FA Fursuit Pic Nazi's On A Rampage...
13 years ago
Hey guys/gals beware,
Seems FA admins are once again getting stricter on fursuit pic uploads. I have a few that have my wolf fursuit wearing a thong. Nothing all that bad in my opinion. Got a note that the file was removed as it didn't meet the AUP.
The pic in particular that got taken down was me while in fursuit, spinning poi, in a thong, at a dance at night at a convention. It was uploaded years ago and I can't even remember what I put the rating on it because it was quite a while back that I uploaded the pic. Usually I put general as for all intents and purposes it's tame and general audience.
In my opinion there really shouldn't be anything wrong with this as the fursuit is not modified. Yes a thong is 'sexy' but not in my opinion something that warrants being removed. So beware of posting any sexy fursuit pics even if nothing is showing or even if it isn't really an adult situation.
I think the AUP on photos needs to be revisited and revised, but that's me. I'd also really appreciate if something is going to be taken down prior warning so that the individual can remove / edit the file instead of just automatically being taken down.
I'm not even sure if I have a backup of said file. This is total BS.
Here is the message I received...
" Submission removal: Fire spinning... without the fire!!!

khyle,
I regret to inform you that your submission has been removed as it violates the AUP in terms of photography. Photographs must be correctly rated general and suitable for all ages. If you wish to share such photos, we suggest you upload them to a third party hosting site such as imageshack or photobucket and link them via journal.
"Photographic work must be suitable for all ages, and submissions MAY NOT be rated higher than General. Photography involving mature or adult situations or illicit activity are not allowed. This includes images containing nudity, sex toys, sexually modified plushies or fursuits (where modifications are visible or obvious), gore (blood, wounds, death) or alluding to illegal activity. Uploading adult or pornographic photography may result in an automatic suspension."
-FA Administration "
I say again this hypocrisy needs to be fixed. I hope people raise hell with this to get things changed.

I've said that before, and the general response I got was, "Working together with the users instead of against them would be professional, courteous, and a logical way to address a perceived problem with uploads. So of course, we'll never do it".
WTH?!?!
It seems like FA needs a policy for admin behavior more than it needs more policies for posting fursuit images. As long as FA is going to allow individual admins to judge the AUP-worthiness of submissions, it desperately needs (1) notification prior to removal, (2) a procedure to counter the accusation prior to removal, and (3) a statute of limitations that makes it very hard to remove something that was submitted 6 months or longer prior without complaint (especially by a single admin on a power streak).
As far as I'm aware, there was nothing about that suit that was against AUP except maybe the SLIGHTLY suggestive undies, and even that... nah... I can't really get into their heads no matter how I try.
I believe that FA is being hypocritical of how this site is. As you said and I, you can post even copyrighted material doing immoral things, but when it comes to a fursuit pic and whatnot then everyone is gonna be all "g rated" about things? This is totally screwed up if you ask me and such...
