Policy update.

Not to be an alarmist, but your account may be in danger. The website is expanding their definitions of "underage characters," and this includes small, on model pokemon.

FA being extremely FA

in short (well... as much as Im able to make it) : There was an internal policy update that was very vaguely defined in order to tackle childs in nsfw and also classified some pokemons as being inherently 'child-like' (no list given at the moment the update dropped).

However base on the vagueness of the wording in the policy led to many people being rightfully concerned that they would get false flagged under that rule, specially those with cute/chibi art styles regardless of the character's age.

After a lot of pushback and several people leaving and deleting their galleries, FA pushed a clarification in which they tried to smooth out the PR crisis but still kept the vague terms in.

After that (and most recently) they put out an FAQ in which, while they now defined more of the target of the update; but also gave some concerning standpoints: IE. Vore is SFW and minors can partake on it; Minors below the age of 13 shouldn't be depicted as pregnant but older than that is fair game. among other things.

...so yeah, there's been a lot of contradictions throughout it all and what started as rightful confusion slowly brew into a PR crisis where balance was not found, so a bunch of peeps seem to be leaving.

someone else explained it better but basically FA is on fire and the team has been trying to put that fire out by throwing oil on it

Quite frankly the internal policy update has lead to FA becoming not viable for me anymore. So personally making the jump to Weasyl for my online gallery along with using twitter and my discord server as well.
