So I've been hearing some rumors recently that DA has been banning people for NSFW art more-so than they used to; accounts vary as to whether the art in question actually violated the site rules. If they really are banning people who didn't break the rules there's no way to be completely sure one won't be affected (particularly if an algorithm is making the decisions, which one person mentioned), but in the hopes that there is some rational decision making involved in these bans, I decided to brush up on the rules and then review my old fan art submissions. I'm glad I did, as the rules have gotten more strict since the last time I checked, and I had forgotten just how much I liked to test the limits of the rules when I was younger. The result: I've deleted a number of my old pictures which I felt could run afoul of the rules, as well as several pictures that were probably fine but I felt like removing just to be safe. (I also removed a few pictures that were meant to tie in with the

I was just looking at one of my own deviations, and noticed that comments were disabled on it. I hadn't intended that to be the case, and was rather puzzled by it at first. It's not the only deviation that way, though, so I can only guess that at some point the default settings for my deviations got switched to that without my knowledge, and I never noticed until now. I have way too many deviations to go through them all to see which ones might be set that way, so I'm just going to say it here: if you should come across a deviation of mine you want to comment on and comments are disabled for it, please contact me about it; chances I didn't intentionally set it that way and will be happy to fix it as soon as I get a chance.

So it just recently occurred to me that I can post videos here. Considering that my super-short nature videos have received no attention whatsoever on Youtube (I guess they're just not the sort of content the algorithm is interested in), but I usually get several people marking my nature photos as favorites, it probably makes more sense to post the videos here. In light of this I've just posted a few videos here, and plan on posting more in the future.
