Improper Rule Enforcement
13 years ago
Maybe I'll be getting in trouble for this, but honestly, I don't care, I feel this issue needs to be addressed on the sight. Apparently, there is a rule which prevents screen shots or captions from video games being posted up. Apparently it doesn't classify as "original art" or whatever. I've had this trouble before when I tried posting character sheets from the Furry Doll Maker and it was deleted within the same day, in practically the same hour it was posted, saying it was against the rules. I type in Furry Doll Maker on our site's search engine, and pull up a whole two pages of the other members who have pulled the same thing and have been ignored.
My DC Universe character sheet for my character Slave Catcher was shot down mere minutes after I posted it up, because game screen shots weren't allowed, yet I have gone to the search engine and found several instances of video game screen shots from Champions Online, DC universe, Oblivion, and so on. When I asked the mod who deleted my picture, and provided him with links to these instances, he replied with, and I quote
"Because we weren't aware of them until now? Your submission had the 'misfortune' of being on the front page when I was looking at the front page."
And yet now several days after I informed him of this, these pictures are still up after I was informed "You caught me when I was going to bed". Which leaves me to ask, do the rules only apply when they are conveniently on the front page because the mods are too lazy to do their damn jobs, or do they simply zero out individual members while ignoring others because they may be friends with them, or enjoy other kinds of their work? Playing favorites does not seem like a very wise idea for keeping members happy with your site's performance. And if your employees are too lazy to do an adequate job, you should probably be looking for new people to hire.
Twice now, I have experienced this hypocrisy, and I want to know what the hell explanation you have for this.

Amusingly enough, I have this same issue on DeviantART with Custom-Made Pokemon Trainer sprites and trainer cards. And yet when I do a search, I see THOUSANDS of them on dA. You at least got a response, though. They blew me off and threatened to ban me there, if I continued to post my trainer sprites.

OP
Ah, I thought nobody read this journal, was afraid it had gone completely ignored. The pictures are still up, it seems, and I never heard back from the mods, so apparently in addition to being too damn lazy to do their jobs, they are too damn lazy to justify their laziness.
