We have a new report system! You can now report messages or members for breaking rules without the need to approach a moderator directly.

  • Keep in mind that you can only report specific topics, outlined in ⁠#announcements message

Note: This is currently a trial run. If we feel it doesn't work out, we may discontinue using the system.

πŸ“ Date: 25th of July | Discord Update

  • AF Ratings Notifications via Bot
  • We've learned that Discord does not notify users of pings when a thread is closed. For organization purposes, moderators have been closing threads after answering them, which unintentionally made it more difficult for users to find their answered ratings questions. To balance both organization and ensure users are notified, Dyno will now DM links to the answered thread in #1261095299309633646

πŸ“ Date: 5th of August 2024 | Discord Update

  • #art-trades (art-trades) has reopened. To access this channel, you must have the mail role, which is granted by making an introduction in #introductions that includes a link to your Art Fight profile.

We do not have an ETA for when Minigames or the Voice Chat channels open at this time.

#

πŸ“ Date: 27th of August | Discord Update

  • The ratings help forum has been renamed to af-filters. Please use the forum if you have any questions about filtering! See this message for details: #1262111022047821987 message
  • The voice chat channels have reopened! Please read through the Voice Channel rules before joining.
  • We have made the decision to disable speaking due to an increase in inappropriate conversations and general user safety concerns. We hope that the switch to conversation through voice text will make it easier for user misconduct to be reported. This can be done by messaging an available Chat Moderator. Contributors and boosters can still stream.
  • As a result, voice channels will remain open during on-season.
  • #character-chatter is now closed. You will have a week (until <t:1725397200:F>) to save links, images, etc. before it is archived for the off-season. It will return next year.
  • Staff icons have been changed from unicode characters to emojis for accessibility reasons. Note that Behavior Rule #7 is still in effect.

πŸ”§ Date: 10th of March 2025 | Site Updates, QoL

  • Blocking Improvements: We've made a number of fixes regarding the blocking system. If you block someone, they shouldn't be able to see you anywhere on the site (search, featured users, random, etc.), and vice versa (if someone blocks you). If you see any place we've missed, please report it! Additionally, if you have someone blocked and go to their profile, it will now be hidden by default. You can unhide it by clicking a button that will temporarily allow you to view their profile.

  • Birthday Changes You can now change your birthday one time. To do so, go to the 'Account Information' tab in your settings. Please do not abuse this feature - falsifying your birthday is a bannable offense. Once you change your birthday, you will not be able to change it again, with no exceptions.

πŸ”§ Date: 12th of March 2025 | Site Updates, QoL

  • A few additional blocking system updates have been made, regarding attacks.
  • Mass-deletion of bookmarks is now available on the manage bookmarks page! Select the bookmarks you want to delete by clicking the respective check boxes and delete them through the 'Delete Selected' button.
  • You can now bookmark characters directly from the character search page! We've also changed the UI a bit so that it is visually consistent with characters on profiles.

πŸ”§ Date: 8th of April 2025 | Site Updates, QoL

  • Bookmark Folders: Bookmarks can now be grouped into folders, with customizable names, descriptions, colors, and icons. You can have a maximum of 7 folders, not including the 'Unorganized' folder, which is where your current bookmarks will be. Bookmarks can be moved between folders by editing the bookmark directly or selecting multiple bookmarks to move while viewing a folder. We've changed the layout while viewing bookmarks, but you can switch between that and the old layout by interacting with the view switcher.

  • Bug Fixes

    • Fixed issue where clicking a character's image thumbnail would occasionally open the full image in a new tab instead of switching the image on the current page
    • Fixed issue where bookmarks were not directly editable on the 'manage bookmarks' page

#

πŸ”§ Date: 25th of May 2025 | Security, Bug Fixes

  • Two-Factor Authentication: Two-factor authentication can now be enabled in your settings, under the new password-protected 'security' tab. Click the 'Enable 2FA' button to begin.

You will need an authenticator app such as Ente Auth or 2FAS to scan the QR code presented. If you're unable to scan a QR code (e.g. you're a mobile user), you can copy-paste the provided key into your authenticator app instead. During the setup process, you are also shown a set of recovery codes, which we recommend you store in a safe place separate from your authenticator app. If you lose access to your authenticator app, these codes can be used as an alternative. To ensure that you have setup 2FA correctly, you are required to confirm the 6-digit code provided by your authenticator app.

