I would say hopefully this will satisfy the angry mob crying for them to ban it entirely, but i know it won't. I just hope FN doesn't capitulate and ban it anyway just to appease these people... Censorship is a fucking terrible thing, and i can't believe an artist of all people is asking for it, just because it isn't her thing. You'd think someone who draws fetish art would understand all too well how dangerous this is.

No it's not. Where does the "censor this because it personally bothers me!" end?

First it's cub art.

Next it's rape.

Then gore.

Then vore?

It's a slippery slope and it is NOT a path this fandom needs to tread. Letting people hide things that bother them is fine. Even having certain things that are known to be commonly disliked hidden automatically, and optionally viewed is fine too. Not allowing people to post that art at all is unacceptable though, and sets a poor precident for the future.

Yeah, you'd obviously want people to KNOW about it so they don't just absent-mindedly browse the entire site without realizing they're not seeing a ton of stuff.

This is great for the few users who actually think to click it, but the real advantage of having Fresh be the default, is newer images get the advantage of that "first glance notice" from the average user looking at the front page without thinking to look on their own.

Now just by design this doesn't work as well as somewhere like FA where literally going to furaffinity.com takes you to the main art feed. Furrynetwork.com just takes you straight to your "What's new?" feed, and thus cuts people off from casually noticing some new eye-catching piece on their way to their new watched content.

As a whole I think this requires just a couple small changes. Going to the main site should take one to the main "new art" feed, and it should be actual new artwork, and not pieces that are already getting large view counts.

The popular feed is a great idea, but it should come secondary to trying to promote new works by lesser known artists. We want to raise everyone up within the community equally, not simply feed more views to those who are already well known. Letting people look at those getting a lot of attention as a secondary measure is a nice feature though, but should not be the default.

hard to hurt a site no one goes to.

I would absolutely expect, nay REQUIRE this site to have 2 step auth if it plans on having me put money through it for paying commissions. I would not put my payment methods at risk on a site that did not provide this vital and very effective security measure.

Aside from the payment service, this would also just be a good thing to have in general for a site i plan to use regularly.
