So, what's this AUP that I failed to read and adhere to?

Heya there! I figured that since 6 months has past, its about time I post something on here.
So, after an awesome party last night, I woke up, turned my computer on and did my usual morning routines, opened up the web browser and let everything load up.
Then I'm greeted by this lovely message on here:
"This image has been removed becuase it violates the AUP"
"You are not allowed to post pictures of Sex toys."
4 of the photos that I've uploaded and have been up for 5 days were removed this morning because, apparently, they weren't "acceptable" enough.
For those of you who had no idea what I'm talking about, here they are over on my GearFetish page:

I guess I'm both amused, and annoyed.
There are a lack of good, nice, and shall we say... "tasteful" photos of fursuiters in fursuit doing something interesting instead of your now-almost-generic cute poses. Well, I tend to do something about it so I thought I'd share them with everyone else on here. And judging from the amount of fav's and comments, I'm sure everyone loved them.
But apparently, even putting these photos under an "Adult filter" isn't enough. Nope, they aren't "acceptable" to furries here at all (well, one would assume FurAffinity is mainly for and filled with furs).
To quote some of what my friends have said:
"It's silly...compared to some of the highly highly messed up and graphic stuff that gets posted."
"you can have babyfur sex on FA, but not implied fursuit sex"
So, unadultered art porn is ok, but someone in fursuit/costume NOT even showing naughty bits/parts (the sheath on the suit isn't out) isn't...? I suppose because photos are of "real life" stuff, a different policy applies where as, artwork isn't, its "works of art", hence... anything goes?
Tiggy tried to apply some common sense logic there with regards to what's really "horrible and too adult and unacceptable", and failed at the furry fandom and internets. XD
Well, I guess I'll be (re-)uploading the photos once I've "edited out the offending parts" and have to be more careful in the future. So... remember to re-fav and re-comment on them! ;)
P.S. Anyone wants to do some adult-art version of the photos I linked up earlier? Or just some naughty bondagey Tiggy arts? Coz arts are OK but actual real life photos version aren't!
P.P.S. But yeah, would anyone like to fan-art a Tiggy? ^_^ He's welcomed to photo requests and/or suggestions if you need some inspiration!

Not only that. I thought the pictures were cute. XP
And don't you just love how sometimes the minority ruins the fun for the majortiy? But apparently that's how democracy works. Then again, Tiggy's never good with anything political or philisophical, he just likes to pose and show his stripes and playful side ;)
Maybe that's why they were removed. Some furs were jealous of your toys! XD
Actually, me and my mate was just thinking that, what was shown in the original photos weren't even all of the toys we had... there's still a fair bit in the play-box under our bed.
And many thanks for faving the photos, and glad you liked them so much.
I agree, the other photos are more "suggestive" than obscene. The toys are lying around, and you're implying "we're gonna have some fun". No actual use of the toys.
But if you read the AUP, it's pretty clear, photos of sex, implied sex, and sex toys are prohibited. But hey, multi-penis herm spooge is okay in a drawing on FA!
I would support a lobby for a change to the AUP..
I did seek clarification from the Op who originally notified me that my photos have been pulled, and he did make it clear that it was the "toys" being displayed on the shelf was the offending objects. So... hopefully it means the fursuit bondage theme'ed photos would stay.
*shrugs* Well, I'll just have to hide my toys away the next time I'm doing an interesting and naughty photoshoot. And make up for it with more creative poses. :)
Seriously though - it is lame sauce. ... and I should get a GF account finally, I'm only on FetLife. Isn't GF free until you turn 25 or somesuch weirdness?
As far as I know GearFetish is completely free to sign up as long as you're over 18 (well for obvious reasons). I haven't really signed up to any more places since I have a hard time keeping all the sites I go to up-tp-date. I think my LJ for that matter, has been untouched for 6 months now!
It's for many of the same reasons why they don't allow photomorphs.
