QuoteBecause the hostile attitude from forum administration towards not only the "anti-cookie" sentiment, but the people involved in the discussion themselves, might have made those involved with the last discussion hesitant to actually act on the matter for fear of punishment. I'm sure this thread will travel down that same path soon enough as well.[X] The administration is not hostile but just making sure you all follow the forum rules and perhaps stop and think about what you are doing by threads like this. The "mind your own business" rule on the forums is there to keep players from trying to force their opinions on someone else when it is really none of their concern what that person does. It is not inheirently hostile to enforce rules, it is hostile to purposefully break them.

[X] How do you know how old that person is? Why do you care? How does it possibley hurt you? If you do not like how this works, don't participate, but don't ruin the fun for those who do like participating. I'd guess by your reactions that you are around 16 and struggling with working your way through "justice" development levels. You've had a lot to say on the forum recently, most of which is about fairness. You will learn eventually to take life as it comes and worry more about how you treat others than how they treat you.
[X] Furcadia is an international community. Many people with different backgrounds, values, ethics and beliefs participate. The same applies to the audience of our forum. You'll encounter furres that have opinions that you totally disagree with, and topics that are controversial. You are entitled to your opinion, and so is everyfurre. We ask, however, that every forum participant respects the views of other furres. Agree to disagree, discuss and argue constructively -- do not resort to name-calling or slanderous accusations. Let your arguments speak for themselves without taking it to a personal level. Flames are discouraged, personal attacks and insults are a violation of the forum guidelines. Attack a furre's statement, do not attack the furre herself.
tldr;- Please give the community what it actually wants, not just make willy nilly things.- Give us information about the account system. Where is it at, what's being added, etc. It's been five years.- Shape up the staff image. It's sad how many people are put off by the certain individuals and their behavior.
While I agree to some extents that things could run a lot more smoothly, I think a lot of people have themselves to blame for the attitude received.I find it funny you posted this for the reasons mentioned, Narnia, because last time I checked you fit that bill just as well. May I remind you that you temp-banned me from the forums because you personally were tired of me and wished to not see me around for a while, even though the initial claim I made proved true? Pretty much your exact words; "Oh, I see you're right, but I'm banning you anyway because I feel like it - I pay the bills, I get to say what's good to go." Yet you seem pretty intent on accusing DEP - or rather, more specifically, Emerald Flame - of doing similar, if not the same.I have seen you go around and post arguments for the sake of arguing, just to nitpick on Shinichi because your views don't mesh with his. And when behavior like that gets threads locked over and over again, you are actually surprised that people like EF get tired and shorten their fuses? Please, give me a break.I have a major problem with how you manage these communities, and I'm pretty sure Cironir and the rest of the staff have been tired of all the extra bullshit said communities cause from alt trading scams to harassment over stolen portraits. If anything, it has been the cause of extra workload keeping staff from doing what they should do. How many times have DEP staff stepped in on these forums to remind people not to do certain things?Yet have you seen them make a large post on their forums to gather opinions on FAM/FAZ and start boycotting you? No. They still dutifully help your communities out regardless of all the bullshit they've caused.So what I'm seeing here is another BAWWWWW thread because you can't have your way. This isn't meant to help anyone, and you know it very well. You're being a hypocrite asshole, blaming EF of doing exactly what you're doing. Except EF doesn't ban people because she feels like it.If you want to stop supporting DEP, then do it quietly. People can make up their own minds, threads like these just show how 'mature' you really are.Goodbye FAM/FAZ, I don't think I'll miss it. I refuse to support a community led by an imbecile like Narnia, lmao.
There is a large difference between running a non-profit community website and a business. Narnia can do what he wants because he doesn't really lose anything by turning away people he doesn't like, whereas DEP loses money.

This isn't about Narnia, this is about DEP. We know you have issues with him, and that's fine. However, keep it out of this thread, since this is NOT the place for it.If you have that big of an issue with him, you're free to speak to him (civilly) or stop using the forums alltogether.
sorry i tl;dr'd most of this, so i apologize if i repeat things1. i did read Hugo's post, and i agree. the digos look sloppy. (boar? what... i just don't like it. & the bug thing, ew) there are TOO MANY of them, period. more specifically, too many feral avs. those, imo, are the sloppiest i've seen. DEP cranks out new ones almost every month, c'mon. i suggest they lower the price of the digos--a permanant change--to where more people can afford them, and they'll more than likely see an increase of sales. yes, i know they have sales with incentives and shit, but i don't always want what comes WITH the sale package.summary: quality product, fair price.also, why can't we buy shirts and stuff separately? do we HAVE to get a life drag / special package that costs up to $100 if we just want the t-shirt? i'm also a stuffed animal dork and i'd love to buy a stuffie from DEP. i think they had a good idea incorporating DogProxy into Furcadia itself. add more features to Furc rather than HEY LOOK ITS A NEW FERAL AVATAR OLOLOLi'll be back to finish my post i have a bad headache

The beautiful thing about the internet is that if you don't agree with how something is being run, you are perfectly welcome to go off and do your own thing.This means that if Lovedoll doesn't like how Narnia is running FAM and FAZ, she can go elsewhere and start her own community. The same applies to the Furc forums, it's censorship central and disagreeing with people, no matter how wrong or how stupid they are, is against the rules. This is part of why I rarely visit the furc forums.
