Hey there!
Comus here. This note arrived the beginning of December, just came across it today. (I really should keep an eye open for these things.) I'm reprinting it here for the enlightenment of all Guild members (tell your friends, too!)...
FA Admin: Impending Submission Removals
Sent By: AsiaNeko to Photomorphers-Guild On: Dec 3rd, 2015 03:44
It has come to our attention that you have pieces in your Gallery that violate the following policy:
"Acceptable Upload Policy, Section 2.5 - Content that was not made explicitly by you that is used as part of your submission (such as free-to-use lineart, backgrounds, or royalty-free content) must cite its original source and be used with permission from the copyright holder."
While we understand you're posting content to a group account and you aren't the artist, we still need all content cited. This includes the owners of the original photographs as well as citations for any other content used. If any content is used without permission (Even if it was done by the artist, and the artist didn't have permission) it is not permitted.
This is a Warning Notice.
Please bring your gallery into alignment with these policies by December 10, 2015 or else administration will have to remove the submissions in violation and the Warning will be escalated. If you cite all borrowed content you will keep your submissions and just a Warning Notice.
If you need more time or have further questions please don't hesitate to respond to this note.
Thanks for your cooperation,
Asia

The ones I posted ages back there's no way I'd be able to source them, I wasn't the one who made them @_@
