbunny, it's the one location we can't go to here in my country.

Where is such a place?

Australia. I'm also wary of heading to inkbunny because I get warnings it contains child abuse material, and the police are currently wardriving and checking on stuff in the area -> http://www.smh.com.au/technology/se.....322-1vmof.html

They claim it's just to check for insecure wifi connections but the last time they did in 2009, they used it to break into connections and see what people were up to, and I don't really want to get busted for visiting a site that they believe holds child porn.

Man, what is up with Australia these days? Morality laws out the yin-yang.

No-one cares about us. When the USA has some controversial law like SOPA, everyone posts journals, it's all over the news etc, but we've got a laid back "she'll be right mate" attitude. When big stuff goes down here, our country just accepts it, and there's no journals, bugger all publicity etc, plus most people aren't even aware about the governments stance on furries and anthro art. In 2009 the Australian Government started looking into furry conventions and the biggest one (MiDFur) here and found all sorts of counts of bestiality, people who scammed or had child porn records etc. It didn't set a very good record for the fandom and as a result this sort of crap now covers cartoons (hence why someone was once arrested for having simpsons porn).

build yourself a RADIUS server, theyre cheap and easy to build (configuration is another story) but its much harder to break WPA than WEP and much harder to break hardened EAP than WPA. plus, when people each have a username and password for the wifi, its easier to kick someone off... you dont have to change the password and then update 20 devices, you just remove that persons name from the allowed list.

Thanks, I'll check this avenue out.

im using freeBSD as the host OS for my RADIUS server. it works and i love it, but not for everyone... good luck!

Tor Project.

https://www.torproject.org/index.html.en

It's filtered at ISP level so I don't really know if this would help, but thanks for showing me. I'm a bit wary of heading to inkbunny because I get warnings of them hosting child pornography and child abuse material, and the police are currently wardriving in our area and (although they "claim it's just to check for unsecured wifi", they've monitored browsing history and downloads before using this back in 2009).

http://www.smh.com.au/technology/se.....322-1vmof.html

Ristin, Flygon, and Marko are all Australian, seem to have no problem with InkBunny.

If it's on the ISP level, just use TOR to get around it until you can find a less crappy ISP.

Will give TOR a try. Would go for a way better isp but my roommate is the one who signed us up and holds the contract so I have no power over it.

And people thought Bazeel was only brought on because his wife was best frands with Sciggles. Good to see he's being a great addition to the site. He's fitting right in with the other admins.

Seeya on Inkbunny then. I've already been following you there as it is.

Now, I'm far from someone that bitches about every small thing that the administration does wrong. Most of the time, I tend to defend them as I've admin-ed on several different sites before and know how tough it is to make the "right" decisions at all times.

This, however, is not one of those times. I have lots of issues with how this was handled, even if you were being a total asshole or something. It would still take something big to actually get a banning in that fashion, otherwise you get labelled as abusing your power to ban people you just don't like.

This something big in no way happened in what we've been shown here. You were a bit blunt, I'll give them that, but who isn't at times? Sometimes being blunt, especially over something as impassioned as this particular rule is with some, prevents people from outright losing their shit when talking about it.

What it seems to me here, and I've seen this several times over the years, is that you didn't immediately start stroking his admin ego with your first reply. He took offense to this, as admins are supposed to be gods, so he counters back as if you're just another dumb user. When you answered back with an intelligent response, he lost his shit and suspended you.

If there's more to this story, as has been stated, I'd like to know what it is. I think we all would.

^-- this.

I'll miss your ar ton here,but sadl,I won't be getting an IB anytime soon,seeing has hosting two art accounts is hard enough as it is for me = / still sad to se eyou'll least likly post mroe ar ton here anymore but thansk for sharing =3

Lol... that seems a bit retarded |D.... sure i don't like some of the underage stuff you might do but i just don't look at it. If they don't want to be responsible for doing their job then they shouldn't be enforcing something like that.

