Upload Policy Changes
We’ve updated the Upload Policy with a few minor changes to make the document easier to read, and to be more specific as to what’s covered. Specific changes below have been highlighted in bold.
2.1 Submissions Used as Reminders
-- Users may post reminder submissions so long as they meet the following requirements:
-- Up to 3 reminder submissions total may be posted within a 24 hour time frame. This limit applies to all accounts owned by the creator.
-- Rating must match the highest rating of the content that is being promoted.
-- Users may not post reminder submissions on behalf of other creators.
-- Reminder submissions must comply with all other rules in the Upload Policy (e.g. UP 2.9 Duplicate Content). Attempting to bypass these limitations may result in escalated penalties.
We’ve simplified our policy on reminders to make it easier to read and understand. With this update, routine abusers will no longer receive a warning about exceeding the limit, and may find their accounts temporarily suspended.
2.8 Content Lacking Artistic Merit
Submissions lacking artistic merit, such as photographs focusing on body parts without creative content, text-only images, empty documents, or that have been modified to be mostly unviewable through the use of filters, blurring, or censorship are not allowed.
We’ve also updated section 2.8 to cover users uploading non-creative images of random body parts or using filters, blurring, or censorship to render their images otherwise unviewable.
While the rules updates are visible now, we will not be enforcing these changes until 14 days have passed (Mar 23) to allow users to have time to bring their gallery into compliance if needed.
Code of Conduct
Additionally, we've made some changes to the Code of Conduct.
3.4 Do not spam.
We do not allow messaging with unsolicited advertising, promotions, or repetitive content that are unintelligible or intended to clutter pages with unwanted content.
Users engaging in excessive spamming as defined above risk having all comments, shouts, and/or notes deleted and receiving a final warning or permanent suspension.
Additionally, we've added a new policy to the Code of Conduct.
3.5 Do not promote crypto currency and NFTs
Fur Affinity does not allow for the promotion of crypto currency or NFT platforms.
Other Minor Upload Policy and Code of Conduct Changes:
-- Minor formatting changes
-- Swapped the wording of “not permitted” to “not allowed”.
-- Modified the suspension times for policy enforcement. Instead of 1 day, 1 week, 1 month it is now 1 day, 3 days, 1 week.

We’ve rolled out some additional changes to the search engine, such as additional presets and the ability to search by date range. You can now time travel in style through FA’s upload history, and you don’t even need a Delorean!

Data Server Expansion Drive
We’re saving up to expand our storage servers, and increase our long term capacity to support features like MP4 and WEBM video, high resolution file upload support, profile banners, and more!
Our goal is about $24,000 to expand our storage, which would be comprised of three data storage servers with enough estimated capacity for five years. This increase will better allow us to provide the features you want with far less limitations.
Want to help us reach our goal? We’ve got a few ways to contribute.
