/facepalm
Good lord people. Regardless of what you think of dA's policies, everybody agrees to them when they sign up. Levelord broke those rules, and then tried to make himself look like some kind of victim - it's his fault.
Levelord's. Banning. Was. Justified.
He can always go to another site.

His ice cream pic wasn't breaking any rules. It was Kim and Shego, fully clothed, and sharing an ice cream cone. It makes sense that Levelord was upset about it getting deleted, and that's why he considered himself a victim. Sometimes DA deletes pics that aren't breaking any rule at all (such as the time they deleted my drawing of Kim pregnant and fully clothed in her normal clothes). It is those unjustified deletions that are upsetting.

I have not been able to see the persons comments. Did he claim to have reported several at one time? I would be curious. When I received the notice of my deletion, the note was huge including a long list of deleted art including some of Levelords. It would be interesting to see what this person had to say. If someone can copy it and send it to me in a PM I would appreciate it. Thank you. The Captain

I haden't seen the ice cream pic but even if it wasn't that bad, but dA probably started monitoring his art posts carefully, considering he got 19 pics deleted at once.

Thank you Drakkenfan,
I really appreciate that. It is apparent that this person reported several pictures. Whether or not mine was one of them I can't tell. I do know that Levelord's pictures were listed almost right above mine in the note I received from the mods. I must say this whole situation has be rather "revealing" in many definitions of the word. I learned my lesson the hard way. I guess I'll sit back and wait for more of mine to disappear for a myriad of reasons.
Thanks again Drakkenfan. The Captain

Why even have a Mature Content option then, hm? It even has the exact option "Sexual Content." Why is it that you can follow their rules and practices to the T and STILL your work gets deleted?

It's their policy that you cannot have characters under 18 (or characters that appear 18) in sexual situations. Doesn't say anything about sexual content in general.

OK, I haven't seen much of levelord's stuff, but when I look around DA for KP pics (just to pass time usually), I see so much nudity and *ahem* 'revealing' things on DA, and stuff that ISN'T is getting banned? Now that's off the mark.
Still, arguing with the mods is not smart. What he SHOULD of done was be respectful to the mods and ask kindly.
If his art is offensive to women, then he should have some decency to either tone it down so it ISN'T offensive, or not post it.
But yes, DA is getting to restrictive on the wrong stuff. Allmost every time you look for KP on DA, you'll see 'secrets' revealed.
But let's not flame DA, what should be done is a reasonable, level-minded approach, because if DA is being lax about stuff, then we need to let the right people know.
And remember, we all agree to rules when we sign up. So look into them first so you arn't suprised.
And if that guy, San-Tropez, is reporting stuff for the heck of it, then DA is NOT checking things first. You never do 'Delete' without looking at it first and tripple-checking the rules.

San-Tropez told me he didn't even know Kim graduated from high school, and thus is 18 or maybe a month from. He doesn't even care. Ridiculous.

You know, it takes guts to admit in front of a huge angered horde of Levelord fans that you're responsable of some of the pics getting deleted. xD Or maybe this San-Tropez person just wants to experience death prematurely, lol.

Or maybe he had nothing to do with it and just wants some attention.

Thing about San-Tropez, the pics she's reporting were never in Levelord's gallery. The "Pin up" art of Kim in a bikini or whatever, and then the other version of that where she has no clothes
Those were done by another artist. I know cause I had seen them before. San-Tropez here is going around saying she saw them in Levelord's gallery and reported them to a mod when there's just no way.
Maybe she confused them for Levelord's art, or maybe she just found them in his favorites. Either way, to put his name with something he didn't do and then take it to the mods is wrong.

Before reporting, you double check or even tripple check your info before reporting. All else fails, just send the mods a link. A mods duty is to ensure there are no misunderstandings when they recive info, thus to avoid this. Now, obviously DA made a mistake based of a sixtinth-wit's info. Natrually, DA should send him a E-mail informing him exactly what they were deleted for, and give him a chance to POLITLY ask why they were deleted. When it comes to dealing with mods, administrators etc, it's best to be respectful, even humble. Why? Because well, first of all, you arn't trying to do things like argue harshly, and second, well, it shows that you just want to understand the why so future mistakes don't happen.

looking at DA today and this thread and all the ppl who are making noise on levelord's banning made me remember another faved artist that i found ages and ages ago.... his name was ethica, big fan of bonnie and his art (not there anymore) was very explicit (like x rated) but dont worry its not there anymore - so dont try lol and yes he has had alot of his stuff removed.... i agree to that it was very explicit - heaps more than levelord ever did .
yes he wasnt banned, but it was close to it.... he moved elsewhere to put up his work now, but even then he's not doin much more these days. he even gave s**t back to da mods like levelord, but i feel that they (the da mods) are making an example of him to others - which is annoying esp being a non-majority group....
.... and some little ba$tard wants to make trouble by reporting just for kicks - omfg id like to get my hands on 'em
and the mature content filter is there for a reason - i believe its your fault if u turn it off and dont like what you see..... i mean come on its common sense!
