Along with aerelm, I will post my remarks in Admin Discussion and in the vote itself.

Discussion

Allowing people to RP a furry, but disallowing Tbars and pics of a furry character strikes me as contradictory. In my opinion, we should either allow it or not. Either there is a place for furries in Disco, or there is not. Are furries part of Disco lore? No. Could they be? I suppose someone could RP a genetic manipulation between animal and human in some backwater science lab. There are a number of players that have years of RP already established with their furry characters. What happens to them? Would it come off as heavy handed if we arbitrarily decided to delete those characters?

I see nothing good from stepping in here and getting involved in this. Are they annoying? Yes, at times. Are they harmful? Not really. Can they be ignored? For the most part, yes. I think if we make any decision against RPing furry characters, it will incite even more hate and abuse against them.

If we eliminate them completely, which I'm not entirely opposed to, it would be better than a half way measure of allowing them to exist with a smaller pawprint on the forums. Get it? Pawprint? Eh, nevermind.

Vote

[N] Garrett Jax: I've changed my mind on this one. Furries have no place in Disco. Restrict them to the Reservation with the ponies.
