Dear Zazzle:
I absolutely agree with this decision. Acorns that big and jittery, enrobed or not, should never be displayed in any public venue. That dastardly oak leaf should be ashamed of himself.
Too: The artistic nudity and the frolicing menage a trois is beyond despicable. I should be ashamed of myself for promoting, and further exploiting, such lewd and lascivious behavior among the local flora.
As for the bit about this artwork hurting your reputation... Curious that the tee was awarded a TBA. You might want to look into that.
Kindest and best regards,
Haze McElhenny

don't ya love government?
They do this to me all of the time. Here's the joke: I'll remove the word porn and reupload the image without the reference and it'll be approved. Sometimes it's my descriptions that get me into the fire. In that case, I change the verbiage and *Bob's your uncle* the thing is approved.
*go figure*
I thought so too.
Who knew that a few naked leaves could make ya' blush.
When I finish the tattoo project I'll work on that.
Watch and see if I don't.
*g*
yay!!! can't wait
Zazzle ticks me off. The "What's Hot" section is a crock... it's a popularity contest. Reputation? Have they seen some of the CRAP they accept?
(TB, however, seems to take actual skill into consideration.)
Banning your leaf porn is ridiculous... I'm guessing that it's mainly a gov thing.
yes. and they flaunt it - those dirty leaves. such a shame
;)
True some of the issues with my stamps are a government thing but [I think] it's because I used the word, Porn. Seriously - I go through this a lot. More - I have learned to take the good and bad of Zazzle [each] with a grain of salt. It's just not worth the worry.
Are they removing all of the leaf stuff or just the stamp? I can understand the stamp as the government doesn't want "promote lewd behaviour". If they're removing all of it then I have to call a BS on it.
I have noticed that the rating thing is a big production over there. I haven't sold anything yet. I'm beginning to wonder if I ever will. I'm waiting to see if it's a good venue for my art pieces since I'm seriously considering dropping printroom.
I was looking at the leaf porn card and saw this in the side panel with the card details:
Don't forget to make your custom postage!
Thanks for the heads up on that.
They just refused to publish the stamp. Everyting else is intact.
I'll write you at length about Zazzle. It's not [IMNSHO] a viable venue sales if you're looking to make serious money but I do get a few referrals out of it. That makes it work for me. Other's opinions and if they're making "enough" money on it my differ. This is just my 2 cents.
I REALLY have to go look for that shirt now.
*g*
How absolutely ridiculous is that?! They're LEAVES and ACORNS. Obscene? Uggggh.
