Hello,
Over the past couple weeks, I've uploaded some new posts for download. Not even a day later, they simply vanish with no explanation or trace. One I re-uploaded immediately after and it disappeared yet again.
I'm honestly at a loss why this keeps happening to my posts. Has anyone else experienced this? My older posts are having no issues ... Am I doing something wrong?
If someone has just posted the same product before you then later ones will not get approved. I've submitted stuff that didn't get through because someone had posed it just before I did. If it's something already here and still live then you shouldn't be upping it. If it's neither you can ask admin why this is happening.
Yeah, it is neither. I know the rules of the website and not to post already posted things. My uploads were not on the site already and had been approved, even downloaded by users, before being suddenly removed.
I'll find out how to contact an admin.
The only other thing I can think of is your image link isn't linked to Postimages or Imgur which are the only two allowed I think.
https://zonegfx.com/forums/topic/%f0%9f%93%a3-important-do-not-hotlink-images-from-stores-in-requests-2/The image thing means nothing. We are only supposed to use Google drive or Mega for our uploads, but some use siasky, which is a problematic site. Those are viewed as ok, so I can't see why image hosting should be an issue. That is...so long as the image isn't being linked from the source, which is no bueno.
My images are uploaded and linked from Postimages. Following everything on the Post upload page to a "T". Files are uploaded to Mega, images are not linked from the D Store, and all the appropriate links and descriptions are added.
I want to contribute here ... but this wanton removal of my posts is confusing me.
You are posting items that exist in already posted bundles.
For example, you posted these on the 14th of November:
dForce Forlorn Swordsman Outfit for Genesis 8 and 8.1 Males
Slicked-Back Hair for Genesis 8 Maleswhich were already included in the Master Swordsman Bundle (posted on the 11.11.21).
Same for the Dforce Wayward Curls Hair for Genesis 8 and 8.1, it was in the Jazz 8.1 Knight vs. the Giant Bundle.
I hope you realize how bad that looks.
Personally I like it when people split bundles because I usually only want a few bits, but I can see how it would upset the OPs with regard to points etc. Rules are rules and it's best if we stick to them.
"How bad it looks"...? It's not like I uploaded them in bad faith.
There are plenty of singular postings that are included in already-posted bundles. I searched for the specifics, didn't see them, and posted them. There was zero bad intent.
My bad, I guess.
I guess it depends on how long the original post/s have been up. And using the search function is pretty useless to find induvial items included in posted bundles. People fork out lots of points in requests so I can understand why those who do, and those who fill them, get miffed when parts of bundles get posted soon after their filled.
I think the rule is "a few weeks" before filled-requests should appear on the general blog but I've waited 6+ months for some to appear.
All I can suggest is, and this will be a pain in the arse, a more thorough look at whether what you upping is included in recently released bundles.
I don't consider what you did as anything like bad faith. Don't let that idea get to you.@tomcrosby I am not accusing you of bad intent, but if a bundle is released and after 2-3 days you start posting items in it separately "it doesn't look good" and can cause "misunderstandings".
Just take some time on the store page and see if an item is part of a bundle. It just takes a few extra seconds. Take care!
