#and its primarily benefiting other artists since its an adless donation run site

Worth noting with the current information coming out about Artfight and staff treatment that former moderators have not asked for a strike, boycott, or to cease event participation in support. I fully understand if people do not want to continue with the event due to the issues, but please don't wrongly state that they (Former staff) want people to halt participation.

Although it would be best to cease donations to the site until full clarity is given on the use of funds, along with changes made to staff treatment and workload. I do also want to say that having unpaid volunteer staff is not an issue in itself as long as full clarity is given on that position, and as long as the workload stays reasonable for the limited time and effort a volunteer position should hold. The issue is that artfight volunteer teams were small, overworked and uncompensated for the sheer amount of effort called on them. Larger teams and compensation would both be great, but merely having volunteer moderators is not an issue.
