As violation of the AUP. That means, under this interpretation that ALL photography of people or items or animals are NOT allowed under the AUP.

As much as I'm a gun fan myself, this submission is sadly not AUP compliant.
Stock/unmodified/uncustomized hardware is not in line with the AUP, which bars manufactured or collected items from being showcased.
It's fine to submit photos of customized pieces, because those imply a level of creative and thoughtful effort on the part of the person that owns them. But in that regard the description must detail what the changes are, and link back to the stock item.
Pictures of various assembled firearms do not meet these criteria. They would be acceptable if uploaded to something like Photobucket or Imageshack, and then linked in a journal.
[quote]Manufactured/Collected Items - Photographs of mass manufactured/commercially available items (which you have not personally developed or created) are not permitted. Items of such nature should be uploaded to the appropriate service (such as Photobucket). This policy includes items such as DVDs, games, toys, guns/weapons, cars, computers, plush/inflatable animals or objects, posters, etc.
Exceptions are made for items which are staged in an artistic, dynamic setting. Such images MUST showcase the photographer's artistic skill, not merely showcase collected items. You may post photographs of commissioned items, or custom paint jobs (model kits, figurines, etc) so long as the title and/or description credits the artist/creator. You may also post pictures of items that are modified and customized to the point of being unique, provided significant work is done to separate them from the original design. In addition, users must link back to a photo of the original design to highlight changes.[quote]

That right there states that you may not display any object you have bought or collected in a photograph. If you made the gun yourself, then it would have been allowed to remain up. Photographs are easily allowed....This is pretty basic stuff here...
So... that being said, it was not in violation until after the rules had changed and notification instead of removal would have been sufficient. You are wrong.
You did not state in this journal anything you just mentioned in the last post. Being a rude and stating 'You are wrong.', in that context, was very immature.
How do you expect an accurate statement to be given when you start posting stuff without the details?
You didn't state they were modified. You merely posted the stuff was removed.
Then you have the audacity to come back and tell someone they are wrong because YOU didn't give them the right details to agree with you? Take a second and learn to be a bit more respectful in the future and post ALL the details in a single journal, instead of taking it out on people that were watching you because they perhaps liked what they saw.
*unwatches*
Ok.
Look at the number of watches on my page.
See how big that number is?
Now most of those post journals fairly regularly.
You expect me to catch EVERY.SINGLE.ONE.
Well, sorry for being human. Go learn some manners. This conversation is over because you can do nothing more than be impolite, and place all blame on someone else. The entire comment that sparked your attitude was based on YOUR ORIGINAL COMMENT. Not a new journal.
