Thinking about leaving FA
10 years ago
General
That's right. I'm seriously thinking about leaving FA for good.
The reason: Admins that just remove submissions for no good reason.
They pulled 3 of my flash video previews for Patreon, which most of you probably have seen.
The reson given: “Acceptable Upload Policy: Section 3.1 - Photography featuring sexual activity (human or animal) is prohibited.”
and
“Acceptable Upload Policy: Section 1.10 - Do not post links to content prohibited by Fur Affinity's policies. Posting links to real life pornography, pirated media, malware, or websites featuring the illegal streaming of copyrighted content are not permitted."
I do admit the "Risking puppies" was a bit much of a tease, but the other 2 certainly not.
Also there was absolutely no sexual activity in any of them.
I don't know what any of you think, but in my opinion, inflating a balloon in a fursuit is no sexual activity at all.
To me, it is a form of art which i enjoy to do. It has no sexual reasons at all, nor does it involve any sexual activity in them.
I don't want to blame a single admin about this. For one, i don't know who it was since it was a system message that was sent as note to me.
And even if i knew, i would not say their name in public to prevent a shitstorm against them.
Vent over. Still thinking about if i will stay or not.

But go what you feel here, if your planning to go on Weasyl, I'll be there as well.
You don't need to leave, though you're well within your right to do so should you choose. As a creator it benefits you to post on more than one place (such as Weasyl & FA) since it gives you not only more exposure, friends, commissions, or whatever else one might want but also protection against arbitrary admin action, editing, or deletion. Unless all sites delete your content. Then it's probably time to meditate on what message that sends. n.n
I can't say I agree with everything FA does, but I don't know if I subscribe to the idea that some people have about FA and the admins.
If you go, I think it'll be too bad, and perhaps a rash decision, but you do what you need to do. It's your call, of course.
My ultimate recommendation is that you just put up a clean fursuit picture and just mention something like 'check out my Patreon for the video' but don't include any hyperlinks.
Those video clips were lovely and silly (and perhaps a bit risque) fursuit fun. Some might have implied naughtiness, but ergh. Yeah I've had other friends with 'risque' furstuit pctures or videode get threatened with accoutn suspenstion/closure or even their entire galleries deleted.
Try to find out some specifics and then adjust
accordingly. There is imperfection everywhere you look.
Assbackwards standards i tell you!
At this rate, we'll be all forced to move out because there just won't be anything to look at in except of advertisments, and if you post a fluffy kitten it would also be deleted, because someone may have a fluffy kittens fetish. Ah well.
