No, it is not porn.

Just a few weeks after saying in my journal that dA is not yet perfect, some of my art gets deleted as porn. I do have a theory of why someone will take a lot of time to watch all my drawings to delete just three of them, but it is not relevant now.

Rules
More rules or the "whatever we want to will be porn addendum"

But if there are rules for porn, and those rules are specific ¿Why am I complaining about it?

• First of all common Sense. I've posted 284 drawings and paintings up to the date. Most of them using the "Strict Mature Content" filter. That is a lot of time spent on drawing just to post three porn images. Rules are rules, but enforcers should be able to know when someone is posting pornography.
  
• Second. It seems that porn means genitalia or intercourse. The rules have nothig  to do with porn per se. There are a few possible explanations for these rules:
  
  1. The author of the rules has a bizarre phobia and is obsessed with genitalia,  fluids (even simulated ones) and sexual intercourse.
  2. The rules include a lot of things that are not porn, but they are  intentionally ambiguous so the staff can delete whatever they want using porn as an excuse. The second faq makes me think this might be the right one but i don't discard explanation 1) because it is just fun to think of it.
  3. The author knows that the rules make no sense whatsoever, but he uses them as a way to keep people that complains happy. People that complain about porn in the name of morality usually have a dirty mind and can be very  persistent.
  
  Porn definition: (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pornogra…). So please, pretty please, change those rules to something that makes sense.
• Third. I understand that sending anonymous notes to the artists and not having to read a reply from them saves time, but admins are either volunteers or paid professionals. Using strict rules not open to interpretation makes any objection impossible, and is unfair with a lot of artwork that people put in dA for free.
  
  In fact, deleting other people's artwork should be exceptional and not the rule. People are what make this site what it is. Getting them upset is not, and will never be, a good policy.
  
• Fourth. Those drawings were not porn, even by the rules. I'll be more specific:
  
  1. Giant shemale: Perspective, not erection.
  2. Window shemale: Size, not erection.
  3. Ladyboy playing at bed: Grabbing, not "in a manner which is clearly a display of fondling or masturbation". No movement lines, fluids or gestures, just looking to the artist.
• Fifth. A lot of good artwork that wasn't porn either, has been deleted from the site. Some artists complain, many don't ¿Why is it that way?
    
  1. Some think that it doesn't matter what they say (They are probably right).
    
  2. Precedents like miss dynamite make them think that they can be punished  with a ban if they complain. If they are right then there is a serious problem.

I understand that rules are necessary, even if we find some of them silly. The site owners have their right to decide whatever  rules they want.

That being said, consider this a complaint. What should be an exceptional measure has been taken with my work and other people's too. The rules have been  poorly written and interpreted without giving the artwork a second look and ignoring the context.

I think this site is not yet perfect, far from it, but i don't care that much about little bugs, glitches and the mediocre design and layout (Even Facebook and Google Plus are not perfect!). On the other hand, i believe that bad policies and administration are a serious problem.
