Topic: "This is not Furry it doesn't Belong Here" and other dilemmas

Yes, yes it does. Believe it or not, we have mods and admins here, and they are not you. If we don't want something here, the speed at which we currently receive new posts is slow enough that we will remove it. This also includes comments like 'take this shit off the site'. I am going to start banning fuckers if people keep trying to backseat mod.

I would assume this is common sense, but hey, here goes:

DO: Point out duplicate images via a deletion request with a link to the original image. This is very helpful, and appreciated.

DO: Comment on images in the comments. That does not necessarily mean your comments must be flowers and roses, but also don't try to be a blatant troll. Try to make some sort of point in each post, for good or bad.

DO: Tag images/fix tags yourself if possible, instead of posting 'this tag is wrong'. If you know it's wrong, fix it. However, remember the cardinal rule here too - post what you SEE in the image, not things that have to be described from an external source. (Examples of this - if a character looks 10 but artist says it's 700 years old, keep cub tag. If character looks exactly like a unicorn but artist says its actually a turtle, you should probably tag it as a unicorn.)

DO: Use tag filters to filter content you don't like or want to see, or grow a thick enough skin you can learn to ignore it. Gore, cub, gay, straight, amputation, sonic art - there's lots of stuff you might not personally like, but we're not here to cater to a single person, or even a group of people. If you don't like it, ignore it and move on. If you are having trouble doing this, this site may not be right for you.

DO NOT: Make the majority of your comments 'oh man I want to yiff this' and then go into graphic detailed fanfiction of how you will accomplish this, or other similarly creepy comments about your masturbation habits. Post if you like it, but keep the really creepy stuff to a minimum, folks.

DO NOT: Backseat moderate. If you have a problem with the moderation policies in place, please feel free to contact us through the myriad of ways available - IRC, Forum, etc. and discuss them like reasonable people. Don't throw a tantrum if you don't get your way.

DO NOT: Make posts specifically to troll or incite people. There is a difference here between giving negative feedback on an image and outright trolling - I am putting trust in our user base that they're mature enough to know the difference. If you dislike something, feel free to note it if you must, but try to be a little classy about it.

DO NOT: Ask to be made an mod, or try to act like one in order to show how 'good' you'd be as one. It just makes you look like a dick. When and if we need new mods, we're definitely not picking from people who look like they're making a power/superiority play here. The best thing you can do, honestly, is be a helpful poster and frequent contributor of quality material, and get involved with the site through IRC or the comments/forum.

---Thank you.---

If we work together, we can make this site a pretty classy place to be, for a site all full of horrific animal-man porn and all. Leave the drama and cliche furry overreactions for other places, and keep this place nice. I put my faith in you.