On a side note, you should of sent a note back saying that you removed the content ( of course without actually removing it) and see if they leave ya alone XD. If they arent gonna sift through your gallery for the crap they want off them pretend ya did the job for them :)... TEEHEE >u>

Hell, that sounds like a good idea. Delete a couple that might possibly be considered AUP violations and say you did it. If they object, it's not YOUR damn fault you don't know what the hell they're talking about.

'Course, the problem with Inkbunny is that they don't allow humans in porn-art. I dunno if you have any plans for that in the future, Nori, but I recall you doing one or two in the past.

No no! Don't delete anything and say you did :D! Then bring up that the guidelines aren't informative enough about what is against the rules. That and get the admins to do their damn jobs :P

I'll try to learn how to work Inkbunny then @.@

Good thing I'm lready following you on IB XD

Personally I'm slowly transferring my alliance over to SoFurry, they actually DO try and develop the site instead of posting screen shots every couple years of some beta that will never happen. Plus the community seems closer over there and I like their layout.

Can't really say I'll miss you here because like I said, already stalking you on Inkbunny X3.

When you leave children to run the office it may as well not be run at all.

And so another goes.

They took Loli/Shota from me...I stayed.
They took cub away...I stayed
The moment they declare war on anything that isn't furry is when I'll kiss this place goodbye...or until I find something better. Do you by chance have a Skype or YIM? I've been meaning to attempt to know you but I was never able to.

I'm of two sides on this one, but they're not the sides you're expecting.

First, I know about that "no underage sex" rule. It gets numerous people in trouble outside of FA, because of child porn laws that are rather global. And since FA isn't reached on another planet... they have to deal with it.

That said, the rule can be clarified and refined.

Child porn laws are global. Imaginary people's rights laws are kind of shaky.

Yeah, and I know FA can't afford a lawyer at this time (it's not for profit as of yet).

Sometimes I hate my habit of playing devil's advocate..I really hate it. But it keeps my mind occupied, and I like to think it affords me a little more insight about how some people operate.

I think this whole situation boils down to micromanagement, and the lack there of on this site. FA has become too big for the administration to handle. And putting a popular/unpopular rule like banning cub and all of it's subjective nuances doesn't help matters at all. It's a rule carved in stone, with the details of what applies written in the sand. That's a horrific situation for any management team to deal with. And that they haven't hammered out something ironclad is a poor decision. But what they do have is enough in most situations.

And Nori, I love yah man, and I'm guilty of doing this too. We -know- some of our pictures are in obvious violation of the no-cub rule. And we leave them anyways. Maybe we left them with vindictive intent at the time, or maybe we just want to give the mods something to do. In this case, I can't help but think of "It's kinda like a speed limit" analogy. We know that the speed limit is XX through this stretch of road, we can drive XX+/-y without potentially getting pulled over. The mods asking us to police our own galleries as far as cub artwork that's been posted is a bit like cops expecting people to not drive 90mph in a 55mph zone. There's stuff that's subjective (read: anal) as a cop pulling you over for going 58 in a 55 zone, but then there's also the stuff that we know is wrong.

That's not to say that Bazeel didn't handle himself poorly. He strode up chest all puffed out trying to exert authority and implied very early on (within the first line of text in the body of his note, even) that he'd be more than happy to flex his administrator muscle to punish you if you didn't comply. He may as well have been trying to provoke an unfavorable response. Now if this was premeditated, then Baz is just gonna be "one of -those- mods" that everyone hates. If it wasn't, then 'Neer needs to get him whipped into shape. He could have handled things a lot better. A LOT better. He could have pointed out that the subjective material is something that the moderation team is still trying to define, and may be left up to the individual mod handling a case, but the material that is clearly involving underage characters still has to go. Then again, I'd be the sort of mod who'd wear a velvet glove around my iron fist X3

Here's the problem. Perhaps we do have things we know are in violation. However, there's an additional layer here- there are things we didn't know were violations. Things that didn't include obvious kids at all, but rather, relied on a soft sense of proportion in order to determine what 'could possibly be considered' underage.

