Thank You and Et cetera
Thank you, Watchers of Gentlemansclubstock, for your support... all 1,418 of you! :lol: I'm sorry that I don't have time to be more involved on this site. The fact is, this stock site is something of an afterthought for me... something I do because I feel it is is useful for others. I am primarilly a genre photographer. My main site here on dA is ~Toadsmoothy2 (https://www.deviantart.com/toadsmoothy2) although I also maintain :icontoadsmoothy: for miscellaneous stuff I'm not very good at. hahaha
For almost 30 years I have collected antique photographs and printed images of antique photographs, not only of Nude subjects but all subjects, simply because I love these images. My su
My final transmission...
About this whole RULES issue anyway. :giggle:
I've gotten permission from Lolly (an administrator) to post his response here for our mutual enlightenment on efforts now underway to re-write the RULES to clearly allow Public Domain material on stock sites and for use in artists' submissions here on dA.
I will post here the entire thread of the conversation which, of course, runs from the last to the first note.
I will say here that, unlike my dealings with other un-named administrators, Lolly has been a stand-up guy through all this.

This RULE threatens us all
Well, since I haven't heard back from my query to dA staff last night I'll go ahead and open this can of worms.
This is the official note I received when my Gallery here was deleted:
"Your deviations were removed due to violation of one of the following policies:
An administrator has removed your deviation as being a violation of copyright.
Your submissions may not contain material or images which were not created entirely through your own effort; this means that you cannot simply collect photographs, artworks and other images, writings or scans from printed books/magazines and submit them to your account. You are not allowed to submit "r
Dazed and Amazed
I have recieved an apology from dA and all 136 current images have been reinstalled in my Gentlemansclubstock Gallery by them. I appreciate their doing this and will seriously reconsider my former determination to leave dA. I would have contacted them before, asking questions about their decision to remove my Gallery but the notes I recieved when they deleted the Gallery clearly stated that I was not to contact them with questions about their decision. So I didn't. In turn, I made a decision of my own, which was to leave. But now they have, for whatever reason, changed their minds. So, I must in good faith reconsider.
