It shouldn't have been. The reason of why it was banned, rule 8, does not apply to posts. Only valid reason could be that it was a repost, which wasn't clarified on the note. It was only labeled as "rule 8"
It's rule 8 section 2 "Moderators are expected to generally only delete content that breaks rules. However, Moderators and administrators reserve the right to delete content even if it is not explicitly against any rules for reasons that are deemed as acceptable by the rest of the moderation staff or an administrator (such as rules-skirting edits that are inflammatory, reprehensible, antisocial to the community, or simply not interesting to be uploaded). In these cases, moderators should notify the rest of the team before a deletion is made." We in the mod staff agreed that this (and a lot of other wappah art) goes under "simply not interesting to be uploaded".

Don't you think a votes page would be a good idea? Just saying
Erm ok I, I wasn't expecting so much stuff from that I'll be honest
No offence intended, the mods and admins need to sort their stuff out ok. It's a platform after all it's meant to appeal to its users! Don't be like the left and ban anyone who has a "nasty" opinion. You're supposed to be better than that! So why don't you prove it?
Actions speak louder than words in the end so prove to people you're better than the other side. That's all I have to say

We haven’t banned anyone just for disagreeing with mods, as far as I know. There’s just some stuff we don’t want to host on this website for a variety of reasons. You’re free to disagree, but at the end of the day it’s a privately funded website.

If this is a rule, it should be revoked.
Moderators are expected to delete content that isn't Bleached related, anything that doesn't stands up to Quality Control, or breaks the rules.
For this specific rule, interest seems to depend on the moderation team, and not on the community's own interest. If a moderator is going to delete anything that he/she sees as uninteresting, then they might as well be deleting a lot of content, and a lot more if they go nitpicking over anything that they as well could deem uninteresting, common interest (and I'd like to think I'm not the only one who's thinking this)should be left to the community.
There are pages and pages of content that go on with content like this, there has been content, there is still such content, and there will always be content that the moderators could see as irrelevant or as you call it (simply not interesting to be uploaded). But the important part is that the community might not even think the same thing as the moderators.
The score system, which was implemented with the sake of having the community give their own opinion is the main tool of reference for the moderators to see what content do the community likes the most, and what they don't like so much. This should be helping moderation staff orientate themselves over interest, community score, if not, then why do we have a score system? And why are we upvoting stuff if moderators and admins are going to only listen to what they think?

Kind of sounds like the current moderators/ownership have an agenda that having a handful of byzantine rules allow them to enforce without ever having to openly admit to what it is.

To me it's mismanagement. When you have fans, members, a community whatever you wanna call it they come first! Screw whatever you think, it's what they think that matters. If they start acting like little dictators then people will leave and that's the last thing I'd want as I like this site lots of nice people here, especially women 😏
So I hope they get their act together and stop punishing people for no good reason
