Within the past 24 hours, there have been posts on /r/furry claiming that two attendees of the upcoming Eurofurence convention in Berlin plan to intentionally spread HIV through unprotected sex. A chart tracking their potential sexual network labeled with names was provided with this. These claims were presented with no real evidence, and at least one person mentioned within the chart stated that the asserted associations related to them were false. We were conflicted in how we should deal what could be a very serious situation, but have resolved that removing these posts and releasing this statement ourselves would be the best course of action. We have these things to say:

1. First of all, whether you're going to a convention or not, be safe. Be smart and use protection. Know the facts on HIV and other STDs/STIs, and do not assume that a stranger will tell the truth about their sexual past or condition. Also know that there are many laws worldwide criminalizing the transmission of HIV, whether it be intentional or otherwise (it is illegal in Germany).

2. Sharing anyone's personal information (including actual names) is expressly prohibited by Reddit's administration and will result in account deletion.

3. While topics like this are undeniably important, we also take slander very seriously. We are discussing the addition of a rule against potentially slanderous content (it will likely be added to rule six), which would make incidences like this much more cut-and-dry in the future.

Our decision to remove these posts is in no way whatsoever meant to obscure, endorse or deny the seriousness sexual irresponsibility, or to imply that this topic is not "nice enough" to be shared here. These posts were removed for these two reasons only: one, because they violated Reddit's rules on disclosing personal information, and two, were proven to be at least partially slanderous. We are very sorry to anyone who was wrongfully accused by these posts and hope that the truth, whatever it may be, does come to light. Until then, posts sharing or reiterating the content in question will be subject to removal without warning.

Thank you for understanding. Stay fuzzy and stay safe everyone!

So I'm a starving artist and I was thinking about doing commissions to help me out a little bit. Buying regular art seems boring to me, so I thought I would do something more interesting to step up my game. I know how to make cute little plastic charms that can be used in all sorts of things such as charm bracelets, earrings, phone charms, keychains, ect. They could be designed with anything on them, your fursona, letters, or words, anything that I can draw. Options are endless since I can draw a lot of shit. They are like these, to give you an idea: http://pre01.deviantart.net/1919/th/pre/i/2013/096/d/2/ghibli_plastic_charm_keychains_by_pikaira-d60om9l.jpg

I was thinking that they would start at ~7-10 USD a pop for the little ones, and go up from there, depending how expensive the stuff that they are being attached to, such as metal chains and keyrings. Before I go out and buy a bunch of materials though, I want to know if this is a stupid idea or not, or if anyone would even want to buy any.

Thank you for the feedback!

I mean, we have everything from Fox plumbing, to Cookiekrisp, to trix rabbit and Tony the tiger; all male.

Can you guys think of any normal brands with female (anthro) mascots?
