Adding of Age Restrictions and Removal of Works
Images, their titles and their captions are all treated as part of a work,
so when adding age restrictions or removing works, the service's management team will first check the information
in the "Report Information about This Work" form. If the work is deemed problematic,
it will be deleted or an age restriction added, and malicious conduct prohibited
by the rules below will be dealt with through deletion of the user's ID.
Please be aware that you will not receive an answer if you ask why your ID was deleted.
