Hum, well that's a bit of youtube level ineptitude

Just got a notice that two journals were taken down on the accounts of "Posting illegal content" under the guise of "Well, you did link to something that used to be payware. So, irregardless that it's free now, that's still piracy. Cuz once upon a time, that used to cost money."
Atop a "you cannot point out truth or facts in case they are inconvenient to another users reputation, that is harassment". I am aware of the "no naming and shaming" rule. But thought that was only when it came to the journal itself. Not the comments underneath.
But welp, sorry. If you find an art thief, someone that's scamming people by taking commissions, but not delivering or the like; Then you're NOT allowed to name these individuals. Nor warn others about them, that's now qualified as harassment.
I guess you can still report them to an admin... but that is honestly news to me. Didn't know we had become so SJW/PC that we're no longer allowed to upset people breaking the rules, or just merely exploring the system. Even by just directly quoting them.
But like, shesh. People are lazy. They won't look up "artists beware" or w/e else. Most of that type of info was shared through journals. But with that now being against the rules, FA better beef up it's security at least against the forbidden types of scams. Even if they will just completely neglecting the backhanded "Well, if they are stupid enough to fall for misinformation, that's their own fault." ordeals.
On a side note: My bad on the last journal. Should have had that proofread. Have had a few point out how a couple of the questions need to be revamped as to not be as biased. Or simply that they aren't as conclusive. But oh well. Hopefully I will get a few dozen results that can be used.
