Remember the girl who had her cat in almost every single picture of her
totally legal items, Maruneko?
http://pupe.ameba.jp/profile/8hk-GxrNNol3/She got brownboxed. There are only 21 pictures left in her closet and none of the ones that are left have her cat in them.
ETA2: Her cosplay items ARE STILL THERE. I originally wrote "Apparently however cosplay items are legal, because one of the items
remaining is her cat hood with cat ears and cat paw gloves." People keep freaking out like I said cosplay items were illegal. I never said that, I said that they left those IN her closet when they removed the hundreds of pictures she had where her cat was sitting there modelling jewellery or next to a makeup item.
I am really annoyed because I'm pretty sure I know who's behind it--they started a stink about her on the Japanese boards and got a lot of people to complain--but my point is that
all her items were legal, the cat was just in them all, usually either modeling the items or under them or right near them.
Apparently, not only are you no longer allowed to model your own items, or to have another person model them, you cannot even have your CAT model your items, this is considered to be a picture of your cat, not your clothes, even if the cat is WEARING your clothing or jewellery or asleep on or in your bag.
*fumes* I thought I'd better say something since many people in the community do have pets who occasionally appear in their pics and most of us even enjoy seeing this (frankly, I would rather see strangers' cats than their babies...)
ETA: Anyone notice when the amendment was made to the rules saying that they will only take ribbon items as an illegal item deletion penalty? This is now in the rules (it's on the page with all the boxes you have to check before you post a photo you've uploaded), and she is in fact nekkid except for her cat ears etc which are jewel items. I suppose that's somewhat fair since we do pay real money for jewels, but I have used a lot of jewels to get ribbons to buy rare old ribbon items...
ETA3: She got her account back!
