When did it become against policy to post real life photos? Or fursuit photos for that matter?

I'll admit I haven't read the AUP in a month or two, but the subject has been touched on before and it was made clear that IRL photos, fursuit photos, etc were allowed per the AUP a few months ago.

As a photographer, I'd be rather disheartened to find that IRL photo work was disallowed from the site.

Well non artistic photos are recommended to be kept in the scraps section. Inf act a couple years ago I think everyone was asked to limit non artistic photos and SL pics to 4 per a person. But yea some of my friends are a little unhappy about the amount of fursuit pics I've been posting. Fursuit designers are okayed to put a couple pics in the regular section to show there work as they created them. But I jsut wear a suit and didn't create it or anything, and felt that I should be a bit nice to friends and move them to scraps for now.

Ahh, I see what you mean. I was thinking someone tried that "let's kick all the photographers off of FA" thing again.
