This is why we can't have nice things.

Re: Huge icons
Journal removed, finding a bug is nice and all, but encouraging users to exploit it... Nope.
Now I forgot the username, could someone send me a quick PM, if he/she remembers? :/

Re: Huge icons
Just realised I should have put this in the site support section (not sure if it would've been noticed then) and you probably need to make an admin notice to stop people from doing it, it's still going around on twitter and there's various other journals.

Re: Huge icons
So was this exploit actually fixed? Because I honestly thought you guys would release a statement about fixing it, and then do so, instead of actually taking the effort to ban hundreds of people. I mean, the whole point was to bring it to the admin's attention, that and it was just some harmless fun. Unless you guys did fix it, and just decided to do both.
I think this might be a bit of an overreaction to something that was meant to be funny, versus something that was a tad more malicious, like Eevee hiding thousands of comments. Although that was a bug that sorely needed to be fixed, I could -sort- of see the sense in banning him? But banning all these people (and the bans aren't even consistent-- some people who were making avatars weren't banned, some who just changed it to one they received were) seems over the top. I know what the rule in the ToS says, but after a point, it honestly just struck me as not worth the effort to ban all those people, instead of just admitting that a mistake was made, and fixing the humourous, non-mallicious exploit.
I guess it doesn't matter in the end though. It was funny while it lasted, and I only got suspended 2 weeks. I guess my real crime was just not reverting it before I went to sleep (and I honestly thought I would sleep twice as long, so double oops!). Ah well.
EDIT: Uh, my 2 week ban just got upped to a permanent ban, and the only reason I can discern is because it was assumed I was ban evading, even though I signed out of the other account I have immediately to avoid such a thing happening. Like, I stayed signed in to one account on Firefox, and the other on Chrome for convenience, and I signed out of the one on Chrome after seeing the part of my suspension that told me not to ban evade (which I was happy to do!). Can one of the admins please fix this? That account wasn't solely mine either, so I'd appreciate it if the original punishment is reinstated, since this has clearly been a mix-up. :T

Re: Huge icons
Too bad it's already been exploited from some of the large avatars i've seen on people pages.
Wow this is reminds me of those account suicides.

Re: Huge icons
Exploiting issues for the "lulz" is what got you banned. You didn't report it to the site, you didn't open a ticket. Instead, you created a journal and promoted people to abuse it. That was your "real crime" as you put it. Promoting, encouraging abuse of the site. That's in violation of the Terms of Service, and that's why you got banned. Add in your previous history of hijinks on the site... and we feel it's best if FA and yourself part ways at this time.
Re: Huge icons
benchilla is involved in an art site which will compete with FA, called weasyl.
one of FAs own admins: fay-v is going to be jumping ship to weasyl from FA, it said so on one of benchillas submissions which had a list of people who will be weasyl admins.
Im sure all of this had nothing to do with dragoneers decesion to ban benchilla from the site and the forums and delete everything in his gallery.
Re: Huge icons
MAN U SHOULD BE AN ADMIN BRUH
Re: Huge icons
No one on Weasyl staff has commented on jumping ship from FA because of the site. Being on the staff does not automatically entail that. As you can see Dragoneer is well aware of the project and if that was intended, I'm sure all staff involved would have told him so or will tell him if it comes to that.

Re: Huge icons
yup, I think that's why he banned benchilla: he's scared of weasyl because fa is so run down and stagnant these days
fa staff like fay-v and ex-fa staff like xipoid are signing up for weasyl and weasyl isn't even finished yet
that says how bad FA is now
the rats are leaving the sinking ship
I think these big icons show how unequal FA is, since some people like benchilla get banned forever and wiped from FA for it, some people get banned for a few days and others don't get banned at all. There is no logic or reason behind what FA admins do.
Re: Huge icons
I'm not scared of Weasyl. Competition is good. If I had a problem with other sites I'd have long had issues with SoFurry or Inkbunny.
And Fay is still FA staff, and she's Weasyl staff as well. It's not a big deal. Some people are /making/ it a big deal, but it's really not for us. We knew Fay was Weasyl staff before she joined FA staff. So, uhm...
Re: Huge icons
I do agree there doesnt seem much fairness, someone does a one time offend thing and BANNED, i really feel like a warning should have been supplied.
Re: Huge icons
I can understand an increased ban time for someone that told others how to reproduce the problem, but permanent? Ehh...not really fair. Maybe I am too lax honestly.
The only thing I can say is, Remember the Journal and Submission 'hacks' some months ago? Yeah...
Also the icon glitch has been used and abused long before now and nothing was done. I am sure something will be now since it got public and is being abused.
;(
Addition; you have new site notices you could have said "We have noticed people abusing icon glitch you have til XX to delete the icons. Do not further reproduce. We are aware of the issue."

Re: Huge icons
......Ugh....
You know how many furry sites have been advertised as "fa killers"? I don't think Fa has anything to worry about cause there's a large chance that'll get no where.
The only way I ever see a site beating fa is if sofurry gains popularity or someone creates a all-in-one website for furries. By that I mean a art site, social media site, music site, dating site, game site, video site, etc and in all probability is someone were to do that the site would be horribly broken.

Re: Huge icons
FA has 13 admins and they cannot keep up with the trouble tickets
FA can't make a report button to make things easier
If FA admins like Fay-v start to split their time between weasyl and FA things will get even worse, and you're just happy to see that happen im sure
meanwhile the FA forums has TWENTY FIVE ADMINS AND MODS
I think its hilarious that the FA forums have an army of mods and admins when they're so small and insignificant compared to FA itself and the admins on FA just can't keep up
The FA admins and mods are supposed to be recruited to the mainsite, but because FA is so stagnant they don't want to, instead FA staff are going to go to other places like Weasyl. It's hilarious!
Benchilla didn't do anything worth a permaban and he doesnt have a history worth one
the fact remains that people have been dealt with extremely unequally here
Re: Huge icons
....You obviously don't know ben then. As of late he's been drifting dangerously towards a temp ban or such.
The fact he posted a site exploit didn't help his case. If Weasyl is going to add him as a admin then god help them.

Re: Huge icons
He might possibly be drifting towards a temp ban? Welp we gotta ban him from FA and the forums forever and wipe his gallery, meanwhile we'll temp-ban some of the other people and not ban others at all....You obviously don't know ben then. As of late he's been drifting dangerously towards a temp ban or such.
consistency!
there is none here
dude dragoneer uses this exploit, when he is at convention room parties he sometimes gives someone a giant avatar as a joke. this isn't a big issue like you're making it out to beThe fact he posted a site exploit didn't help his case.
