I agree. I mean, if someone doesn't like captioned manips, he/she can just...not click it? Up to this point everything was okay, as long as post was readable and it was about hypnosis. And now? "This post was flagged for moderation. Reason: MC in text only." - THAT'S THE ENTIRE POINT OF ADDING TEXT. Dafuq are those moderators doing?

Please relax, and just wait until the staff properly address this.

Don't worry, I'm pretty relaxed. I'm not writting all of that because I am mad, I just don't trust our moderators. They started deleting captioned manips several hours ago, some of them for pretty subjective reasons. In the discussion two of them were unable to say what rules are we (manippers) breaking and I think they realised that, because they just stopped responding. And now you are telling me that they started with deleting manips and only NOW are trying to think about proper explanation? This just shows that they really didn't thought about what they were doing.

I agree with the fact that the rules should have been announced and clarified prior to removal. However, let’s not comment on every flagged or deleted manip, as to declare it as unfair.
From what I understand, Henry (site’s admin) will try to sort this out when he’s around at some point later. Until then, just hold tight.

"I agree with the fact that the rules should have been announced and clarified" - I think that clarification is even more important. I mean, this part about "text manips with little relation to what is portrayed in the image" is waaaay to subjective. How can you even measure that? Not to mention the fact that art may be almost 1:1 with the text and STILL be deleted for no solid reason (just look at the situation with Rize's manip). I'm pretty sure that I'm far from commenting every flagged/deleted manip, but I'm commenting SOME of them because you, RedCollarBlackCollar, seem to be only moderator that actually cares about solving this situation. Another mods started discussion a few hours ago, but after they failed to give any true argument for removing some of the manips, they simply stopped responding. It just looks like they were hoping that after a while people will just let go and let them do what they want. This whole situation is messed up so I can't allow it to be ignored. Sorry if I'm irritating someone. "From what I understand" - this part is pretty scary, because it looks like moderators/admins have no idea what they are doing. Normally I would just continue this discussion until this promised "solution", but the fact that you are the one that's asking me to hold tight...I will try, because as far as this situation goes, you are the only moderator that I respect.

So, who flagged this? anyone ever hear about the caption_only?
Moderators are now taking down some of the manips, at this point caption_only is like an invitation to be deleted
