It could also be because rather than trying to state your case on the issue in a civil manner, you instead decided to insult and slander anybody who disagreed with you. Your attitude spoke louder than your message.

As for this idea itself, I don't really see the point of it. If you're following somebody, you're already going to see their artwork, why do you need a reminder that you have them on follow? It would just distract from the image itself and add nothing of any true value or function.

This is also a great idea!

I actually came up with a similar proposal.

Easier doesn't always mean right.

It sounds like you're in this more for a fight than anything. If you were truly bothered to the point that it makes you want to leave the site, you wouldn't even be on Inkbunny even as a "white knight" there to tag artwork properly.

Artists are going to forget to tag things. It happens on every website. I don't like seeing scat, I find it literally sickening. So I blacklist the tag (on sites that allow tag blocking), and if I see one that the artist didn't tag, I tag it (...on sites that allow community tags) so it doesn't appear for me, or others like me anymore.

If you want to leave Furry Network if they don't ban something that you don't like, that's your prerogative. But judging by your own admission that you still use Inkbunny despite their lack of a ban on cub porn, it's very obviously nothing more than an empty threat. You're not in this because you actually care about the issue, you just want a fight on the Internet.

Sorry for seeing right through you.

I think you're misunderstanding the idea I'm putting forth. I'm not suggesting that we simply blacklist the "cub" tag -- that's a completely separate thing. What I'm proposing is a new type of content filter, exactly the same as the ones used to block 18+ content from the general public. You can't see content rated as Mature unless you go into your profile and agree to view the content; this would be exactly the same concept. Not all cub art would fall under this category, only the cub art that would also fall under the restrictions of Adult and/or Explicit. It's an extra layer of "I don't want to see this" that doesn't have anything to do with the "Cub" tag itself that would be on General-rated content.

As for your argument that all artists would have to make sure to use the same tag or option, that holds true for literally every piece of content on this site. If somebody draws something explicit and doesn't rate it as such, they're gonna get a visit from the moderation staff and the submission is pulled. It would work no differently if this new rating were added to the site -- break the rules, your content (and your account) is gone. You can't hold the site and the other users who would follow the rules and procedures accountable for those who choose not to.

If you're on, say, Twitter and somebody starts posting inappropriate content without marking it as sensitive (thus blocking it for anybody who doesn't click "Yeah I wanna see"), who's at fault when EVERYBODY can see it? Is it Twitter, the general public of Twitter, yourself for using Twitter, or the one person who posted the image without the proper safeguards?

"Aside from it, the pictures are still there and possible to view for everyone else."

Not if it's opt-IN rather than opt-OUT. Opt-IN means it starts out disabled by default and you have to knowingly and willingly toggle it on before the content appears. Nobody would see any of it unless they went into their account options and deliberately turned on the Cub filter.

I hope I cleared up what appear to be misconceptions, and not attempts to strawman the argument.

Just as an addition, this idea of tag combo blacklisting could also be relevant to the ongoing cub art debate. Cub+sex as a single blacklist entry will block all instances from appearing without blocking non-sexual cub art or non-cub sexual art.

As a writer, Markdown is absolutely terrible for me. It doesn't offer the proper tools for formatting a story and requires me to go through everything line-by-line and reformat it using a method that's unintuitive for my purposes. Markdown might be good for some applications, but it's awful for something like writing or submitting a story to a site whose partial intention is to give writers a place to publish their work.

Really, Markdown is the main thing keeping me from feeling like I can properly contribute to this site. It's just painful to use.

I definitely support this idea. I'd love for the site to have more colorful, "friendlier" options. I've never been a fan of websites that are just varying shades of gray and black.

Thumbnail support would definitely help, or at least a "short summary" that you can type out. The user can then scroll over your thumbnail / short summary to get an extended look and see if the story is something they'd be interested in.

Anything more concise that would allow the reader to quickly scroll through the list of stories would be an improvement. As it is, it's a bit of a pain compared to the rest of the site, especially if a writer gets verbose with his description. Perhaps dropping the font size on the site itself so there can be two columns rather than one?
