MYSPACE censors my hunting pics!!!

Earlier today, I posted some pictures on my MYSPACE account, showing Angus and Mooseboy's latest trophies.

Here is my MYSPACE entry




Later in the day, I got this:

__________________________________________________
We had to remove an image (or images) from your account because they violated our Terms of Use.

As best as I can tell, this is the picture they're talking about:
http://www.blackholecoffeehouse.com/MooseDoe0810180002.jpg


It's really odd, because not only did they only delete this one, they kept identical pics of Angus with his doe, taken from the same meat pole, Moose's earlier trophy pics taken in previous years from the same meat pole and a host of other pictures with us posed next to other deer.

I have asked for a full explanation of why this picture was yanked and the specific guidelines under which those pictures were censored.








UPDATE: When I went to post a similar notice just now on MYSPACE, I found they'd also yanked a comment in which I'd referenced my PICASA Web Albums:


Come on, guys! I'm a deer hunter of 25+years. I have two sons I'm bringing along. Expect some dead deer, huh? It may be icky to you, but to us it's dinner.

Time to go to Camospace.com, my friend! Or MyOutdoorzone.com, or myhuntingroom.com - a number of social network sites for us hunters. I deleted my myspace account because they couldn't censor the stuff that should have been censored and now that I know they delete stuff that shouldn't be deleted, I'm glad I deleted my account.