What I did, believe it or not, was attempt to do FA a service. My gallery is huge, and has a lot of varied content. If they went through and methodically removed what they saw fit, they would then by deduction have what amounted to a much more comprehensive set of guidelines as to what is and isn't appropriate.

They didn't do that. Instead, I was slapped in the face and none of the work was done. Nobody benefitted, nobody got anything out of it. What could have been helpful instead just turned into a meaningless gesture.

How it should be:

User reports (presses report button), moderator reviews, if it meets mods' judgment then artist is notified or gets their license dinged or what have you. They get told precisely which work is reported, it gets taken down with whatever appeal process is applicable. No gallery combing, etc.

No fuss, no muss, they get to keep their "I know it when I see it" rules and the general pattern is proven by also being how our court system works.

I'll bet they're so paranoid about questionable material that they can't bring themselves to point out which works are at fault. 8I Like George Carlin once said, "you can't define obscenity without being obscene"

I'm not trying to be mean because I like you, I like your stuff, not so much your loli/shota stuff but I overlook that kind of thing because it's the internet, whattayagonnado

but I can see why they suspended you,

rather than just removing whatever work did not follow AUP you made it more complicated by arguing about how you thought the rule was vague

and you had to have had some idea, I mean, you have warnings on a few of you pictures that say "under age"

can't you see how a moderator might have taken your refusal as an instigation in this circumstance?

that being said, yes, FA should be more specific when it comes to which picture they want removed

I suggest a flagging function that can only be used once a day

but don't go to inkbunny

the user interface is just terrible over there

i want to keep up to date on you submissions but i just can't go there.. I've tried it, and I didn't like it.

I'm sorry, you've probably already made up your mind I just felt like I had to say SOMETHING. I don't think I was very persuasive.

http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/...../#cid:25287099

Also, IB's UI worse than FA's? You've got to be joking. And I'm sorry, that's what it's going to have to be.

okay, that's too bad

Here's my big question: will you still log in to check uploads from other artists/notes from interested parties? I very rarely use Inkbunny, so communicating with you there's gonna be more difficult for me.

I do still wanna commission ya. :O

Probably not, no. The less I have to be here, the better. Not that I've made meaningful progress on commissions in forever thanks to employment problems.

*nodnod* Is understandable. I tried adding you on AIM, but my client doesn't seem to believe me whenever I give it a screen name that has a space in it. o.o

Been meaning to chat you up on general principles anyhow; you sound super-fun. Will try to get that set up with you sometime, if you ever feel like chatting with a moggy. :D

That almost certainly answers the flip-side question, but I think I may as well ask.

Are you going to let us know here when you post, say, Chapter 14 of "Partners" on IB?

That would just be a continual journal spam on here, I don't think so.

What the fuck, man?

I cannot fucking log in anymore without seeing a log with one of my favorite artists going 'Fuck all of you, I'm gone'. I know its not your fault, and I'm not saying it is. I dont exactly agree with the stupid terms that came about because of some asshole decided to rat us out to the site's new sponsor and they came down on us hard, but shit, I'm loosing my watch list pretty fast now.

I have half a mind to chew out the admins myself. This is no way to run a site, kicking all your top artists around, treating them like shit. Thats just fucking retarded. But on the same token, I fucking hate the user interface of Inkbunny. Its such a pain in the ass that I dont wanna deal with it.

Looks like I dont have a choice, as much as I hate to admit it, I'll have to try IB again. In the meantime, try not to take off so soon. It may just be the act of one PMS'ing admin rather then the consensus of all of them, so try to give them another chance. Please dont just bolt off right away like everyone else seems to.

x.x

How is IB's UI worse than FA's? You get bigger thumbnails, you can sort, you can filter.

The last time I tried it, it just pissed me off. It has been a while, it was brand new when I tried. Maybe I should try again...

It takes a day or so to get used to it, but once you do, it's so much better. SO much.

