I don't understand this, can anyone explain what happened here?

I posted a photo of a tattooed woman in this thread:-

http://www.wrongplanet.net/postp919712. ... ht=#919712

It wasn't rude at all yet it's got a strange message that it 'violated our terms of service' by Photobucket. I wish I still had that photo to show how very un-rude it was but I no longer have it on my computer. It was a female version of the photo of the tattooed man below, which has not been banned, yet it was no more explicit than that, i.e. it was a side view and no body parts were showing.

How come they banned it? Would someone have to complain about it? I'm puzzled as to how it happened.

Never heard of them doing that.

Apparently there's a double-standard at work. Nude males are OK, because blokes don't write in to complain. But nude females aren't, because it sets off an e-mail frenzy.

There should be one rule for all.

Could have been something more explicit in that user's account and they just wiped out the entire account or folder. It's happened.
