^^^^^^^^
In case you're too busy/lazy/stupid to read that whole thing, here are a few choice quotes that any creators/would-be creators of a "closed species" might want to take to heart:
"Extortion (also called blackmail, shakedown, outwresting, and exaction) is a criminal offence of unlawfully obtaining money, property, or services from a person, entity, or institution, through coercion."
Hm, kinda like telling somebody that they're not allowed to exercise their freedom of expression by drawing something unless they pay money!
"In extortion, the victim is threatened to hand over goods, or else damage to their reputation or other harm or violence against them may occur."
I don't know about you, but I'm pretty sure rounding up all your friends to harass somebody and write 23437928347 journals about how they are a troll and an art thief and a psychopath counts as damaging somebody's reputation.
"The actual obtainment of money or property is not required to commit the offense."
Just in case any of you were beginning to say, "BUT BEALLUS, IT'S NOT LIKE I NECESSARILY GET ANY MONEY FROM BOTHERING THE SHIT OUT OF INNOCENT PEOPLE!"
"Neither extortion nor blackmail require a threat of a criminal act, such as violence, merely a threat used to elicit actions, money, or property from the object of the extortion."
Yes. I'm well aware that it isn't illegal to call somebody a big mean troll poopieface, and that the administrators of a website are technically entitled to ban whoever they damn well please. Too bad none of that actually makes a difference. : )
TL;DR You are all disgusting greedy hypocrites who like to preach about manners and morality while simultaneously committing what essentially constitutes a serious federal offense.

Aren't serious federal offenses against the furaffinity TOS? You'd think they would be.

OP
For FA's sake, I hope they are.
