My New Combichrist Photo - Policy Violation

"Your deviation COMBICHRIST was reported for Mature Tag Needed. The report was reviewed by a member of the Staff and action was taken, marking the report as Resolved. Additionally, the following comment was provided: Immediate action taken."

------------------------------------

Can someone explain to me why this image required a mature tag?

Too spooky?  

No one at DA seems to be able to explain it...

My Dir En Grey image was also deleted as a copyright violation though I have contacted support and informed them that I shot the image myself and own it. I've requested three times it be reinstated or they explain why it was deleted but I've gotten no reply.

Lame.

omg lame.
never ceases to amaze me, that this is DEVIANT-art.
Perhaps this site chose the wrong name when it opened, and forgot to change it to something like 'fluffycloud-art' or something like that.

Umm...I don't think there is any significant of Adult Maturity in that image. Unless if "kids" get nightmares from that image. Whatever. I love that image and it rocks!

Lithium, I shouldn't worry about the 'mature content' tag. Everyone who wants to see it can see it. It doesn't offend me in any way, indeed I have a morbid curiousity about it. However, I can see it upsetting some children (admittedly it's borderline), and there we have to take responsibility for our actions and show consideration and courtesy. It's what make some of us human.

By the way, I've seen a lot of black metal/goth/grindcore band photos and the one of Combichrist is the best I've seen.

Regarding the copyright pic, I'd just upload it again and see what happens.

As to many of the other comments here, all I can say is so what if it's tagged, get over it. If it had been banned then maybe there would be case for shouting about it but it hasn't and won't be. The tag is there so that people who voluntarily don't want to see (presumably) scary pics (lets face it, it is weirdy scary, which is the appeal of the image) can choose not to see them by clicking the relevant button. Let's remember that there are all types of people on here of all ages submitting and viewing photos and art. This site isn't just for you lot.

I strongly suspect that it could scare a few children who accidentally come across it - yup!, there are children here showing the world what they can do with their cameras and drawing pens, be it photos of their pet hamster or drawings of their house and family.

So come on, show a bit of thought; deal with it and move on.

PS. Judging by the amount of foul language in the comments here, perhaps they should be tagged as well. But then DA does have its contradictions!

DA is stupid as hell about answering.
probably because they never look into issues they just instantly take action.

i'd be too ashamed to write back if i was them too.

I've seen pictures on DA with a "mature content" label because the woman in the picture has CLEAVAGE. *head smacks on desk* A lot of those pictures, the cleavage wasn't even the focus or intent of the picture. I fucking hate how D.A. tries to be my parent. If people are disturbed by your Combichrist picture, which I think is mildly creepy, then they should not be on the internet....especially art websites.
