    You know, there's something that doesn't quite add up. Of the four people who left, only one actually had sensitive information leaked about them (WriterWren), and I'm not getting the impression she would lash out at people like that. Why exactly would this admin in question have been so pissed as to come into the admin chat, guns ablazing? I can understand being worried about your future with FA if people are just going to make random attacks against the staff like that, but I can't imagine why they'd be so incredibly mad if their identity wasn't in any way compromised.

    I'm guessing they partly used it as an excuse, and perhaps they also misunderstood exactly what was released and where it came from. The only thing that technically came from FA was the small yiffyleaks section. Did they even know what yiffyleaks was before this? Was their (over)reaction perhaps similar to this? ¯\(º_o)/¯

    actually 5 people left. silver quit yesterday, too.
    anyway. you are definitely right, it doesnt add up. especially since ony wrtierwrn mentioned the leak, 2 left because of "personal reasons" and only photografuhrer mentioned the terrible management of the site.
    the truth probably lies somewhere inbetween. terrible management and a missunderstanding about what information was actually found and where it really came from. the latter maybe being the last straw that made them snap :P

    That is the problem. That is actually what happened. He got on the chat, called Neer an asshole for leaking his information.

    There is also another way to look at this too.

    There were multiple requests for months, asking the admins to use the forums at the very least, and get on the IRC. The same admin who came in like that was not using the IRC much, if at all. Did I not say earlier Ben, we even had a hard time getting them to even say "hello"? 3 months? So the few days this one finally starts using it?

    From what I understand the Furocity staff are a pretty close set of people that live near each other too. So one friend acts up and is out of line. Calls someone an asshole. I think they knew that was really out of line, and even though they had other problems - they also knew there were requests to group together and meet up. So instead, it's easier to bow out claiming other stuff because "haha FA sucks" instead of apologizing that they talked to a boss that way and used the other stuff as an excuse to cover up. That doesn't negate that there were some issues, however, given the fact that we also mentioned that FINALLY after 3 months some of the staff members started using the forums a little more frequently astounds me.

    With FA I've learned that there will always be people to make themselves martyrs on Half truths.
    When being an Admin on FA, you'll have to recognize that people will not like you when you have to do your job. People will want to take things out on you to humiliate you and the rest of the people you work with.

    Really? The docs are showing up on the first page there for me. Seems they got updated too, for whatever reason.

    Yeap. They surprisingly found a profile I have long forgotten (But now wiped any way).

    That said, a lot of stuff's still missing from there. Not to mention a few links under my name seriously aren't mine. Also, what's with the google link referring to a youtube channel. lazy much?

    That kind of approach makes sense. I've seen it where some troll goes on a spree posting actual human porn on the site and half a page or something a full one is nothing but a few pictures or just one being mass reported by many users. The once the issue is resolved you have to close each one individually. It would be easier if all the tickets bundled into one and had a priority thing going on so you now just how active it is as a reported item.

    EDIT: D: don't slap me, I've been doing my job. I"ve spent a lot of time behind the scenes trying to fix different issues and encourage communicate between new and old staff. Also to patch up the final bits of communication between main side and forum. And you know, of course working on getting fixes to AUP done and working tickets. Don't harm me bro :C

    i dont think that system for tickets makes a lot of sense. a tickets priority shouldnt be determined by how many people reported the submission. that way a ticket about a submission featuring someones dick that was posted at a time when not a lot of people are online might get a lower priority than a photo of a gun that was uploaded when tons of people are online.
    instead a new ticket for a submission should just put that submission at the top of the list of the current backlog of reported submissions.
    different ticket categories like harassement or stolen artwork should get higher priorities but simply judging by the amount of tickets is a bad idea in my opinion.
    bundling tickets makes sense though. would make a lot of things easier^^

    but yeah, gordon would clean this place up good =D or he would just start cursing and would leave right away.

    This does not surprise me, especially since I've known since the first year I was here that some of the admin who run this site (names will not be given, they know who they are) are complete and utter idiots who don't really give a damn about anything, using their own bias to try to control the site. One of the things I DID hear about before one of the newer admin left was that one of them gave an 'ok' to something that was within their expertise in that field of art, only to have one of the older admin completely overturn that. Frankly, we have no way to know who was right or wrong on this, but I'm more likely to listen to the person who had experience in that particular field.

    Because if the FA/FAF mods stifle any more well-stated criticism people might start invoking Godwin's Law.

    The whole FA admin corruption and power mongering universe that people have envisioned is really just a bunch of different people with different pieces of the same puzzle all trying to figure out what the finished product looks like without actually working together to consolidate. It really is far too grandiose as people describe it. The reality is very banal and a little stupid.


    Not that I can really blame anyone. The flow of information is turbulent at best and dammed at worst. I feel that's really the most lacking feature, and I can't imagine the reason(s) to this without suddenly reducing someone to an incredibly simple position that makes the entire consideration very trivial in the first place.

    Well stated criticism is welcome. I actually enjoy tremendously reading through the threads some regular users make about problems over at mainsite (and forums too). But douches like that guy I banned, that don't even attempt to make points beyond throwing insults at staff for the sake of it, well, those get the boot pretty fast.

    This site would probably never improve without criticism (not a bad personal view of the site in particular, it's something I believe about basically everything) but trolls that do nothing but call us retards I ban without second guessing.

    When I referred to well-stated critics being stifled I was thinking of someone else in particular who was banned only for making valid points against FA. A thread "Recent staff actions" was opened to complain about this, and immediately locked by administration.

    The last thing I wanted for that thread was to have "discussion" in it anyway.

    I don't remember the thread so I can't say for certain that this is what happened. However people forget that someone can be banned over private discussions. So while someone brings up perfectly reasonable critique in public, they could be harassing others in private.
    there's also a few cases where people have perfectly reasonable critique, but insist on derailing topics with it, which is against the rules no matter the content and can get you banned. So if someone is bringing up reasonable critique about the UI in a banner thread, they'll probably be infracted and that will add up if they keep at it.
    Considering we never give out ban reasons and allow the user to explain why they were banned, it tends to look like the guy that "only" gave reasonable critique was being silenced because they don't admit they harassed staff with PMs.

    I'd hardly call most of what is posted "well stated criticism". A great deal of it is nothing but long overdue bawwww, bashing, and thinly veiled insults written as a critique of some sort. You think a person would just not give a shit anymore, especially after such a long time. And don't use that old "I CARE ABOUT THIS SITE" line either. It's completely not believeable.

    Well, it looks like RedCoatCat resigned too. Seems there's only Luhka and Gavin left from Furocity now. Really has me wondering where that means FA is heading from here.
