I woke up in the morning to an unpleasant surprise. I found four notes in my inbox, all bearing the same title, "Submission rating change". They all read several of my submission were rated incorrectly and so were changed to respect the guidelines. I found over a dozen pictures updated from blue border to red and several other going from white to blue, pretty much resulting in an almost all-adult gallery. Pictures almost a decade old were posthumously evaluated and changed.

I am not challenging the moderator's decisions, if the rating was incorrect and changed, fine by me. But it could have been handled much more tactfully. I have been an impeccable member of this community for over twelve years and receiving several automated messages laden with thinly veiled threats of potential disciplinary actions was unpleasant to say the least. The distinction between blue and red border is a matter of opinion, what is tasteful to me could not be to someone else, it's heavily subjective. Considering this, I shan't use the "mature" classification anymore in the future, should I choose to upload more content to this website. Anything that is not a portrait or anything aimed without the shadow of a doubt to a general audience will get a red border.

I would have greatly appreciated a note from an actual person instead of discovering my gallery "moderated" afterward. I am not unreasonable and I would have happily complied, it's in my best interest to keep the quality of this archive as high as possible. I enjoy browsing it as much as anyone else, although this unsavoury episode will surely affect my future decisions.
