Eish, sorry to read this!
All I can think of is to talk to a moderator and ask them to meet you via webcam, so that they know it is you for future references.
Hi Unpleasure.
I have mailed you an explanation of whats happened with your photo's.

Rules are rules, but i think if we can read Mikes explanation everyone would understand why pics been removed. The only problem you get caught out and now you angry. Take it as a man and upload only your pics and dont worry about the other people they will caught out aswell. Better report them
Hi there
I think this needs saying: The way the system works for mods doesn't encourage them to identify themselves. It's also quite prescriptive even though you CAN modify and adjust the standard messages, most people don't. I try to make an effort to make the standard messages more specific and informative, rather than the standard vague template. But your message I note that perhaps I should add my name too... I think I'll do that from now.
It's not that they CAN or WANT TO be anonymous, it's just the way the system currently works.
One more note though.... If you have ANY problems at all - you can always contact AdminSteve - he will happily check who send you the message (he can see the logs) and check with the mod in question why they took a particular action. He may also override a decision like this one.
Mail him. He will help you.
As with most new user that simply don't make themselves aware of the site rules, they get upset when they feel they have been treated unfairly.
As any Mod that approved photo's on a regular basis knows, it is simply impossible to personalize every message to a user who has failed to read and comply by the guidelines.
As example there were almost 600 photo's awaiting approval on Sunday evening, With such large numbers of photo's to go through and scan for web downloads it take a lot of time therefore the standard messages.
As a user we know if we have downloaded pictures from the web, I fail to see why we should feel the need to argue the point.
I'm not prepared to use UrPleasure as a demo case by posting the details in public, I have mailed him and he is welcome to chat to me regarding his case.
