I just got a note that I was in Submission Violation Policy with my Shatttered Lavender, Silk wound pic. BULLSHIT. I'm including a copy of the note I got from devart

Destinys-Martyr,

Your deviation, listed below, has been removed from deviantART due to a violation of our policies:

The administrator who deleted your deviation added the following:

deviantART does not support real-life self mutilation

Your deviation was removed because it violated one of the following policies:

1. deviantART does not tolerate deviations which are based, in majority, off of racial slurs, are anti-semetic or derogatory in nature towards a particular religion or ethnic group, offensive in nature towards an individual or group of individuals, pornographic or are deemed invaluable to deviantART as decided by the deviantART staff on a case by case basis.

2. deviantART does not tolerate deviations which are submitted in the Tutorials category which do not follow the deviantART Tutorial Submission Guidelines. If you are unfamiliar with the proper procedures for tutorial submissions then please view the deviantART Tutorial Submission Guidelines.

deviantART enforces a zero tolerance policy in regards to violations of our submission policy and therefore will take the actions that we deem necessary on a case by case basis.

Here is my reply

Self mutilation? That's absurd. I'm not mutilating myself! There are many other deviants that have blood art in their galleries, and many MANY others that have photographs of themselves CUTTING themselves and bleeding! All that pic was was a SCAR. A ten day old SCAR. This is unacceptable. I demand to be allowed to repost my deviation and an APOLOGY....NOW

I need your support in this issue. And I'd also like the person who REPORTED ME to name themselves! This is utter hypocrisy! DeviantART is a place to submit art, not be the target of some asshole's malice. I think I know who it is too!!! :pissed:

*****UPDATE***** New comments that should be read

:icondestinys-martyr:
yes, I could have. But surely you can appreciate my position. I was so angry and pissed I couldn't think straight. It didn't occur to me to wait until I calmed down. I'm sure you'd feel the same way if it happened to you. It bothers me people get away with pics of them digging a razor into their wrists, yet I get a pic of a scar banned. Gur....

:iconcatbat:
pretty nonsensical. i'm not sure how they found that offensive. you gave it a mature rating, too, and it wasn't exactly a gaping gash drooling blood all over. as long as you keep all your other lavender images, though... i'd just let it go, fair or not.

i don't need no instructions to know how to rock.
:iconfaramon:
i understand what u mean but i really am not like that i think laterally and logically if some one annoys me i find out which way to trun it to my advantage , hey if we let anger rule us then we make mistakes and are due to get more pissed off, as your note would of made the admin go on the defensive and less likely to be for you or change his mind, BUT ANY WAYS id rather not annoy you with How i think and any wayz past is the past lets see if we can make this admin change his mind ay?
