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.
