Mod Post; Furaffinity Liaison Announcement

[oceandezignz.livejournal.com]

While we realize this has already made the rounds in other social media outlets and communities, the staff of Artist Beware would like to announce with unhappy hearts that Bazeel was let go from his Administrative position at FurAffinity.

This means officially that A_B no longer has any recourse to verify scamming FA users with multiple accounts, and the like.

We are also not currently aware of how FA plans to handle tickets regarding scammers, but all we can do is tell you to file them and hope for the best.

We'd also like to take this moment to thank Bazeel for all he has done for us, and the community of FA; to keep users protected from scamming individuals both seller and buyer.

We all wish him the best.

I want to add that I made an attempt to ask Dragoneer for help with an IP match in hopes they were still willing to help AB with these issues, but I was ignored. So I'm taking that as FA not being interested in helping AB directly any longer.

What a shame, but not a surprise.

[lackoflollies.livejournal.com]

Thank-you Bazeel.

[celestinaketzia.livejournal.com]

Thank you for helping while you could, Bazeel.

[sacch.livejournal.com]

Thank you, Bazeel, for everything you've done for us!

[zackfig.livejournal.com]

Really sad by this announcement =(

[timelapsedecay.livejournal.com]

:/ Awful. Bazeel was really worth his salt. Can't believe they let him go

[skanrashke.livejournal.com]

Thanks for all your time and dedication Bazeel!

[splatterhouse.livejournal.com]

That place has a wicked staff turnover rate.

[lem0ntrees.livejournal.com]

It's a shame, Bazeel did some real good while he was liason. Hopefully FA chooses to continue this practice.

Thank you, Bazeel, for all that you did for A_B and for FA.

Bless you Based Bazeel for all you did for us!

[arphalia.livejournal.com]

Hey Baz! (If you see this..) I wanted to say that even though I only had a few months to work with you through A_B, your assistance was much appreciated. :)

[mazz.livejournal.com]

...and with that the last staff member of FA i had respect for is gone.

:/ Thanks for trying to help while you could Bazeel, I'm sure Weasyl would love skill such as yours that FA tossed aside.

[ryunwoofie.livejournal.com]

Thank you Bazeel for all your time and effort. We really appreciate it. <3

[china-kitty.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much Bazeel! You really lent us a hand in this.

[chronidu.livejournal.com]

A million thanks to Bazeel for being the one Admin who actually did their job.

And a heavy heart that that is apparently the exact reason you were fired. Building a name through yourself by helping others, giving us an Admin we could actually feel safe with, doing your job excellently, and being efficient is one hell of a shitty reason to be fired.

[cyiakanami.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much Bazeel! You did so much for what you were allowed to do and we are all grateful for it!

[kadaria.livejournal.com]

Thank you Bazeel for all of your help with the A_B community.

[sleetfury.livejournal.com]

Never really had the pleasure to talk with him but it was wonderful to see him around while it lasted. Many thanks for everything.

[kaliedosock.livejournal.com]

Thank you, Bazeel. Your work was greatly appreciated by all of us.

[deejthistle.livejournal.com]

Thank you for looking out for both A_B and FA, Bazeel.

[neolucky.livejournal.com]

Seriously, Bazeel was one of the very best people we had in terms of contact to help catch scammers on FA. It's really saddening that we can no longer have that and I feel they are losing an incredibly productive team member.

Thanks for all the hard for Baz! Hope you stick around here, you are a really level headed person and your input is always welcome.

[bazeel-pooka.livejournal.com]

I'll be arouuuund.

[norsepaw.livejournal.com]

Thank you Bazeel for helping AB out!

[thaily.livejournal.com]

Gonna miss you in your administrative capacity, Bazeel :(

[morti-macabre.livejournal.com]

And another admin who actually got things done and improved the community is gone.

GG FA.

edit because spelling and also Thanks, Baz! D: Sorry it turned out like this.

[tyrano-tiggs.livejournal.com]

Goddammit Neer, getting rid of one of the only good ones :(

Sorry Baz; you were awesome and all the work you did is appreciated by us, even if it isn't by FA
take care
xx

[likeshine.livejournal.com]

thanks bazeel ;_;

[cappucola.livejournal.com]

what a shame :( but thank you Bazeel for all your hard work and dedication!

[doggiy.livejournal.com]

That's too bad. Thanks for all the time you spent helping everyone out on FA, Bazeel! ;w;

[friskecrisps.livejournal.com]

Just another nail in the coffin for FA

[werewolfofwater.livejournal.com]

Well, he was a good admin, and you know, FA can't be having any of those.

[hidden-kyuubi.livejournal.com]

Of course FA will fire the only good staff it has. I think they're on a streak of trying to get to a certain level of huge before crash and burning...
Bazeel, FA is a much more horrible place w/o you on staff, and we will miss you.

[dragontripmon.livejournal.com]

Wow but somehow this does not surprise me. It's almost like FA wants to have an even worse relationship with the users. I wonder what are they up to with this change of staff?

[criu.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much, Bazeel!
I'm very much a lurker and I don't go on FA but I know how hard you worked. I'm still incredibly impressed with your hard work and it pains me to know that you're no longer in power. ;_;

[bazeel-pooka.livejournal.com]

Thank you everyone. The supportive words haven't fallen on deaf ears, and I honestly appreciate every kind word I've gotten here (Since I don't get them anywhere else as an Admin...Ha! Ha!).

I'll still be around, I juust won't be able to -do- much anymore!
