Enjoying my vacation time

Still got about 10 days left on my suspension from DA so I am making the most of it by doing some housecleaning and maintenance.

If you are wondering why my gallery seems to be missing a few images it is because I am streamlining and cleaning out the cobwebs - the images are not being deleted by DA so you don't have to freak. (but if you do have an image you do want to save on your hard drive, you better make a copy of it pretty soon just n case)

Being suspended is like having the closed sign on the door which lets you work behind the scenes uninterrupted.

Given my gallery has over 1000 images, it will take some time to sort through it all and frankly some of my older pieces are showing their age - bleah!

See you real soon!

That's Dr. Catwoman Possible to you...

Meowwwwww.....

Ame-Comi Harley!

Warm-up sketch - decided to make her a little more anime-like ^_^

Pretty sure this made a difference

They even said the support shown for me helped make them make up their mind on changing my ban to a suspension.

Day 6 - Ban appeal (and rejection?)

*UPDATE!*

Someone responded to my appeal of the appeal and escalated it to their supervisor.

I am only suspended for 2 weeks!

"You have been suspended from deviantART for 1w 6d 23h 46m 14s with a reason of Re-submission of content previously deleted by staff."

I think they must have dug deeper into my records and found a few things not-so-kosher with them.

They were also swayed by the support everyone has shown for me on DA!

I need a nap now... but a happy nap now!

---------------------------------------

I feel sick...

I just got the response to my appeal and the main reasons I got the ban WAS the thumbnail. But that is not all.

Despite behaving myself for 2 months, they still thought they should ban me anyhow.

Why jump to ban?

They said I had already had been suspended a few times before.

This is news to me.

I have never been suspended!

I have been a deviant for 7 years and I am pretty sure I would have noticed having my account suspended and taking it as a warning of possible future actions if I had not behaved.

In fact I would have changed the purpose of my account on Deviantart altogether.

It felt like I was unexpectedly being punched in the stomach when I was extending my hand to them in appreciation and agreement.

DA: "We know you have been sincere and see you have behaved... but we don't care about the fact you have changed and you promised not to be a problem anymore... we are going to ban you now and  not give you a chance to prove yourself." (<- what it felt like they were saying)

Sympathize.

Protest.

Schadenfreude.

Riot.

Whatever... do what you want.

I really don't care right now.

They aren't giving me a chance because of some made-up "suspensions"... so I am really fucked for another month... when they say I can try to appeal the ban again...

Mythical suspensions they pulled out of thin air...

Right now I want to just go to bed... 

...for maybe a month... 

...dream of a miracle perhaps...
