Its not the drug that harms you, its dosage. Water can kill you in a big enough dosage. lol

Not true, there has been ms paint 4chan art on this site, along with other super low quality images. As for "hate art" there is a image on this site about cooking furries alive while they masturbate and shit themselves as hate art.....yet its still on the site. Now I am not saying things should be removed, but that statement you made is just really wrong given the things approved on this site that are still around :/

Please be very careful not to confuse "hate" with "someone else's opinions".

If the same person is doing it, I can see that being spam.

If it's just one post, and eight different people all say "<3", then I'd have to say no. Just being un-original :P

Just throwing this in here but something like this is a combo and also one of the reasons why the have a lol_comments tag

Setting a furry on fire, with text bubbles saying how terrible furries are......thats hate art, not confusion.

If only furries were real, then that might be correct :o Unless you mean the actual person and not the fursona

By that, we should also censor vore, the one where one character eats the other through various means (can't remember the name at the moment), and slavery.

Just because it depicts furry in a negative light does not make it "hate art". However, if you would like, can you provide the link and I will ask the admins to weigh in on if it is or isn't hate art.

You are misunderstanding what I said. I am NOT saying we should censor anything. I am pointing out we DO infact have troll art, and super low quality images that are approved on this site. I only brought up one image as an example, but yeah there is a lot of it still on the site so you cant really say its "never allowed"

Quality is in eye of the beholder and very much subjective, some things look like shit but redeem themselves by either being really funny or otherwise good.

Which brings us allllllll the way back around to admin/mod subjective judgement. Which sounds like very little progress is made at all.

Oh for fucks sake, how about instead of whining like a siren you actually do something productive for once and suggest something to solve your perceived problem?

Or how about you start your own booru someplace else? I heard the cost to rent a server is pretty cheap these days.

But both would require you to do something else than being useless all day long so chances are really small that we'll ever see you change something.

Thats my point, so the other admin saying that this stuff "never" gets approved is wrong. Its up to whoever approves it but there is no quality control

" Numbering a thread, IBTL, TL;DR, or any other fad statements"

A few points about this:

The wording here can give the miss-impression that acronyms are under fire. I think the inclusion of "TL;DR" in this is misleading, because it's most often used as an acronym just like IMHO, LOL, etc. The only way I've seen "TL;DR" being used as a fad statement has been in flippant one-liner posts, where it could easily be argued the real problem was because the post was a flippant, one-liner which added nothing to the discussion and was meant to diss or provoke someone else's comment. Maybe something like "Fad statements which otherwise add nothing to the discussion are to be avoided, excessive use of them will result in discaplinary action. Examples of fad statements include post numbering declarations [aka, "First post! woo!"], "in before the ___" predictions, flippant one-liners meant to provoke or diss another member's comment, pointless commenting games, spam, [whatever else you want to specifically add here]."

I think chain combos should be allowed with caveats. Because often they're just about formatting or style mimicry, but the body of those comments are still adding something to the discussion. Other times they're a mindless comment game, and that's when they qualify as being a disruption. So they're a mix of fine and not fine.

Another related thing that needs brought up is those instances where someone posts a keyword-relevent-but-not-really-relevent-sort-of-funny-mostly-random-youtube-video-link in response to something. Sometimes they don't even say much else. It's part fad and part meme. It happens often enough that it's going to come up in relation to the CoC sooner or later. So I figure now's a good time to decide whether it's allowed or not. I know they do bug a lot of people, while other people love to post them. And cracking down on them too hard might get in the way of the few times a link is relevant. For example, linking to a song which a person thinks complements an animation as a recommendation is very different than linking to a random movie clip because it has a keyword in common or a 'clever' comeback. The latter is more of a commenting/forum game and isn't much better than a fad statement.

Some great points here. I will bring up the fad statement revision with the BD group and verify it with the admin team. If everyone likes it, I'll make it happen.

Chain combos as you stated are fine. It'll all about intent. We're not stopping the "fun and games" part, just the "until someone loses an eye" part. If that made any sense.

YouTube video links are fine, as is most any popular social media. The CoC is to prevent against sites that are poorly, or not, moderated against illegal/tasteless content that we wouldn't want on this site. It would be a link to some random and weird website that will likely be filled with viruses and pop-up ads anyway.

A couple of admins have already found that out... :\

Now, while I would normally expect the admin team to show a little bit more decorum, I do understand where NMNY is coming from. The OP stated that we wanted constructive criticism, which a few select users have chosen to forget/ignore.

In all honestly, I like the admin team. For better or worse, I am happy with the staff that Char entrusted to Varka and I. I trust them to make the right calls when I'm not around, especially when I'm not around. So, yes, there are rules subjective to an individual admin/mod's purview. I wouldn't have it any other way.

I mean, I suppose I could just replace the admin staff with a program that auto-approved and -rejected posts, forum posts, and comments, so that I would remove all human element from this tasks, then everyone would hate it, no one would come, not even for the fapping or the lulz. I'm not going to do that (of course).

When it comes down to it, when you have something that affects a group of people, you have a few who won't be satisfied. You try your best, but if they won't budge, then you have to move on to everyone else rather than spend all your time trying to make that one person happy.

I mean, let's do some quick comparison:

Notice the difference? One person is not only discovering potential flaws, but also suggesting fixes. That's what we are looking for and it will likely get put into the next batch. I do thank furrypickle, along with corgi_bread, Gilda, and everyone else that has helped so far on this thread.

