Policy Violation

Fri Jul 25, 2008, 9:21 PM
It was my first. My policy violation cherry has been popped! Good for me! So my birthday present to Silv was removed because it was “inappropriate”. Which I guess I can see, although I never actually said he was doing what we all know he was doing. And I covered up him doing what we all know he was doing. And I’m ok with that, really. But then I got a message and it said this:

“Upon review a member of staff determined that the characters depicted in a nude or erotic fashion in this deviation are established as being underage. Removed as violation of policy.”

Now I know damned well that the image said that Jack was over 18 in that image. What is wrong with DA that they think just because a character is one age in canon we can’t change the age to suite our purposes? Oh gosh no, a character can’t age! That’s not right at all!

Now I love DA. I’m going to say that right now. I love it. But for God’s sake I am sick of this censorship nonsense. I mean, this is my first removed image so I’m not complaining over that. But I just think it’s ridiculous that we can make an image mature rated, make it so that no one under 18 can see it, and it can still be deleted for being “inappropriate”. That just doesn’t seem right to me. And I know, I know, I joined DA and agreed to the policy and all that jazz but honestly. It’s just annoying.

… I wonder who reported it? So… Sorry Silv. DA stole your birthday present.

Jesus FUCK.

You're kidding, right? THAT'S why the photography porn is allowable? Even if you dress the models up like catholic schoolgirls, it's allowable because they're not visibly young?

SHENANIGANS!

They deleted it because it a) depicted masterbation and b) because they said I didn't try hard enough to make him look 18.

DA's policy on masterbation: Hands should not come into contact with genitalia in a manner which is clearly a display of fondling or masturbation.

DA's policy on underage characters: •• Attempts to portray a fictional underage or child character as an "adult" in order to avoid these restrictions will be subjected to close scrutiny by staff. Such claims will be considered void in any case where the staff deems that significant and telling changes of the original underage character design were not attempted or that such efforts were inadequate.

I agree though, I think it's bull.

You should check out DA's policy... it's pretty strict, I was surprised. [link]
:iconch4cksl4sher:
Huge amounts of bull.
