    Reminder regarding blacklisted websites
    While Mugen Free For All strives to provide a warehouse directory for all M.U.G.E.N content made throughout the engine's existence, various creators across the world may choose to adopt different methods of hosting. While many of these sites are safe, some are not. Over the past few months, we've noticed a growing number of such sites, which we have had to remove. Either due to ethical/moral concerns over monetizing free content, or due to security exploits, we have had to blacklist these websites. We ask that you do not link to any of these blacklisted websites, as these links will be deleted on sight and the person responsible will be infracted, with repeat violations warranting further disciplinary action if necessary. If you notice any of these links, we ask you to please use the report to staff function so that we may address them accordingly.
     
    The following websites/urls have been blacklisted due to known security vulnerabilities and/or unethical practices:
    2shared Adb.ug Adf.ly Cashfly Ceestyy.com Coinurl Destyy.com Easyurl.net Festyy.com Gestyy.com Link4ad.com Linkbucks Mugenarchive Sh.st Shortenurl.tk Shorte.st Urlcash as well as any website listed here  
    The following websites/urls, while not blacklisted, are discouraged due to requiring user registration:

    It has recently come to the attention of staff that there are certain twitter handles attempting to impersonate our official twitter account. For future reference, our official twitter handle is @MFFA_OfficiaL (lowercase L). Anyone who manages to come across any accounts claiming to be affiliated with MFFA, please report them to our staff immediately.

    After deliberation amongst the staff, we'd like to announce that @Laharlhas been promoted to Administrator, due to his contributions to the site in bringing stability back after the Collections subforum had fallen into disarray, as well as holding the fort during times of the day when our other Admins were not online. We'd also like to welcome @Darkflareback to his former position as Discord moderator; while we initially demoted him from this position in the past due to questionable behavior at the time, his attitude has improved over time that we decided that reinstating him as Discord moderator was appropriate.

    Hello Mugen Free For All,
     
    We, the staff, felt that it was necessary to give you an update regarding recent events surrounding both our recent rule changes and a number of our collection threads being taken offline.
     
    As many of you are probably aware, we had to demote Ryoucchi from Administrator rank at around December 2020 due to questionable behavior in both the forums and discord, behavior that was not becoming of neither a site administrator nor a public representative of Mugen Free For All. Such behavior included posting of "Not Safe For Work" images outside of designated channels and/or without proper spoiler tags & warnings, unfairly kicking and banning user accounts with little to no provocation, and generally exhibiting an aggressive and spiteful attitude. Many of these abuses of power only came to light months after the fact when other administrators were contacted by affected users or after Discord and forum logs were checked to address unrelated issues and we became aware of the abuses. Despite warnings from other members of staff, this behavior continued.
     
    After being warned by RobotMonkeyHead himself for these abuses of power, Ryoucchi began vandalizing the Discord server in response, deleting roles and deleting emotes. Ryou was demoted to a Global Moderator on the server to prevent him from doing more damage, so he proceeded to make unsanctioned, ruinous changes to the forum software, forcing us to demote him there as well. After this, Ryou left the staff out of his own will.
     
    In part due to the behavior in question continuing even after Ryoucchi had been demoted, and even temporarily banned from our site, and after numerous reports from regular users, some of whome were under the age of 18, staff had deliberated for months regarding updating our rules to prohibit nudity and sexual content entirely, as opposed to leaving in an "artistic nudity" exception. The other part of this was to streamline our forum rules with our Discord server rules, which had previously had a #nsfw channel dedicated to posting said artwork until only earlier this year. While we were on the issue of updating our rules regarding nudity and NSFW content, several other instances had occurred that forced us to reexamine our other rules, including public doxxing and characters containing child pornography. As such, we officially amended our rules on September 25 and made a public announcement regarding them.
     
    In response to this, Ryoucchi felt it necessary to not only remove all of the collection threads he had worked on in retaliation, but also logged into the accounts of other users he had had contact with in the past, including a current global moderator, to remove collection threads that he did not have direct control over. Such behavior is unacceptable and presents a major security risk to our website and its mission of serving as a warehouse for Mugen content. As such, we have decided to permanently ban Ryoucchi from our forums and our Discord server. Ryoucchi does not represent MFFA or its values, and we strongly urge everyone to consider what he had done before criticizing us for our decision. We also urge many of you to not share any account information with anyone, regardless of who they may be.
     
    We are currently in the process of recreating the various collection threads to remove them from Ryou's ownership. Anyone is welcome to help with rebuilding them if they wish, just remember to adhere to the collection creation rules if you do so.
     
    This thread will be left open, so if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask. We will do our best to answer.

We also urge many of you to not share any account information with anyone, regardless of who they may be.
     
