"Content Removed on Tagged"


This self-portrait of myself in my "Dynamic Load - Safety 3rd" was flagged for inappropriate content on a networking site called Tagged

Wow.  Really?  For a place that looks like the whole point is to hook up, I am surprised that this photo was removed for sexually explicit reasons. I can't think of any other reason on the list below that pertains to me.  Is there some slang reference to sex I am making without realizing it. If you know what the deal is, please share!

Here's the list of reasons why it may have been remove:
  • Promotes racism, bigotry, hatred or physical harm of any kind against any group or individual
  • Harasses or advocates harassment of another person
  • Involves the transmission of "junk mail", "chain letters," or unsolicited mass mailing or "spamming"
  • Promotes information that you know is false, misleading or promotes illegal activities or conduct that is abusive, threatening, obscene, defamatory or libelous
  • Promotes an illegal or unauthorized copy of another person's copyrighted work, such as providing pirated computer programs or links to them, providing information to circumvent manufacture-installed copy-protect devices, or providing pirated music or links to pirated music files
  • Contains restricted or password only access pages, or hidden pages or images (those not linked to or from another accessible page)
  • Displays pornographic or sexually explicit material
  • Provides material that exploits people under the age of 18 in a sexual or violent manner, or solicits personal information from anyone under 18
  • Provides instructional information about illegal activities such as making or buying illegal weapons, violating someone's privacy, or providing or creating computer viruses
  • Solicits passwords or personal identifying information for commercial or unlawful purposes from other users; and engages in commercial activities and/or sales without our prior written consent such as contests, sweepstakes, barter, advertising, and pyramid schemes 

That's quite the list. Maybe I don't want to be a part of this networking site. The worst thing I was doing was subtly promoting myself with a heaping dose of deniability. Oh well, I mostly just wanted to grab the "SophiaSky" handle before someone else did.  The Twitter confusion about people signing up to follow the "SophiaSky" who is not me is a bit of a bummer.
