FA Policy Update 4/16/2020

The footer is the truth.
Yes, the confederate flag is involved in a war against people who wanted slavery to continue. Yes, the flag was used by the racist side. However, that does not mean we should ban it because you don't agree with it. Freedom of speech is a thing you know. If someone is racist, big whoop, it shows how close minded they are if they wanna fly that flag. Let them show people how stupid they are. Don't go calling the flag a racist symbol and banning anyone who uses it, talks about it, showcases it in any way shape or form.
What if someone wants to do art related to the civil war? What if someone's great great grandfather was in the civil war and they want to show pictures of some historical artifacts? What if someone (like me) lives next to a civil war park and wants to show some stuff they did there with friends? Is it racist to talk about history? No.
On top of that, FA admins disable comments on all their latest news articles because they don't want people disagreeing with them which, I feel is even worse. I feel that the latest several policy changes on the site are to abolish freedom of speech. This site is going down hill fast. Its becoming leftist and dangerously close to full blown snowflake dictatorship. I don't like where this site is going, and it needs to stop.
Snuff, Gore, Death porn is ok but a confederate flag in a civil war scene is not. How interesting.
Unlike you, FA, I will not disable my comments, because I'm not afraid of someone disagreeing with me.
P.S. Who decided reminders every 8 hours was a good idea? You need to fire that guy.

Personally, I really like nazi zombies mode on COD, now I won't be able to upload an art with my sona killing them -.-
Talking about the limit to the reminders, if they added a fucking option to a post to classify it like YCH/reminder/adopt/raffle/etc. people could choose what kind of content see in their submissions page. They could add an automatic system to send timed self-destroying reminders, without the need by the artist to re-upload again and again the same pic, for example (*happy CDN and server storage noises*).
Finally, come on guys, it's a so stupid idea to power-up the platform like that <.<
The future is in microservices, container-based servers, cloud architecture and so on, not in starting a race in who has more CPU and RAM *upset and angry software engineer noises*
This site will never have good features like FN has. FN needs improvements too but it is halting because everyone's still using FA instead. :/ The artists stay because the watchers stay because the artists stay beca....

i just saw this recently too, but i have to admit, i dont trust any of the admins anyway, let alone does anyone even think highly of them, plus this recent video, even having dms from neer to someone who did, basically beast shows, yeah theyre like, all bought out
Hell there was this one time, that person who's banned now called me a dog fucker, because I put a shout on her page saying that her recent journals were nothing but toxic filled hate that made me dislike being around her anymore and she blocked me after I said that. I didn't care that her journals were anti-zoo, I just saw so much hate and toxicity in them and her directly insulting everyone she doesn't like. I didn't say anything about it being ok to do what they do, just that she was being extremely toxic and she went out and called me a dog fucker for it. I bet she even went around telling people that too to make others hate me just because I didn't like her toxicity. So you can see how I know some people are just bullshitters and will make things up.
I do also know that FA harbors a certain person who's done bad things and I'm not allowed to say who and what he does but its likely well known at this point. The FA staff aren't exactly known for being unbiased and honest but they aren't -all- bad. I just hate them sometimes because they do stupid shit like this banning of all flags that offend someone or words even. I bet you can't even call someone a trap in artwork anymore because god forbid it might offend someone.
Also a blanket ban without taking context in mind is counterproductive; ppl may be dissuaded from doing a comic based in a certain era just cause it's banned.
I wouldn't recommend it :0