I poked at IB because reddit linked there one time.

UI seemed fine to me, I just don't know anypony there. ;P

It's an excessively heavy interface, buggier, I wouldn't say it's well designed, no. Not that FA is a wonder of website design (ugh), but the current top favorite alternatives, Inkbunny and SoFurry, are quite a bit worse. SoFurry's biggest crime is its horrible bugginess (and slowness), Inkbunny's is its horrific design (oh, and slowness).

It's getting to be that my Inkbunny is basically checked specifically to follow a few artists now who left FA for whatever reason. Maybe if enough people switch over to it I'll actually try putting art there.

You should post!

I could, but I'm afflicted with The Lazy, and an art style that is very human-ish, even if I have very little adult material which I think is most of the focus of the rules against humans.

Ahhh, I see what you mean. Hmn.

It's largely been the human-ness of my artwork that has kept me from posting it, since I recall their AUP specifically stating that "just ears and a tail" is not enough to make it acceptable (and I can never get muzzles to look right)

what is inkbunny..and what if you ink bunny acount name

Link's in the journal.

Well, I am gonna miss you here on Fur Affinity Norithics, your art especially have inspired me for years like Tailsko, and you made me realizes not to be ashame about my art when it comes to furry, and what FA did to you was uncalled for, I still don't know what characters count as underage here but seeing as you take alot of artistic liberties with so they don't even appear child like makes me wonder why they would ever think your art was child porn,but you will be miss Norithics.

The part that would have ticked me off is where it says "a number of your pictures" without clarifying. As someone else here said, it's like a parent saying "you know what you did wrong, now tell me" and no less of a dick move.

I'll look forward to seeing your work on IB then. Easy come, easy go.

Will you still comment, view, or journal or going lurker and sticking with IB.

Enjoy the human-haters at Inkbunny.

's a shame. I liked how you drew your Tailsko boobies. I was even debating on a trade if I ever had a ffirggen idea of what to ask for -_-;

you know i got in touch with Dragoneer to try to help my friend get is account restored on FA cause some fur sucessfully got him banned by making up shit, that was last october that i got in contact with him and TO THIS DAY dragoneer hasnt done shit, and i like a good part of the users here HATE the administration of this site, they are Nazi like in their actions, its starting to feel like FA is becoming a VIP club

a shame, it just seems that be another admin folks hope to not get if they appear to rather have you do the work instead of them pointing out that what was reported

I don't see why the hell they suspended you. They said "I suggest you remove them... if you don't we will" and you told them you won't and it was up to them. If Dragoneer really says "there is more to the story", then I want to hear the rest of the story : /

so you will be no longer posting any work on here...... great....i've always loved your art. FA been getting worse and worse in recent times. yes its to protect the site as a whole but i agree the means of witch they try to moderate it needs a lot of work. removing work because it looks like a violation of the AUP is somewhat messed up. without user really giving a chance to justify why their peace is not a violation of the AUP is even worse.... i said worse too much.......anyway i had some of my pics removed becasue of tools i used to make it. however i have been finding this site telling artest more of what they can use or the style of the art they post........ i would leave FA. but i got no place to go/....

Well, I'll miss you and Partners, and all our cheerful conversations. At least I know what happened.

I'll have a friend relay messages to InkBunny and remain as close and civil as is feasable.

And I'll miss your crazy pony stories and all our fun talking. Hope things go well for you.

Heh. Pssst: http://www.fimfiction.net/user/Gabriel%20LaVedier

Pony stuff, pure and perfect, with space for comments and ratings. Give it a look.

Some days I wish I had the steel in my spine to join IB. And never more than today. Still... if I may supplicate myself, can I get a last reply to that note so I can type away a things while arranging for a relay.

That's really a shame, but I do have an Inkbunny account, so I'll try and keep an eye out for future art. True, the rules here are vague, and I can understand your annoyance.

I... DOn't know what's worse...

