IMPORTANT note on linkspam PLEASE READ:

As you can probably tell from the past posts, the discussion seems to have died down; most of what's linked is signalboost and/or about FWD/Forward, not the Feministingfail which was the original reason for the linkspam. We were hoping that that part of the discussion would revive some after the chat with Miriam and Courtney (see the last post), but so far it doesn't seem to be so.

Although we will continue to check to see whether things liven up for the next days, if they don't this will be the last linkspam post.

Thank you to everyone who's dropped links in comments, posted, or even simply followed the linkspam, thank you very much to the crew of FWD and - of course - thank you so so much to sasha_feather and were_duck, you are the best linkspam collaborators ever.

Thank YOU!

Also, if anyone writes or stumbles across any post about disability and fandom, feel free to link it to the community! access_fandom has open posting, and encourages participation from every one of our members if you feel so inclined!

Thank you for the linkspam!

Thank you. And since I have been banned from FWD for reasons that have not been explained to me (they also will not answer my emails)--could someone ask them why?

Transparency, huh? Yeah, they climb Feministing's ass, but its fine to treat ME like a piece of shit. Feministing sure never did!

Still waiting for the reason I was banned. I have never been banned from a feminist board before.

For the record, and to clarify, Daisy has not and never has been banned from FWD! Her name/IP are not on our blacklist, and her IP is not banned from our servers. I just want to make sure that's clear to everyone reading here because that's a very serious, and false, accusation.

I believe she may think that she was banned because she posted a comment and it didn't go through immediately; that's because we have comments on full moderation, so no comment goes through immediately. Sometimes it takes our mods a few hours to get through the comment queue, because it is large. So, there was a time delay, but that doesn't equal a ban.

We have also had a section explaining this in our About page from the beginning.
