[Common][System] Fixed bug where characters were vulnerable to grabs during pre-jump frames. [Common][System] Fixed graphical bug involving dash effects during superpauses.

At the risk of potential drama stirring up as a result of this thread, I'm going to have to close it. It's bad enough when people make the occasional shit-on-Mugen-Archive thread from time to time, we don't need any more bad blood with other communities as well.

Alright, I'm sure many of you are familiar with Archive in recent years and this is something that I have brought up in private with the rest of the staff, but I would like some public feedback regarding a possible change in our policy regarding MFFA links. This thread isn't meant to guarantee a certain outcome, but we feel some public feedback may help influence our final decision.
 
For those of you who are unaware, back in June of 2016, we made the decision to blacklist any and all download links from Mugen Archive in light of their decision to use Adfly as their primary source of revenue. You can read about our reasoning for this decision here.
 
In recent months, however, it would seem that Mugen Archive has turned to another source of ad revenue and have discontinued their use of Adfly/Shortest, thus, no longer posing the security threat that we originally blacklisted them for. Because the sole basis of our decision no longer applies, I feel that it's appropriate to finally lift this ban that has been in effect for the past two years.
 
Others that I have spoken to did have some concerns that could potentially be used against this decision. Notably, the biggest concern deals with Archive's "Community Weekend" events, which temporarily throttle and/or disable downloads for non-registered users, making them unreliable hosting. While this is true, the same could easily be said of other sites like sendspace, which are not currently blacklisted. Unlike sites such as 4shared, which require registration, the same does not apply to Archive, despite the aforementioned limitations. While this may not affect release threads too much, this could be a concern for those hoping to use archive links in collection threads.
 
I just want to reiterate that the conduct of certain MA members, unless they are actively compromising the security of MFFA or its members, shouldn't play a factor in this decision; this deals primarily with the linking to hosted downloads, if a member of MA is caught breaking the rules of MFFA's forums or discord chat, they will be handled with as we would any other user, independently of any other Mugen community they may be associated with.
 
That being said, I would like to know what everyone's thoughts on this idea are.
 

There are ways of criticizing people's work and addressing the issues present, but making comments like these is not the way to go about it.

Thread has been restored.

Nice try, Weegee, but we know it's you. IP history doesn't lie.

Had to remove the poll & change the thread title as they could have easily been construed as inflammatory. We don't mind discussion on Mugen Archive, as long as its kept civil.

There's nothing wrong with honesty and hearing conflicting opinions, but there is something wrong with being disruptive.

First release.

Someone brought up the phone verification thing in another discord a few days ago, so I'll sum up what I said then.
 
Dizzy's claim that their discord server is lively is, frankly, bullshit. Unless the MA staff is actively deleting 90%+ messages on a daily basis, the activity that I've witnessed there is very minimal, if not 0, with only a few messages every other day or so. While I can't speak about implementing phone verification on their forums & site as a whole since this is news to me, I can speak from experience that phone verification, at least on Discord, does almost nothing to stop spam attacks. In the aftermath of the DDoS we received in early April, we elevated the security to require phone verification and, while this stopped spam accounts from posting messages in our discord, it did nothing to stop them from saying what they wanted to say by making their user name the message, many of which were targeting the same individual. In the meantime, several legitimate accounts were negatively affected by this and unable to access our discord server either because they were unable or unwilling to disclose a cell phone number for verification purposes, some going far as citing privacy concerns (and rightfully so); this led to us creating a workaround by granting known users a dummy "approved" role so they wouldn't be affected by this change, which we eventually rescinded because of the undue burden it was putting on legitimate users while doing nothing to stop the influx of spam accounts, and I have no doubt in my mind that something similar could happen to MA if they do decide to go through with this.
 
Of course, if Dizzy is adamant on implementing this feature, he is either unable or (most likely) unwilling to take these negative repercussions into account.
 
EDIT; Seeing as this thread seems to be going in the direction of a general MA discussion thread, I'll be allowing the posting of MA links here for the purposes of providing context.

Why was this made in a separate thread? Merging.
