Bizarre censorship

Seems we have rubbed somebody up the wrong way.

We live a beautiful bdsm lifestyle. Rope play is a huge part of that. We’ve posted many photos and videos of our personal and intimate moments that have been approved and received many messages of appreciation from people about the beauty of the photo/video posted. Messages from people asking if they can learn from us and saying we inspired them to try something different. We love that!!

Then every now and then a couple of our rope photos get taken down. Photos that have been up for a while that have received hundreds of fabs. Some of them contain no nudity at all and are quite clearly just my partner tied up lovingly and beautifully. She’s not in pain or danger.

Last night I sent a message “to the site owners” asking why this was. Sadly the message was obviously intercepted by the person who keeps taking the photos down….. their response to this? Go through our photos and take a whole bunch more down - like 15 photos and videos that have received thousands of fabs between them. Nothing graphic. Nothing taboo. Every photo/video adhering exactly to the site rules.

I write this in an effort to maybe get to speak to anybody that can offer an insight into why.

These are photos and videos that are true representations of who we are as people. Surely the whole point of posting pics and videos is to show who we are and what we get up to?

We don’t have the same content as most people seem to, but that’s ok right?

If somebody wants to post pictures of 10 guys banging his wife then why shouldn’t they be able to on a sex site where people are showing others who they are?

Wait…. They can!

So why can’t people post photos that they are proud of like a fancy rope tie that took two hours, or a bondage photo with the woman smiling her head off….. this is who we are as people.

I just want to know why we aren’t able to express that freely because of seemingly one or two people who don’t like rope very much.

This message may never get anywhere. It may not help. If anything it will probably get us banned!

Any help to clear up this bizarre issue would be greatly appreciated

Agreed. You can see the care, time and thought that's gone into it all and that's magical.

They breathe sensitivity and beauty in my eyes

Been on the fetish scene prior to this site, so had a look at your photos. I see nothing wrong with what you’re displaying, certainly seen the same things happening at clubs.

Hopefully you won’t get a ban and the mods will give you the answers to your questions.

Thank you… I wish I could post a photo of all the stuff taken down last night. Some of it was really tame but really beautiful (well, in the eyes of most it seems)

I completely agree with you, it all seems rather bizarre and someone obviously had a but of a grudge for whatever strange reason. The pics and vids are non offensive, artistic and rather sexy...

I had seen and fabbed the pics that have been removed already. They are beautiful, and I could see nothing offensive in them.

Unfortunately there’s no definitive list on what we are allowed/not allowed either.

This is not a kink site so pictures that are more related to kink and fetish are not allowed.

It's annoying when some get approved simply to be taken down after days, weeks or even months. I think the site owners need to be clearer with their picture moderators on this but we have to remember that picture moderators are humans and users of this site also. They volunteer to moderate pictures so that we don't have to wait too long for them to be uploaded.

Nothing nasty. The photo can't show anyone who might be being hurt, or who has been hurt. It also can't show anything that is outside the norms. If it's too rude, taboo or unpleasant, or if it puts us off our dinner, it is not welcome here.

Excerpt from the photo rules. I agree it isn't explicit and Seems to have some degree of interpretation as to what puts people off their dinner but I'd suggest that rope play falls 'outside of the norm'.

Its not a fetish site is the only answer really.

We have had a few things rejected that I thought were tame, as well as a few images rejected after being up for a while.

The easy answer really is to avoid anything that looks like it has caused harm, could cause harm (including a spanked bum), watersports and fisting.

Its not worth getting upset over. Even the popular fetish site has restrictions on what images can be “public”.

And this is the problem, it’s ambiguous and open to interpretation by different mods.

It isn't, mods have instructions they stick to. If mistakes are made it is because mods are humans

It isn't bizarre to have pic rules. We just al have to stick to them, if we don't they will be rejected or removed if approved by accident

You say you have had an answer from the site owners, there isn't anything else that can be said
