Rediculous

Journal Entry: Tue Apr 22, 2008, 4:42 PM
I've been a member of DA since 2000
I do not understand what's going on here. I have over 200 submissions of photography and art and all the sudden I get this message

"Your deviation, listed below, has been made temporarily unavailable from deviantART due to it containing nudity or a model of questionable age, and therefore we require a Model Release Form:

URL:
Title: Hang in there
Submitted: 2008-04-04 8:49:34 "

and that I have 7 days to submit a release form but than its removed on the same day... But yet other images of the same model are not removed. My posting of the image under my name was removed. The model's posting still remains.

I am so mad right now at DA it's not even funny.

edit:
This is the model they were saying is under age

I assure you she is not.
Here is a pic of her with her drivers liscense. She's 26 years old.


And what makes me the most mad is in one note DA told me I had 7 days to submit releases than in the next removed the DA.

I don't understand either. I do not know why they would remove the deviation.

Don't fret, contact them, let them know your model has verified age with you, and then tell them to piss right off! They obviously have some new prude working for them as a LOT of people have been getting things like:
"we need you to verify your model's age" - Your situation
or
"You have submitted this deviation to the wrong catagory" - Putting a photo in pinup, and they think it should be in fetish portrait.
or
"You have selected the wrong nudity content warning" - A photo of someone showing under cleavage and putting it as a nudity warning instead of strict.

Obviously, someone has let the power of being an admin go straight to their head. This too shall pass, and there are always going to be those people out there that think they have the right to tell someone else they are doing something wrong simply because they find offense in their art.
The weird part for me is this model clearly looks over-age. [link]

She has a very extreme hairstyle, multiple piercings and very large breasts.
Even without all of those things, she doesn't have a particularly baby-ish face or anything... how strange.
They are just covering themselves.

If someone did post underage nudity, DA could be shut down and have to go through much legal wrangling to come back. It could take years!

There is no tolerance for underage stuff anywhere.

M-
Lately DA is going backwards

I have no idea. All i know is that people can be overly stupid at times. I mean if they do it to one picture and not the others with the same model, then i just think the person a moron!

I'm not sure what's currently going on with this website right now.... but I've heard 2 other artists as of today complain about similar problems with DA's policy. We all know the policy and the rules, and we follow it... but suddenly it's like it got out of control and we're being blamed for shit we haven't even done or that was never a problem in the past....
I know a DA member who half their gallery was removed for "art theft or no permission" even though every photo in their are photos of them taken by other photographers and all the photographers were credited. So I'm not sure what the hell is going on...

I Hope it doesn't happen to me and I hope you get it sorted out. :(

P.S. Whoever reported that deviation or whoever had the backwards idea she was underage is an idiot....

she doesn't show any sign of being too young...
her DA profile says she's 25 for gods sake.....

yeah, it sucks when they pull that on people, but i guess they are just trying to cover their own butts on child porn issues.
