If someone requests the moderators do something, its only fair to allow people to request they do not. That is my main intention with that post (with reasoning as to why), nothing more.
...but, it is true that forums are made up of their community, and if the majority of the community doesn't want something, how can it be reasonably requested to stay?
Bah, fine I won't say anymore on the matter. You have a decent enough point. I just hope that things don't get to the point where I can't even discuss the show my avatar is from here.

You'll have to submit a ticket for this suggestion. The reason we do this is because someone can be another user's friend and jokingly insult them, but then someone else comes along, gets triggered for the sake of the person it's aimed toward, and then inappropriately categorizes it as harassment in a report. Joking friend user then gets in trouble. I know you are referring to a more specific situation, but this is why. If the harassed user doesn't feel like it's worth reporting, I don't really feel (personally) it's anyone else's business to be offended for them.
They are linked on the forum main page.

has there been a proper anonymous poll for this? the only times ive seen, everyone is public and knows who voted for what, and know that everyone else knows what they voted for, which creates a network of bias and fear and inconsistencies
which technically turns into a suggestion of having an official poll for this, but would have to be only seen by users who are 18+ and accounts that are atleast 2 months old and can be voted on for 2 weeks and the thread must not let anyone reply and then a disclaimer that the results are unlikely to cause any rule changes and it gets confusing very quickly
It is against our precedent to allow rule changes by poll. Newer sites like FLO have done this and the implosion afterwards is telling of what guideline polls can cause.

I don't think we need a poll on cub art or other kiddie shit.
It's a discussion forum. We're not going to remove people because we don't like their personal position on something (unless they're a part of a hate group or admit to being a real-world pedophile). The thread we're all referring to was yikes, but it was not cause for removal of any of the users that participated in it.
Personal opinion: removing these threads allows the people who participate in/enjoy the content to remain in the shadows... because it's not brought up, and less people see it. At least this way, when the content isn't outwardly harmful or malicious, users know which of their peers are interested in that content and I may get to ban a pedo after they not-so-smartly admit to being one.

I think we have a very strange approach inside the furry fandom that's very different to normal people.
So can I suggest asking some people in real life who aren't furries for their perspectives on this issue.
My personal perspective as someone who is not really a furry aside from collecting characters and moderating is that I don't want any borderline garbage or people who sympathize with it at all but I'm not the rules or the site. Send a ticket like I suggested.

I have done this. Unfortunately the ticket system can be something of an oubliette.
I noticed earlier in this discussion that it was stated FAF has no precedent for polls on this subject. I agree that it shouldn't have.
I believe though that following polls in 2006, which showed a large number of furries in favour, Fur Affinity began hosting drawn under-aged pornography- and this continued until 2010.
So I think this unfortunate history is probably is a *very good justification* for not relying on polls for such matters.

sorry, thats why i put the last part, i dont mean changing any rules, but just having more accurate numbers and percentages of whose positive/neutral/negative towards it
though ive realized, everyone would need to agree on the definitions or it doesnt work (theres already 2 terms that ive noticed, between this and my previous comment, that im not sure whats intended by them)

I'm stopping by to say I appreciate the new edit that allows us to upload new avatars on the forum without having to meet a minimum size/pixel requirement, that required me change the size before uploading.
This small change has saved me a lot of work.

Could we do away with the concept of protected groups? in my and many, many others' experience, all it does is create a toxic caste system that enables people from certain groups to act like assholes, which in turn has the opposite effect to what it's supposed to accomplish
There are no "protected groups." There are those who break rules and those who don't break rules. If one of those groups happens to break a certain rule more often than the others, then that is something that group must work on.
This is not the topic for moral debates about the forum, though.

This is about the main FA site -
I have a bit of a complaint about the user-hosted ads on Furaffinity. Normally, I don’t see the ads if I’m on PC because of adblock, but I do see them on mobile. I really think there should be a better filter on the ads, though. Even if the ones I’m seeing aren’t technically breaking any 18+ rules, they can still be EXTREMELY borderline, and I have encountered ads that make me uncomfortable and I can’t be the only one. When I already thought basic cropped NSFW was bad enough, but no, this also means ads that show barely cropped ANIMATED sex scenes, and multiple showing vore - one ANIMATED and another with images of detailed vore inflation. So many people have already suggested having a tag filter on FA to filter out fetish art - but it kinda defeats the purpose of this tool being implemented (if ever) when you can still get vore spammed in your face from ads anyway. I’m not necessarily saying these types of ads should be outright banned, but at least have some kind of filter on them if possible, which the user can toggle in their settings? Or maybe an option that says “do not show me this ad” at least? And if anyone tries to say ”buy premium”, well as far as I’m aware premium only removes third-party ads, not user content ads. So you’re stuck with poorly censored anime anthro cats fucking animation and rabbits eating cats explicitly anyway. :|
I wouldn’t say I experience these particularly borderline ads super frequently, but when they do show up I’m not expecting it and it’s just a major peeve of mine. I guess for me I could just not use FA on mobile, but still, there are other people that may not be able to use it on computer and are just as annoyed/uncomfortable by these types of ads.

Make it to where the website automatically updates your age when it's your birthday.
People use it for roleplay.

in here it has "Date of Birth": https://www.furaffinity.net/controls/settings/
in here it has "Age": https://www.furaffinity.net/controls/profile/
in theory, would it be possible to have it use your real age if its set to something like "X"?
that or having 2 age values, one for roleplay and one for your irl age?
would a one time per year notification that reminds you to update it, be helpful?
