I've reread the "state of the union" address that was made a week or so ago, and it didn't include anything about pictures and providers ads. However, I did see the new feature "report this post". Some people have been abusing this privilege and have been spamming this button for minute (i.e. size, not time) reasons.

If you need feedback and clarifications as to why your post was removed, it is better to contact admins to address this specific problem. I also had some threads that were removed for minuscule reasons. I have reflected on it, and did diagnose my error within those specific post. It was a small error that I made, and someone reported it.

When you mentioned that "how come my post on picture thread got removed", can you give us an example of the incident. For example, I tried to post my pictures on the theme ad for Sexy Monday on the Washington DC discussion board but it got removed. I can probably give you better feedback if I had a clearer understanding of the issue. I hope you are able to find the answer to your OP.

As long as your photo post was not with a link to your site or ad and no way implied it as an ad it is ok.

I seriously doubt it's from someone reporting your post.

Read the guidelines for photo post. If you feel you complied 100% then ask admin or support.

It's not likely they will answer you here like when there was an active mod. This is one of those things affected by their letting go of moderators. It takes 24hrs or linger to get replies from support, it's likely to take as long or longer to get replies.

I don't think they are well enough staffed to manage the discussion board, I really don't think they care about them anymore.
