Fur Affinity's Blocking System and Streaming Posts
9 years ago
I don't know how to go about addressing it calmly or briefly but as of late I've had someone here I've had blocked, (And I mean not only on Fur Affinity but generally all other social media.) and they managed to get into one of the streams I posted here and realized the blocking system means nothing and that really makes me anxious. I don't know if I'll be streaming publicly for a while after realizing how little security or privacy I have to negative or toxic people I've tried to filter from following me or my work over social medias.
I probably won't be posting streaming submissions publicly and will have to find a means to resolve how I work out doing commissions here if I even bother to publicly anymore.

It's more or less a glorified "This person can't message me" system.
It doesn't block them one bit, it just cuts off their communication to notes, shouts, comments ect.
They honestly need to actually use it properly because since you stream with Join.me you can't really do anything about it in Stream
Sadly it's not something like Pictaro where only members can comment and you'd be able to ban whomever you're talking about with no issues at all, long story short. I'm disgusted with the blocking system here because it gives people like you and other artists no actual release from them.
Sucks that you still have to deal with this crap, especially on a site that's over five fucking years old.
You think they'd actually get around to actually doing something useful, like adding a blacklist system or actually make a proper blocking system. But nope, just getting hacked and editing how notes stack. Super helpful shit right there. I've always seen having more than three responses to be much more important than security and proper blocking.
the block system is AWFUL on this site. there is no escape from toxic people. I've been keeping most of my commission stuff on twitter. it's ridiculous when you prefer using a platform with a 140 character limit per post to a place that was supposedly built to run art businesses on :/