    We are currently in the process of recreating the various collection threads to remove them from Ryou's ownership. Anyone is welcome to help with rebuilding them if they wish, just remember to adhere to the collection creation rules if you do so.

    Hello Mugen Free For All,
     
    We, the staff, felt that it was necessary to give you an update regarding recent events surrounding both our recent rule changes and a number of our collection threads being taken offline.
     
    As many of you are probably aware, we had to demote Ryoucchi from Administrator rank at around December 2020 due to questionable behavior in both the forums and discord, behavior that was not becoming of neither a site administrator nor a public representative of Mugen Free For All. Such behavior included posting of "Not Safe For Work" images outside of designated channels and/or without proper spoiler tags & warnings, unfairly kicking and banning user accounts with little to no provocation, and generally exhibiting an aggressive and spiteful attitude. Many of these abuses of power only came to light months after the fact when other administrators were contacted by affected users or after Discord and forum logs were checked to address unrelated issues and we became aware of the abuses. Despite warnings from other members of staff, this behavior continued.
     
    After being warned by RobotMonkeyHead himself for these abuses of power, Ryoucchi began vandalizing the Discord server in response, deleting roles and deleting emotes. Ryou was demoted to a Global Moderator on the server to prevent him from doing more damage, so he proceeded to make unsanctioned, ruinous changes to the forum software, forcing us to demote him there as well. After this, Ryou left the staff out of his own will.
     
    In part due to the behavior in question continuing even after Ryoucchi had been demoted, and even temporarily banned from our site, and after numerous reports from regular users, some of whome were under the age of 18, staff had deliberated for months regarding updating our rules to prohibit nudity and sexual content entirely, as opposed to leaving in an "artistic nudity" exception. The other part of this was to streamline our forum rules with our Discord server rules, which had previously had a #nsfw channel dedicated to posting said artwork until only earlier this year. While we were on the issue of updating our rules regarding nudity and NSFW content, several other instances had occurred that forced us to reexamine our other rules, including public doxxing and characters containing child pornography. As such, we officially amended our rules on September 25 and made a public announcement regarding them.
     
    In response to this, Ryoucchi felt it necessary to not only remove all of the collection threads he had worked on in retaliation, but also logged into the accounts of other users he had had contact with in the past, including a current global moderator, to remove collection threads that he did not have direct control over. Such behavior is unacceptable and presents a major security risk to our website and its mission of serving as a warehouse for Mugen content. As such, we have decided to permanently ban Ryoucchi from our forums and our Discord server. Ryoucchi does not represent MFFA or its values, and we strongly urge everyone to consider what he had done before criticizing us for our decision.

Many of these abuses of power only came to light months after the fact when other administrators were contacted by affected users or after Discord and forum logs were checked to address unrelated issues and we became aware of the abuses. Despite warnings from other members of staff, this behavior continued.
     
    After being warned by RobotMonkeyHead himself for these abuses of power, Ryoucchi began vandalizing the Discord server in response, deleting roles and deleting emotes. Ryou was demoted to a Global Moderator on the server to prevent him from doing more damage, so he proceeded to make unsanctioned, ruinous changes to the forum software, forcing us to demote him there as well. After this, Ryou left the staff out of his own will.
     
    In part due to the behavior in question continuing even after Ryoucchi had been demoted, and even temporarily banned from our site, and after numerous reports from regular users, some of whome were under the age of 18, staff had deliberated for months regarding updating our rules to prohibit nudity and sexual content entirely, as opposed to leaving in an "artistic nudity" exception. The other part of this was to streamline our forum rules with our Discord server rules, which had previously had a #nsfw channel dedicated to posting said artwork until only earlier this year. While we were on the issue of updating our rules regarding nudity and NSFW content, several other instances had occurred that forced us to reexamine our other rules, including public doxxing and characters containing child pornography. As such, we officially amended our rules on September 25 and made a public announcement regarding them.
     
    In response to this, Ryoucchi felt it necessary to not only remove all of the collection threads he had worked on in retaliation, but also logged into the accounts of other users he had had contact with in the past, including a current global moderator, to remove collection threads that he did not have direct control over. Such behavior is unacceptable and presents a major security risk to our website and its mission of serving as a warehouse for Mugen content. As such, we have decided to permanently ban Ryoucchi from our forums and our Discord server. Ryoucchi does not represent MFFA or its values, and we strongly urge everyone to consider what he had done before criticizing us for our decision. We also urge many of you to not share any account information with anyone, regardless of who they may be.
     
    We are currently in the process of recreating the various collection threads to remove them from Ryou's ownership. Anyone is welcome to help with rebuilding them if they wish, just remember to adhere to the collection creation rules if you do so.
     
    This thread will be left open, so if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask. We will do our best to answer.
