Save Publishing Guidelines


These are guidelines for avoiding having saves deleted or otherwise hidden from public view. If you fail to follow them, don't be surprised if your saves get lousy votes, unpublished, removed from the front page should they make it there, or simply deleted alltogether.

1. No image plotting. If you have to use a program to draw out pixels from an image outside of Powder Toy without drawing it by hand, then don't be surprised when someone notices and it gets deleted. Jojobond has his on the topmost votes more because he was the first to figure out how, and less because of the saves themselves.

2. No self-voting. This equates making more than one account, and then using that account to vote for your own saves, or even someone else's. It's very obvious when it happens, we can see that stuff. o_o People get banned for doing this. Don't do it. It's still possible to make an account for multiple people to use and post saves on, provided those saves are not voted on by the individuals who own the account, and no posts are made on the forums with it.

3. No hate saves please. Like, no shooting jews, killing Beiber, -__-

4. No penis drawings. Or any other explicit sex please. We like to think this is a game that kids can play when family is around. ...In light of recent things, no non-explicit sex either. Ten year olds play this game, don't get people's parents on their cases. :(

5. Please don't advertise for your save, IN your save. It's hard to express how annoying it is to see people drawing more elaborate vote-up signs than their saves in question required. Gimmicks for getting votes like "100 votes and I'll make a better version." are similarly frowned upon.

- This includes saves that "thank" for votes with excessively large signs or simply make a large point of it, as well as saves including a characteristic green arrow asking for votes. If your stuff is awesome, you shouldn't have to beg for popularity to make it so. These in particular will be removed from the front page, should they make it that far.

- ...And yes, this applies to asking for negative votes too.

6. Do not mis-use reports This has recently became more popular. It wastes moderator's time, and may lead to saves wrongfully deleted. If you mis-use the system we have the right to ban without warning.

Probably one of these

The mods never hide saves for nothing.
Was it a part of the save of somebody else?

@hahaha1278 (View Post)
Mmmh...Then I don't know, the only thing that could help is that the mod the hid your save come here and post

Or maybe someone in your family came on your acc and hid it?
