FA Transparency
10 years ago
Dusting off this account just long enough to point this out.
FurAffinity has had an incredible amount of problems (including the unilateral appointment of a staff member that was accused of sexual abuse and certain other staff were implicated in hiding said fact, which ended up being the straw that broke my back); I'm going to assume that those who were around for those remember them and won't rehash.
This week, however, two ex-FA staff have come forward with their tales and supporting documentation of what it was like trying to work under FA management, how feedback was routinely ignored and consumer complaints brushed aside, and how they were, eventually, fired and then banned for speaking up about these issues. Their information details the workings of an incompetent leadership that could only respond to constructive criticism with defensiveness, threats, or (most often) silence.
Since the mods are doing their best to immediately ban anyone who links to the Imgur and/or dropbox files with the documentation, I'll instead just point out that searching for FATransparency and #FATransparency on Twitter should allow you to find the info yourselves while I, myself, am not providing any links to any off-site content.
FA is not the world of furry, and I think the community deserves better than what the site currently represents. Whether FA changes and the majority of the community stays here or whether the majority move elsewhere, we deserve better.
