What is up with ArtFight staff? (my attempt at a semi-comprehensive post)
Allowing minors to view NSFW content, not reading reported accounts, staff’s disconnect with each other, mods roleplaying when the Discord got raided with messages of S/H and the like, lack of communication and favoritism
In the above article, note that an anonymous but reputable source testified that AF staff is understaffed and overworked. You can see, when comparing the current staff (as of June 28th 2023), and last year’s staff, that in between last year and this year alone, SEVEN staff members quit pretty close together. This includes an administrator who has not been replaced.
Re: the above point: ArtFight staff has always been understaffed, but this issue seems to be a lot worse this year (2023). The mods have also said that they are receiving lackluster communication from the admins at this time. This is why early bird signups and even Discord roles have been so late.
As of 2023, there is also only ONE PERSON working on the site BY HERSELF
Potential misuse and lack of transparency with donations

TLDR: the ArtFight staff received a heavy hit in terms of a lot of staff quitting in rapid succession last year, which included someone in a very high-up and important position, who has not been replaced for this year. This has led them to be even more understaffed and overworked than normal for 2023’s ArtFight. This is why early bird signups have yet to be released, 3 days until the fight begins, and why it took multiple days just to get Discord roles out. Moderators are not receiving communication from admins, and there is only one coder working on the site’s development all by herself.
Furthermore, ArtFight has had a lot of issues and incidents in the past; a LOT of which could be explained by disorganization within the staff, such as someone not receiving their $300 donation reward, staff not communicating with each other, not reading reports, and lack of communication.
Basically, ArtFight staff is disorganized, not good with with communication (with each other and non-staff), understaffed, and overworked. They are a small team doing this in their free time for no pay, so bear that in mind, but the cracks are starting to show with 2023’s ArtFight, as there is mod talk of postponing the game before it has even begun, among other things.

he says i hate everyone except you and that is addictive and that is kind of romantic and beautiful because you're young and you're kind of a sarcastic asshole too and you don't like bad boys, per say, but you don't really like good ones either. and you like that you were the exception, it felt like winning.
except life is not a romance book, and he was kind of being honest. he doesn't learn to be nice to your friends. he only tolerates your family. you have to beg him to come with you to birthday parties, he complains the whole time. you want to go on a date but - people are often there, wherever you're going. he's just so angry. about everything, is the thing. in the romance book, doesn't he eventually soften? can't you teach him, through your own sense of whimsy and comfort?
at first - you know introverts often need smaller friend groups, and honestly, you're fine staying at home too. you like the small, tidy life you occupy. you're not going to punish him for his personality type.
except: he really does hate everyone but you. which means he doesn't get along with his therapist. which means he has no one to talk to except for you. which means you take care of him constantly, since he otherwise has no one. which means you sometimes have to apologize for him. which means he keeps you home from seeing your friends because he hates them. you're the single exception.
about a decade from this experience, you'll type into google: how to know if a relationship is codependent.
he wraps an arm around you. i hate everyone except you. these days, you're learning what he's actually confessing is i have very little practice being kind.
