    Hi I recently had some of my saves removed from the powder toy. They still show up in "My Own" but you cannot find them via search. Theey were not removed because they contained profain information but instead one was removed because I asked for a vote in return for me making you a logo. A moderator (Lockheed Martin) Asked me to remove the vote cost and I did. I later noticed the simulation could not be found by searching at all. I had a similar experience with a reactor I made that had a counter that I would update to display the number of views. NOT VOTES. The same moderator asked me to remove the view counter(Lockheed Martin reffered to it as a "Vote counter") I argued but immediately removed the counter and the reactor can no longer be found on the server no matter what I search for. I am asking TPT staff and moderators to either permanently remove saves for rules violations and delete them or to ask violators to fix/change the simulation and not remove them unless the violator refuses to fix the content.

    Thank you,

    Rules

    Rules:


    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.

    -Has been extended into asking for comments for better stuff. They may give feedback, but not numeric comments for more stuff.

    -And includes requiring people to write why they voted down. People are annoyed with this.

    When you save to the server, you have the option to "Publish" it, this means that it can be found by searching, when a save breaks the rules (The first time, at least), it is just unpublished. All you have to do is open the save, and save again (Make sure you "Save as new name" (you don't have to use a new name) with the publish box ticked.
