What on earth was over the line with this photo of Katy Shaw's? It might be flirtatious and teasing...but it is in no way more revealing than many major magazine covers.

I know of other instances where pictures of other providers that were uploaded to PhotoBucket have been removed/deleted.
There are many other sites that allow for generous uploading of images that can be used by providers without fear of censorship.
I personally don't see anything offensive about the picture...
The problem could arise from the fact that she is nude...
I am not familiar with photobucket, so I don't know about their standard guidelines... and the guidelines that kk027 posted are a bit too detailed for me to follow!! : )
Honestly... the picture makes me want to meet Katy : ) She looks so friendly and gorgeous! : )
(Think hard Grace, you have met Katy in the not too distant past!)
As to guidelines that phtobucket uses, they can track where the images are being linked from and on that basis, they can take down an image if it is being linked from adult sites (Rule 8.4).
I agree Kate's pictures is very tastefully done - however, we can't fault Photobucket from having these stringent rules.
and let it all be exposed...I never meant for the pic to get this much attention and I am already having some interesting experiences in Boston as it is...all I can say is...I really didnt mean to catch the room on fire...it was an accident...and damn I need vacation...kisses!
Katy's picture is beautiful! Unfortunately they are going through and banning pics as they see fit. I am not sure what the purpose is. However, they do state that they have the right to do this as a few of mine have been removed as well.
