Painful Waxing!!!!!

In the last few days between David Lawrence and myself we had four images removed by the DA Police!

i know image removal is a popular topic so i won't belabor the point too long...just bear with me for just a quick rant! Once again, i find the way in which DA chooses to remove images to be arbitrary, a bit unfair and totally inconsistent. David and i each posted a set of images from our rope and wax (and a few other accessories) session recently; a series that i was actually quite proud of, and out of 8 or 9 nine images, 4 were removed. Some of them were a bit more extreme than others, but no more extreme than so many photographs here on DA! To show you how inconsistent DA is...we posted some of the exact same images, mine in color and his in black and white for the most part, and they removed one of mine but his (the exact same image) is still up! (for now) Go figure!!! Why is it that they take down the images with the most views, comments and favorites every time? To me that says thousands of people are enjoying them while a small select few are not!!! Oh well i guess the powers that be at DA are afraid of a little wax!!! Thanks to all of you who appreciate our art!!!

Ok i am done! Thanks and have wonderful night!

I guess censorship by its nature is inherently arbitrary to a certain extent. I've certainly seen things that I'd consider to be much more explicit or offensive, but sometimes the fact that your images got more exposure means there was more of a chance of someone seeing something and complaining. Did they say what the specific issue/violation was?
The way censorship happens here is that some kid or faint-hearted fellow would stumble upon an image he or she might find offensive and flags it for deletion.

Sometimes I think a member of lesser repute could post the very same image (also with little or no keywords) and pull it off without any trouble just because nobody goes to look at the stuff...

As I was a-walking down Paradise Street,
To me way-aye, blow the man down.
A pretty young damsel I chanced for to meet.
Give me some time to blow the man down!

Judy, its always the same probleme here...and you hit the nail right on the head (they are "afraid of a little wax."..), but never mind ...Keep going!
Obviously they can't have tried it!

So very true! Oh well what can you do? Gotta just suck it up and keep on truckin' !!! :-)
Nope no specifics, but i am sure it was the stategically placed clothepins! Maybe they need to try it before they knock it huh?
