This thread is meant to be a constructive and well-thought reply to the Admin decision and to create drama-free enviroment to discuss why it was disallowed - in universe in which genesplicing, genetic manipulation and overall human DNA tests are canon by lore - were denied, especially to the player with characters that were on Discovery for over 7 years. Posting flood with faction accounts, especially when one of them belongs to official faction, should not take place.
Thank you.
My previous questions still stand, care to answer them properly for once?

The majority of people don't want to argue your "scientific evidence" and those that wish to, may do so over third-party-programs. Furries aren't to be in DiscoveryFL. There's no need to discuss this under the disguise of "an argument based on the -facts- shown". Otherwise there're plenty of forums out there where your topic will get you the answers you desire to hear/read.
I feel sad for all those people who try to derail the actual serious subject in here, which was meant to be taken seriously with all the data shown in the OP. ...

Since, you told me not to PM you, even if my intentions are as always, the best possible you will ever find in any member of this community, I will take my chance just to note you about one thing.
Remember when I RP-ed with your character? Remember how it was nice, the RP? I will just never understand, why you decided to ignore me after I told you to move on from this, and also, you went to tell people how you won't RP with my group, Commune because of me. I don't understand.
I also told you that, funny comments like these above, will be always expected on this topic. Just move on, and if you really want to continue with ignoring me, sure.
My point- I do think that you are awesome writer, and that you can concentrate on something that is withnin Discovery imagination, really.

Your problem resides in this very sentence.
In a democracy everyone gets to vote for what they want and they have to deal with what they're given after that as they hold no more weight than anyone else in deciding who leads the country. Even if you voted for the "right person" and someone voted for the "wrong person" and the wrong person won the elections, you don't get to change any of it. Whether you're right or wrong is irrelevant, and no matter how you argue against it, you can't and shouldn't change anything.
In the case of a certain group getting to choose for everyone else, if you don't belong to or control that group, you're 100% irrelevant when it comes to decissions as well.
In both cases you're as irrelevant as everyone else and you don't get to choose. The majority of people actively don't want furries, and thus you don't have them in your side. You don't control or are part of the admin team, thus you don't get to decide.
You're obviously free to discuss about it- For as long as you're allowed to. You don't get to choose what's a good reply to this thread and what isn't, which is exactly what you're trying to do in the above sentence and shows perfectly why you keep headbutting on the same subject to no avail.
This isn't meant to be a "rude" post, just a heads up.

Just had a train of thought: public nudity is generally prohibited as being considered unethical, let's say I write an essay or dissertation about certain places - like nudist beaches - allowing nudity or how some cultures have different views on it, how some communities don't consider nudity as a taboo, that still won't give me a free ticket to run around in a church wiggling my weewee into people's faces. There are places where it's allowed and accepted, there are places where it isn't. Act according to the environment/community you are in.

Please do not derail the thread which is not meant to discuss the user. If you have private stuff with the user - please do it via PMs or create another thread.
This is neither flood nor bash-the-user stuff. Do that stuff somewhere, not here.
Edit: This thing is rather in defence of @SMI-Great.Fox and his roleplay, because he is the actual person who lost 7 years of hard work.

RE: Re: Furries - Vendetta - 01-31-2017
There should honestly be a comprehensive breakdown as to why the fandom does not fit in the lore of Discovery Freelancer, so I'm going to roughly summarize it as it's not even 8 AM when I started writing this.
The idea of animal-anthropomorphic beings/furry fandom in a society based on an alternate timeline, over a nine hundred years in the future in a different part of the sector is silly. When you examine the extended intro of the vanilla game, as well as the lore listed in the vanilla + extended lore added by Discovery, there is surprisingly little mentioned about agriculture relating to animals. In fact, the only real mention of Sol-Based life beyond humans is fish, which were put in to the oceans of various worlds in order to sustain an edible food source. Looking at the extended intro, Sol was utterly decimated by the Nomads, quite literally wiping out planet Earth. One might argue: "Oh, but it's the future, surely they had colonies on Mars."
They did.
But they weren't terraformed.
A particular scene of the intro shows marines in space, battling it out on the red planet with zero gravity or life of any kind surrounding them. The planet was still a desolate, lifeless rock. The idea that animals in any sense would've left Earth outside of being processed for consumption is up for debate, especially when considering that it was a time of war, and food rations were a must for both sides. You then get to the final scene, where the five sleeper ships take off from one of Jupiter's moons, full of people - especially the Hispania. In fact, the Hispania was overpopulated in the lore. It never successfully survived the journey beyond the founding of the Maltese and Cretan nations.
Second hole - The People of The Alliance were fleeing for their very lives. Their existence depended on them escaping with what they had loaded on to the ships - people. I seriously doubt that they'd have gone out of their way to make the Sleeper Ships in to giant Noah's Arc-style vessels, when their goal was to survive the onslaught of the Coalition. Not to mention - They're on an atmosphereless moon. As I mentioned before, there was no terraforming done on Mars. There wouldn't have been any on this moon, either. It wouldn't have been able to sustain human life outside of the sealed and shielded bases that were built, let alone animal life. The absolute very least of their concerns was if their pets were going to survive, as proven by mankind's instinctual ability to sacrifice things they love in order to preserve life. For example - If a predatory bear approached you and your dog with the intent of killing you, you would 100% of the time send the dog at the bear and run, because every single instance of fighting a bear in history has gone exactly how you'd think it would go.
Naturally though, Humanity would factor in and did factor in the possibility of there being no sustainable food source at their destination. The lack of terraforming made them have to pick and choose which worlds they needed to colonize. Earth-like worlds that can sustain life. The most common and easy to carry source of food is seeds for farming. Fish eggs could be preserved for the entirety of the journey, as we can all assume the trip from Sol to Sirius was not instantaneous, otherwise the point of cryogenic sleep would've been a redundancy, and if the Coalition cared enough to wipe out the alliance - factoring in the existence of instant-jump technology - they'd have probably gone after those ships. So, they reach Sirius and begin anew, seeding the water with fish in the hopes they'll be able to survive, beginning to farm and investigate the never-specified new life on the various worlds. Society would begin to grow around survival. For the longest time there would be little to no media, fiction or entertainment of any kind that would reference animals.
I could go way more in to detail about how unimportant it would be for the people of this day and age to want to involve themselves with animals, let alone waste time and effort in developing hybrids from long-dead species. The fandom its self wouldn't have been imagined or exist in society this day in 824 A.S.

I don't care about the entire Furry fandome itself (until they get on my nerves, then I go full Deathwing), but the point is, the others don't want that. This community isn't the most kindest that you might find across the internet, but hey, it's not the worst. Just try to adjust to it if you want to play with us or don't. The rule of the mass plays here, bud. I'm sorry for you, really. In all ways, it's not that hard to roleplay a furry as a human. Just remove the parts with furr, besty ears and claws - and here have it. Some people get really wild when they become the hermits. Why don't rolepley one?
RE: Re: Furries - Divine - 01-31-2017
Okay Toris, you want some word on your "scientific evidence" - there's by no means a possibility to merge human and dog DNA into a self-sustaining life. That's how nature made different species. No science is going to change that.