The Admin's Constant use of NOt even Stating what's wrong with an Image and posting A 'Self IMplied' rule on people...

The Fact that you told/Asked them to point out or atleast Remove the work thereselves to Save yoruselves both trouble

That the ONe Admin Suspends you cause you can't figure what he Didn't like/GOt Reported by random user (And with possiblity fo Accident involved)

OR jsut all around the Even more Vauge Response from Dragoneer cause sich a THing even in a private chat may/May not have been noted to be made public and he didn't want this kind've heat stamping on him cause they made one of 'THoes Calls' and shit went down.

In any either or whatever sense people leaving or just flat out 'Not Posting' is helping as mucha s not Buying a game froma company under crap loads of heat cause others will do it anyways... At the most we have to get more say into When Dragoneer decides he's going to have more User input to things pretainning to 'THESE' issues instead of site Functions and other such thigns that don't even concern how his Admin staff circulates and handles trouble Tickets.

I'd like a fancy new FA too and all the nice additions witht eh Whistles and bells of DA (HAte DA'S interface) Or InkBunny which looks STRANGELY alot like the Demo FA that was supposed to be up and running last year, but Apperently the LARGE fan base that said 'Sciggles is the ONly Admin that doesn't know how to Admin' is the same group of people that says CAPCOM is the ONly Gamming company that has gone down hill in GIving the People what they want.

Weither you stay or go with actually posting work on FA le's... just say and know that We'll... NEVER ... get anythign done till Dragoneer is being 'FOrced/Setting his foot down' and Setting up a Proper Admin power belting, and stationing the Rules to something that doesn't act NOr sound liek they're llowed to cover there ass by giving VERY vauge 'THis is good/bad letters so tht the Net police crash FA in a way that would make more obvious sense for the site... you know..

Block the 'Offensive' image from all users instead of 'NOte-Remove-Ban-Apologize for over reacting (Maybe?) Repeat'. Least with all users having a 'Black Box' and that includs Guests... Ya know... no horror from the Net police, and it's a damn easy marker for the users like Me and you with Fricken HUGE galleries and we poke at it, THumbnail, Large size, small size and Lo and behold.. :D ... It don't work!

>GRAB A BUNCH OF REGULAR USERS THAT ARE ASSDAMAGED ABOUT EVERYTHING AND ARE FAIRLY UNRELIABLE
>MAKE THEM THE ADMINISTRATORS TO YOUR SITE
>???
>PROFIT

I'm always apprehensive about Inkbunny because of the poorly-disguised human hate there, but that's mostly a principle thing.

Guess I -am- gonna have to keep it on my bar somewhere.

I'd say I'm sorry to see you go, but it was such stupefyingly stupid behavior on FurAffinity's part--and it's easy enough to keep track of you on InkBunny--that I'm not, really.

Happy trails. :)

Well this sucks. At least you were kind enough to say you were leaving and leaving your stuff up instead of taking it all down and bolting. Surprised it took this long for them to do something, though.

Sucks you won't be coming around much any more. I found a few more pictures of yours I can colour, but now there's a round-a-bout process of IB just to show you them. Oh well.

I understand your frustration in this issue, and we've been discussing how to clarify things behind the scene. We should have been more clear in our reasoning, and tried to work with you better. We are currently in the process of re-writing all of our rules and policies with the sole purpose of clarity, making them easier for users to digest. We're also taking time to re-train our staff to try to be more consistent where we can.

That said, for what it's worth, I apologize for any contention.

