One of the greatest artists of all time. Once Britain's most loved star. One third of the UK population had seen him live. Still makes the top 100 albums in the UK every year, despite no longer performing or releasing any new material. Take that in.

But according to some of you, his mere face and any mention of him is "inappropriate" or "offensive"... and REMOVED by a mod, i guess because he's been accused of crimes?

What about P Diddy, R Kelly, or Michael Jackson? Are you gonna hunt down anyone who posts their name or likeness too, ban them and erase the artwork?

What about the Varg Vikernes tributes, including burning churches and references to the murder he committed, or the Lostprophets tributes, are these okay, or have the mods just missed them? Or is there a double standard? What and why?

Maybe Elvis was caught for drunk driving, Snoop Dogg smoked weed and Beethoven stole books from a library and ate in a restaurant without paying. Should we just deny they ever existed? Reject their contributions to music and culture because taking such stances out of "purity" makes you look better?

Gary Glitter has millions of fans, and he served time for whatever he did, what makes him uniquely unacceptable compared to those?

I was banned for a week for "inappropriate content" while my artwork that i worked on for a month was replaced with blank pixels. No explanation, no reason to think it was against the rules in anyway. Meanwhile the same area is covered by "voids" and griefers who have been using the same (and multiple) accounts for almost a year, and nothing ever happens to them. I think mods are just arbitrarly deciding to remove stuff they don't like (bands, sports teams or whatever) and ban users for it. That's the only explanation.