Once enabled, you will be required to enter the 6-digit code provided by your authenticator app on every login. 2FA can also be disabled in the 'security' tab.

  • Bug Fixes
    • Fixed issue with multiple BBCode tags not being displayed correctly, including [imgleft], [imgright], [code], and user mentions (e.g. @admin)
    • Fixed profile CSS not being editable

    • Please read our Art Rules before posting. Failure to comply may result in removal from the server.
  • The off-topic channel has been archived permanently; we do not anticipate its return. The general channels' descriptions have been modified to reflect their intended use as general discussion channels, and not just limited to Art Fight.
    • We have made this decision as a result of consistent abuse of image permissions.
  • Voice-chat-2 and voice-chat-3 have been archived permanently.

  • #art-trades and # advertisements have been temporarily hidden and will return when read-only mode ends.
  • Due to the closure of messaging channels, no new User Reports can be created during this time.
  • The server will be taken out of read-only mode on October 1st, 2025.

πŸ“ Date: 18th of September | Discord Update <@&1410082977064550430>

  • Added two sub-rules to Chat Rule #1:
    • 1.1 Do not contact multiple moderators about the same issue at once. If you need staff assistance, reach out to a single moderator and allow them time to respond.
    • 1.2: Harassment or incivility toward staff members will not be tolerated. This includes repeatedly demanding action after being given an answer.
    • As a reminder, users may contact a moderator for clarification regarding disciplinary actions taken on them, but disagreements regarding any ruling a moderator has made must be taken to a higher up. Moderators are not required to continue engaging in any debate regarding any ruling made by the moderation team once redirected to contact a higher up.
  • Added a sub-rule to Art Rule #1:
    • 1.3: Requesting currency/goods/services in exchange for codes to access invite-only platforms (E.g: Toyhouse, Vgen, etc.) is not permitted in this server. Codes to such platforms must be freely given.
      • We have added this rule to enforce compliance with website policies for sites such as Vgen. Despite the selling/trades of ToyHouse invite codes not being directly against their policies, we’re enforcing this in compliance with the Toyhou.se admin's discouragement of selling codes.
  • Adjusted wording of Art Rule #4.1 to better align with Art Fight's zero tolerance policy towards AI generated content:
    • 4.1: AI generated images, text, designs, AI assisted artwork (including tracing over AI generated work or AI inspired work), and NFTs may not be posted, advertised, or suggested in Art Fight spaces under any circumstances. Doing so may result in removal from the Art Fight Discord server.

πŸ“ Date: 21st of September | Discord Update

  • Revisited our anti-markdown measures to better protect our channels from spam that disrupts conversation.
    • With the exception of Art Trades, Advertisements, and some Minigame (-the-person-above-you) channels, users will no longer be able to use formatting markdown (lists and blockquotes), regardless of where it appears in the message.
    • Title markdown (#, ##, ###) is now properly blocked in all channels.
    • Text markdown (bold, italics, underline, strikethrough, & spoilers) remain unchanged.
      This exception has been made to allow users participating in Minigames to use lists for character options and to offer unique formatting options in the art trades and advertisement channels. We still ask that markdown be used in moderation and abuse of these features will result in disciplinary action.

  • Prettified contributor-roles (available to Contributors+) and added five new role icon colour options for VIPs and Sponsors.
  • Added a role icon for Boosters.
  • Temporarily archived giveaways and booster-giveaways due to issues with manually applying Premium status on-site.
    • Currently, there is no way to grant Premium status without impacting the site’s Contribution bar. This isn’t ideal and is difficult to revert, so we’d like a proper internal feature coded for free Premium before these channels return.
  • Flipped the AF Channels and VIP / Contributors categories in the channel list to keep our information channels closer together.
  • Archived the Streaming 3 voice channel. This channel is used infrequently and the ability to stream concurrently in the larger streaming channels makes this one obsolete.

We are expanding the advertising channel to cover non-monetary content, such as social media promotions (Twitch / YouTube streams, free DTIYS raffles, etc.) and group art projects (multi-animator, collaborations, etc.).

Please keep in mind that all advertisements and links should be safe for Art Fight spaces and abide by server rules. NSFW, whether implied suggestive content or explicit, is not allowed.