It just seems to me that it would be much easier for users to support the staff to uphold the TOS and AUP if users had a "report" button to flag individual submissions (and possibly even inflammatory comments) for review by the moderators, also requiring the user to state why they think the submission is in violation before passing to the moderators for final judgement. This has been a standard practice on forums and even on Deviant Art for quite some time now, and it is troubling that FA still does not have this. This would be much more helpful especially for finding and removing older submissions in much larger galleries that may not have been in violation under previous revisions of the rules without requiring artists to spend a lot of their own (often limited) time trying to police themselves by sifting through hundreds of old submissions. When violations are found, the artist should be informed exactly which submissions violate the rules and why, so that they may learn from their mistakes and take action to prevent such violations in the future or otherwise be informed of what could very well be a long forgotten piece. This would also allow the author to appeal the notice of violation if they feel they can provide a sufficiently reasonable argument with respect to their understanding of rules or the way the rules are worded; this in turn could significantly help to shape future policy changes for better clarity and accountability. Moderators should be willing to work with users to correct violations rather than penalize them for violating rules they don't understand or weren't aware had been changed. Users should not be penalized for asking questions about their violations or failing to take action on the grounds that they do not have enough information to do so. Users should not be immediately suspended when reported to have violated the TOS, but should be informed of the grievances against them and given sufficient time to either correct those grievances or appeal the suspension, which upon such an appeal it should probably take the consensus of several moderators to make a final, impartial ruling to avoid accusations of personal vendettas or favoritism.

As the largest dedicated furry art site, you provide a valuable service to the furry community, and the moderators' jobs are to serve in the best interests of both the site and its users; but there are alternative websites that users are willing to go to if we feel your level of service does not adequately meet our expectations, so it is in the best interests of the administration to keep the users happy. It pains me to see so many great artists leaving due to moderators acting outside of their directive or over friends being banned who do everything they can to make an appeal but are ultimately ignored by the moderators indefinitely; or some users I've seen that unnecessarily remove content that actually complies with the TOS/AUP for fear of potential violations without even knowing for sure.

I suppose what we as users are really seeking is openness, transparency and personal accountability of the site administration, the likes of which the U.S. government has failed to fulfill its promises on. As is evident by the comments on this journal page, there are plenty of unflattering rumors and opinions floating around about the site administration, much like the U.S. government. You guys, however, are much more directly connected to the community you serve than is the U.S. government. Being completely open and transparent about the administrative decisions, actions, and the reasons behind them (both internally and site-wide) could stand to significantly improve relations with disgruntled users, of which there are many who feel their voices are being ignored. But to be perfectly honest, I wouldn't be at all surprised if this and my previous post went completely unnoticed by the administration as well. You would have little to lose and everything to gain through such openness and honesty with the community. Conversely, if you really do feel you would stand to lose something substantial by being open and honest about such matters, then you clearly have much larger problems to worry about regarding the way the site is run, not to mention it would completely validate the fears and mistrust expressed by many users.

Sorry to hear you're having such trouble...

what did they removed anything from your gallery?
something from your veeery old stuff or something newer?

I'd make a comment on how retarded these guys are trying to enforce this rule, but it's already been said. Fuck em.

I notice though in general site moderators suck. Either they take things too seriously and get all high and mighty about a fucking free site or they don't give a fuck and make the site generally suck. No one cares to think "Hey, maybe I should just shut up, do my job, and enjoy my success."

*sighs* I suppose I'll see you around Tumblr or on AIM then?

Absolutely. I've been thinking of making a mod blog on there.

That'd be pretty sweet! I think as long as you don't post actual photos of things (not that you would) you'd be fine with whatever content. ^_^

I'll see you on Inkbunny.

While I would have kept my replies less colorful and more dry (if I had the presence of mind for it, cough) there's one big point that stands out to me here: they didn't tell you what pictures were to be taken down.

They say it is up to the administrators to decide what counts as a violation. They said such violations being present here, but did not decide and tell you which ones. Crystal clear to me that either they were forgetting to, or they wanted to shove the responsibility of decision onto you. Which is bad conduct. That's my reaction anyway.

I'm getting less and less reasons to keep an eye on this site >_<

Um why where they removed? EVERYTHING is allowed here and trust me, far worse is on here.

Btw are you leaving FA?

You made the right decision. I would have reacted the same to that sort of nonsensical "administration", though perhaps less civil, lol. Thanks for not taking their shit.

Wow someone removed a hell of a lot of conversations from here.
