So you can be reported for not having sexy enough art.
8 years ago
As the title says I just got reported for posting something in ADULT that wasn't sexy enough which was apparently a violation.
Has this happened to anyone else ?
I can understand the other way being an issue (putting adult art in general) but I have always tried to follow the rules when it comes to art so the way I have been treated is highly disappointing and discouraging.
The picture in question is : http://www.furaffinity.net/view/25782375/
I put it in adult as it has focus on the breasts/nipples and the picture is presented in a sexual way.
I saw it as classified as adult , and classed it as so.
"Nudity - Contains nudity involving adult themes or sexual situations."
She is nude, she has a lustful look and has shiny pierced nipples. I drew this with adult themes in mind. How is this not adult ?
For clarification:
I submitted a picture in "Adult"
It was deemed not nsfw enough and instead moved to "mature"
I was given a warning and told I violated the rules for it being in "adult" and not being raunchy enough.
I'm not saying that the art has to be in adult but the fact that being penalised for having it moved down from adult to mature seems like oversight.
I get anxious enough when it comes to posting my art and this has just tripled it , I don't want to upload anything now as I'm afraid it wont be deemed sexual enough and I'll get in trouble for it.
This whole scenario has really upset me and I don't know what to do.
If anyone has any words of advice please share .
I am upset that people are being penalised for their art being moved from adult to mature, this should not happen. Especially when the defining line between the two groups is so thin.

The fact that they enforce it like that is ridiculous though. You have to be 18 to view either mature or adult content. No one is getting hurt by mixing the two up.
Mature is for... stuff you could display in a museum? Like those nude paintings and statues.
I *guess* because of no exposed genitals then it's mature, but I don't think the classification of adult warrants a warning. At worst, just quietly move it to mature and leave it be.
Im fine with them moving it if they feel it suits more in adult/mature because they are so closely linked but being warned over it is just unnecessary and low.
I really doubt how sexy a picture is has anything to do with it, the fact they'd force the move from adult to mature is still silly but yeah, there you go.
I wouldnt be angry about it being moved from one category to the next if artists were not being punished for having their art moved from one nsfw category to the next.
Putting the wrong stuff in general deserves a warning but since both mature and adult are sectioned off together the punishment here is unneeded and unnecessary, and i feel its a side effect of non artist admins just reading between the lines and not really taking into account the artist/human aspect.
I wasnt agreeing with why they did it but moreso that was my best guess for why they did it, but its still ridiculous since mature/adult should be interchangeable as is.
This doesn't warrant a warning.
What next, banning for jokes in the tags?
That makes no sense to me.
While yes, the image fits mature rating better than adult, it shouldn't hurt anything that it was marked as adult.
I've been told by everyone if I was unsure of a mature rating to bump it up to adult to be safe.
Like I don't use mature much out of fear people will report it for being to NSFW and now its in the oposite way too ?
Like its a lose lose for artists here.
Also iv seen some really bad art by alot of jokers
There is a ticket category "Question about Site Policy" - if something you want to upload feels borderline rating-wise, open a ticket in that category and ask. That's one of the things it's for.
2. I'm not concerned with anything you have to say really because again, I was only here to console a friend. Please find one of the many others on this journal to bother.
3. Please stop speaking to me, thank you.
When I tried to ask about what happened/dispute the warning , I had to talk to an admin who showed no care or consideration to how an artist might feel in this situation and simply echo'd what the automated message said; " the content did violate the policies the warning notice was issued appropriately." I felt like I was given no help and gave me no faith in interactions with that staff member.
I'm not just angry for how I've been treated I'm angry for all the other artists who are also being treated like this or even banned for something that shouldn't be a punishment in the first place.
But you have to remember little issues aside your fan base loves to follow your work and people love to buy it so don't let it stop you from creating the content people come here for. Take it with a spoon of sugar, if you feel it's needed send a complaint in about your experience with that admin and keep trucking on.
