Okay folks. Here it is in a nutshell...

Since the inception of the NO sexyfur policy here at datorrents. We have had to repeatedly delete offending posts, images, and in general complete ignorance of the rules. This ends now.

As of this week, we are PLANNING to remove the furry section, unless you, the users, can put up a VALID ARGUEMENT to otherwise. Opinions, need/greed (this is the only site i go to for my furries), will be disregarded completely. I want feedback on what YOU guys are willing to do, and such. I had assurances from you guys that it will not happen anymore, yet 2 of the accounts i removed, are LONGSTANDING gallery and forum contributors...

That does not bode well. We have a regular staff person assigned to JUST the furry section. I will not hire another dedicated person just for FURRIES. If you want to help the gallery, you help the community, not just furries...

While we have had a large number of people apply for gallery staff, it seems that its merely to save the furry section ... Again to me, born of desperation.

I would like feedback as to why the furry section should be spared the axe. Here are the Pro's and Con's as I see them.

Pro's : Of course, alot of fans come, post, and contribute. As well as spark some rather lively discussions. We even have one or two very talented artists that contribute explicitly to the Furry Section.

Con's : To date, has resulted in numerous legal issues. To date, is the only section of the gallery with ONE person assigned strictly to it. Repeated rule violations resulting in 40-50 accounts and such being deleted/banned and numerous IP's being banned as well. Failure to follow simple rules in the gallery discussion section (yes, there are RULES posted in there for the gallery.)

As many can see from this point, there are quite a few Cons to it, and they FAR outweigh the Pro's to continuing to house furry images here. We would very much like to hear YOUR outlook on this!~
