[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 392094, member: 9240"] Quickest way to get your profile shut down. The second quickest is to post "offensive" material, the definition of which seems to be open to the viewer. For example, a local NJ photographer has an incredible catalog of biker photos from the 70's and early 80's. While she has gone out of her way to pixelate the occasional exposed body part, she has been shut down numerous times for showing things like swastikas painted on motorcycle gas tanks. Now, my father is a Concentration Camp survivor, and I understand the seriousness of the symbol, but to be offended by its appearance in a photograph that does not directly promote the ideology is a bit over the top. But what isn't these days. BTW, Instagram is almost as strict with their locking down of accounts for what gets reported as offensive. In both cases you have to argue (mostly in vane) about why what you posted [I]isn't[/I] offensive, but you're best bet it so avoid the hassle. Post what's generally acceptable and provide links in your profile to a full portfolio site elsewhere. [/QUOTE]
