Well FA just bombed my submissions for a second time.
7 years ago
The first time it was years after the initial posts had been made. I had used logos for things like Audacity and Soundcloud as visual submissions to promote my stuff. After it being undisturbed for years a random note came in that the system had taken the stuff down due to it not being mine (which I completely understand and am okay with).
This time I expected it to happen. I'd been repetitively posting that "Ask me stuff" image in hopes to get random questions and comments going. It worked for a while. Then of course due to spamming the system removed them.
But it wasn't just because of spamming.
"Under the Acceptable Uploads Policy Section 2.8 - Content lacking artistic merit (such as text only images or empty documents) is prohibited."
This confuses me. I see art posts all the time advertising for this or that YCH, so-and-so's commissions, or what's-their-name's live art streams. Do they ever get removed under this section?
I suppose I should have felt unwanted here years ago when watchers fell silent. Now I don't know what I feel. If anything, I just feel a bit stupid.
If there's a good site for me to go spam my stuff like "Ask me stuff", please let me know. I think if such a place exists I'd like to leave FA and try to reinvent myself there.

And since commission ads are an important part for artists, they are probably tolerated. It doesn't seem to be covered by the AUP, but it probably should be. In former times FA had a commission-section, as I remember.
And YCH ads? They are unique and mostly have artistic merit, IMO - just... more raw^^.
I remember there being sites like https://ask.fm/ , although I've never used them, so I can't tell you anything about them.
AUP wrote:2.3 Stream Notices
Submissions used to inform users that they are streaming are permitted. The rating of the submission must appropriately reflect the rating of the stream's content according to our guidelines (AUP Section 1.1). Stream notifications may be removed and reposted only after 4 hours have elapsed and you are still streaming. Streaming notices must still comply with all other rules in this document.
