I know I am not the only one who have had problems with the forum moderators and administrators of Fluff-Friends in Facebook. Most of them are stuck up and very immature, and I'm sad that even those who are not like them gets dragged into this name calling business because the ones who are the rudest and most stuck up seem to get the most attention than those who are nice and friendly.
I started fluffing around 2007 or 2008, I can't exactly recall when, but I know its been years. I have gotten quite addicted to the game, because they offered such a marvelous place to trade items and interact with other users. Or So I thought.
The first year of fluffing was great, I had such a great time. No hassle, just meeting and greeting tons of friends, interacting, chatting, trading. TRADING! thats what got me addicted to this Facebook Game, and the Raffles that were hosted by fellow fluffers. Just amazing.
After being addicted for months, I took a short break. Just to balance my priorities, because fluffing seemed to take so much of my time. When I got back to the Forums, the air was different, the vibe, the feel, the rules all changed.
I have done a lot of adjusting, making new friends, because a lot have quit when I was on break, adjusted to new reals, and I guessed along the way I pissed off a lot of the moderators of the Fluff-Friends Forum, and pissed moderators (Violina, Cinda, who is now known as Efalent and kaitlynn) would lead to pissed Administrator -- Krystal Seidel.
I tried to put up with the vaulting of my threads and constant harassment I received from the moderators, until finally I had to take a break. A fun game was made really biased by people who were supposed to make the game experience organized and fun. I took a break around March.
I decided I will stop fluffing completely, I didn't return until late this august, where I decided to give away my 3 foxees in the form of a raffle, where the entry fee was to like my real life contest thingies. It was vaulted. Of course it was, that was because fluff items should not be raffled off for real life entry fees. Completely understandable. So I drew the raffle after less than 48 hours after opening the raffle. Which was fine by me, I wanted to give the items away anyway.
Then start of July, I got addicted to chibi arts, I remembered, there are a lot of great artists in the Fluff-friends forum, and I decided to come back.
3 days ago, I started to login to fluff friends again, I decided to hold an art challenge in the services thread, that was VAULTED after 12 hours of being posted. They said that they will not allow contests from me because I again did not abide to their rules, where they said that all raffles will be approved by them first before I should execute. So I didn't push through with the art challenge, Instead I put up an ART GALLERY thread where I requested for Siggies and Paid for them in FLUFF Gold. I paid ALL of the people who maid siggies for me in FLUFF GOLD, most of them even said that what I paid them in return for the siggies was way too generous, but I was happy to do it, because I loved their work.
Then tonight... Tonight, after just 3 days of returning to the forums, where after 3 days already 3 of my threads were vaulted. the ART GALLERY thread was again vaulted.
The message from the ADMINISTRATOR - KRYSTAL SEIDEL:
"If you want users to draw you a signature and you pay each artist, this needs to be a service.
If you want users to draw you a signature and you only pay one artist (the best) which you choose, this needs to be a contest.
We have a directory of artists already sticked in this forum.
If you'd like a gallery of your own pictures, please use any of the free photo hosting services on the internet (photobucket, flickr) or your own Facebook profile where you have the ability to share albums to your friends or to anyone, while keeping your own profile private.
You've already been informed several times by the Moderation Team of the rules of this forum. Please send a private message to any moderator before starting another thread of this nature because you seem to keep missing what they are telling you."
So then I messaged the moderators telling them that I have PAID for all the artists work and that will continue to pay for what I ordered.
Since the thread that I had - THE ART GALLERY was vaulted, I decided to keep track of the Siggy orders I have, by making a new thread, just to place the current and pending siggies being done for me.
and ALAS, after a few minutes, my account was logged off from the fluff-friends forums and when I tried to log in, it said that my account was suspended for 2 weeks.
So what was I suspended for?
I was suspended for loving art, for making a thread that requested for artists to make me an art that I have paid and have continued and will continue to pay for in Fluff Gold.
I do not see nor understand my offense. Except that the moderators hated me, and tried to find ways and means to get me out of the fluff-friends forum, or even maybe they have been trying to find ways to ban me from the game.
I am not going to hand it to them in a silver platter, I have been very tolerant of their indecent behavior, and they have been more than unfair in treating me and other people that I know.
I am speaking now, because I KNOW I have done no offense, and should not be treated the way the Fluff-friends moderators, and administrators have been treating me.
I've put up with their unfair treatment since they all began their reign in the forums, but now I can not take it anymore. It has gone far enough, and its time the developers and all the people around knows that they have FAILED.