Needs more "no creepy comments" because holy christ some of the latest ones are just terrible. Why this was removed, I really don't know. We don't need to know how you see a "nice, thick, delicious, otter butt that absolutely NEEDS deep penetration" or how you would "make that ass fold every time I thrust in and out I'll close my eyes and listen to my body ram his."

This is ridiculous.

No, Ratte, apparently this is "all good."
They just can't talk about boning an actual otter - because that is animal abuse. No, they're perfectly well within their rights to turn every picture into a FurAffinity comment section.

I'm suggesting this because the CoC is in it's editing phase - it would be useful to have a visual indication of the changes to the site's rules so that those authoring - and suggesting changes to - them know what changes have been made, because all we have as it stands is a vague reference to 'some changes mentioned in a previous post' and a lack of clue as to what has changed, especially as you're running everything past The Powers That Be, who may have other changes to suggest, afterwards.

There is still google cache copy of CoC from 30 september. The changes are mostly about changing "threads" to "threads or comments" or correcting spelling mistakes

I have few comments about rules again.

Janitor: Can delete forum posts

Actually now I have an option to hide comment, and hide blip, see hidden comments on comment search view, but don't have option to hide forum post.

3. Suspension (negative record): This is a temporary two-week ban from the site and forums.

This was changed comparing to 30 sep version. Is removing flexibility of duration of bans is a good thing?

It will drive a lot of people (myself included) to leave the site or at least take drastic measures (something like Foob mentioned).

If creepers are allowed I am at least turning adblock back on. I feel less inclined to help the site financially when it is shared with THOSE people D:

Updated by anonymous

What's funny is that it had been one of the more consistently-applied rules. The clear violations were nuked, and the ones that are rather int he grey area were left alone to be voted down if more people than not thought it crossed the line.

Maybe something like that would work for posts, too: Things that are "are you fucking kidding me why did you even think we'd want this on our site" would be nuked, and let the votes speak for the rest that are more subjective. I'm pretty sure there's already a blacklist option for score, so just implement an auto-blacklist thing with a threshold for post score (and a checkbox to turn off the auto-blacklist), which would work just like auto-hiding of comments below their threshold.

I'm still shocked the rule was changed with no feedback from any of the userbase....It feels like there was no thought placed into this. Besides....didnt a few artists want their art removed due to creepy comments about their art at one time? ...I still dont get why it was removed without notice.

If there is no more no creepy comment rule...I might just not use the site due to the over flood of "I want to lick that fox-horse's vagina all night long till she cums hard in my face" comments. It just creeps out artists to remove their stuff and makes people not want to use the site.

Mr. EDFDarkAngel, if we're getting rid of the "creepy comments" rule, I think we ought to bring back everyone who was banned because of it!

I mean, it is technically an unfair ban, now. We could also invite everyone we shoo'd away because they were, at the time, below comment quality standards. But now they're completely fine!
It'll be a grand old time!

Oh, we'll bring back stink, we'll bring back BHDragn, we'll bring back this guy!

We can bring back G.Sly, we bring back american-lotus and asslover and this person and this guy!

We'll extend an invite to AligaTOR, we'll RSVP dragonrump!
You and you and you; and you get an invite, and YOU get an invite, YOU get an invite, YOU get an invite! Everybody gets an invite!

And 'lo, we'll bring back our one true lord and savior, the one king of the city of on the hill (vaginally)

Updated by anonymous

Yep, that is true. If someone has in the past been banned for no violations other than creepy comments, then it's absolutely a requirement that they be immediately unbanned under the new rules, and their negatives be either removed or at the least changed to neutrals.

Dragonrump was banned for more than just creepy comments, so he wouldn't come back. Some of them would, though.

I think that dragonrump would be still banned for tag vandalism. In fact, many people from that list would be still banned for other things.

But do not fear, if new rule is confirmed then I'm going to personally make comments that would make even Barbados sick. (vaginally) ^_^

I knew you would, cheeky Gilda~

But in all seriousness, I was fine with all the changes happening in e621. Sure I was happy about it. But hearing that creepers can post their creepy shit and get away with it? Nah. That honestly makes me want to puke.

I love this site, I love the people and friends I've made on it. I really don't want to have to disable comments just because of this.

For fucks sake, please bring in the no creepy comments rule back. It can be my early birthday present..

So you want to remove all comments due to allowing creepy comments? That does not solve the problem, ignorance is not bliss.

Problem is....some users UPVOTE creepy comments....so the downvote system wont even help

Lastly, is anyone else asking why this was passed without any feedback? I think the users have spoken, we dont want this site to turn out like a few other creepy image boards (that a few examples my fellow users can name), nor do we want to hear about how a creepy user posting about "wanting to shove their dick in that fat, shit & cum covered, Bunny boy-ass all night long for long deep penetration, until his ass is as open as a train tunnel to shove 12 hotdogs inside and eat out of his ass on the 4th of july while jacking off onto the bunny boy's ass and lower back."

No one wants to hear this, it creeps out the normal user base, it creeps out the artists, it makes the users not want to use the site, and makes artists want to remove their art in mass waves due to creepy comments made about the images they draw.

I think, I and my fellow users have made our points crystal clear. If there was a vote on creepy comments, we would all vote no.

I find this situation a bit funny. Everyone, including me, was thinking that these new rules would bring new restricting prohibitions or censorship. However nobody thought, and checked, whether it removes restrictions that were good.
