it's beyond me why one would act offended if a particular picture is rejected. Just move on and upload something else.
Not to be that guy, but I'd say the best way to understand it is to experience it.
So I'd advise you to actually start uploading something to begin with. Then keep going until you get your first post removed.
I don't really want to get into the nitty-gritty of this. I just want to thank the folks who run this site, and the folks who upload the content. I visit all the time, there are a wide variety of physiques, and it's free. I understand it can be frustrating if you upload content that gets rejected, try and keep some perspective though.
No clue where people are getting the idea that I get offended if my pictures get rejected. That's entirely this site's prerogative. I have a problem with actually being disciplined for posting borderline content just in case other people liked it and then being spoken to like an asshole even though I was a decent contributor.

Honestly, anyone who's going to experience great angst and stress over having some of their submissions rejected (for some reason) can just stick to uploading things that aren't borderline or fall within the discouraged categories, that tends to be a lot safer.
Or they can take their chances with continuing to upload low quality/borderline things like this or this from drtheglob and throw a tantrum when some of them get removed and their upload rate gets limited, I guess. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
People still going for the low-hanging fruit of saying I'm getting "mad" when my pictures get rejected. Like I just re-clarified, getting the pictures rejected really isn't a problem. I didn't appreciate being disciplined and then spoken to like an asshole for uploading borderline content.
Neither did I claim to be something great for having uploaded a couple dozen good pictures. I only ever referred to myself as a decent contributor for this reason.
You've got people with no argument playing games with characterization, no surprise.

"Your account had a limitation placed on it due to repeated uploads showing not enough muscle. It wasn't just for one single upload, but rather a longer pattern of such uploads. In these cases we prefer to limit the account in question because it saves us work to have the account upload less"
I don't see that answer as being disciplined or spoken to like an asshole. It's a bit dry sure but that goes with addressing hundreds of times the same thing. And if that kind of answer makes you throw such a tantrum, well you're kinda the problem here man not gonna lie.
Also come on, you're obviously fucking mad, and over what ? The moderation of a free privately owned fetish site. Just this should light a bulb in your head and make you realize that you're being ridiculous.

I’ve been there, and experienced rejections, since I wasn’t always a mod and didn’t pay attention to the same things. Then as a mod I’ve had images removed, because a model got blacklisted, or merged, because I don’t get immunity. It is frustrating, but in uploading I chose to play the game and the consequences that come with it. It’s like “don’t play ice hockey if you expect to always win and not get into the odd fight”.

Yeah, agreed, but there you said it: it's frustrating. The person I was replying to (cdcd) said he can't wrap his head around why someone would get mad over it. He has 0 uploads, so he probably never experienced it, and that's why he can't understand it. It's generally easier to talk if you've never been there.
Of course, how you react to this frustration matters (in this situation shouldn't at all, because it's not a big deal - we don't even create the content, just re-post it and in some rare cases waste a little bit of time to cut / edit the clips).

Brother. I think you escalated the situation too quickly. That first response you got over email far exceeds my expectations for a free service. I got way drier responses from paid customer support on paid services.
If you think these guys are assholes, you probably haven't seen actual asshole mods yet. In my experience it's rare to call a mod on the internet (let alone the creator of the site / forum) a "disagreeable jerk / jackass" and not get perma-IP-banned for 5 generations to come.
And when I first read the title I was expecting to see some spicy DM leaks between mods talking real shit about you, not Chainer or whoever that was basically just saying "k." after you deleted your uploads.

The way in which these mods choose to speak to people is abundantly clear- It's arrogant and disrespectful. I get that it's not monumentally bad in the grand scheme of things, but it's still clear enough what the vibe is. What's more, have they even bothered to deny that they talk to people this way? You're saying all this in their defense but to be honest, I think it's more likely that they're the type that just plain don't care how they talk to people.
I appreciate this free ad-supported site. Content posters fill it up, and mods keep the duplicates and crap out.
There are way more content posters than mods. Posters can take a week or a month off. It's the easier task by far. Mods have to provide fairly regular coverage.
I get that some people take a joy in not only finding content but getting it accepted and getting credit. If that's the currency that makes this process work, I'm happy for it.
But.
I'm astounded than anyone feels entitled to post stuff and have it accepted, or expects a lot of hand-holding from the mods. And then takes it to the forums!
The picture did not have any business being on the site. I did not see what you took down, but I doubt it will be missed much. This site gets many new pics each day. I don't understand why the poster is upset. That was not borderline muscle. There was nothing worth seeing period and it did not meet the standard. Lets move on.
The content that has been presented so far was borderline; if the other submissions were of similar nature I'd agree that the limitation on the posters account seems warranted.
As to the offense taken: it seems like the OP, perhaps upset by the limitation, read disrespect from a message that was a factual statement of the circumstances. When the OP responded by indicating they were terminating the relationship, that the mod didn't chase after them is not in itself disrespectful or arrogant. OP had already removed their content, I'm not sure what response they expected from a moderator at that point.
For context, here is the full email conversation with me that OP is referring to, with his name/email censored.
Wait, this is the cockiness? LOL
You and the mods doing stellar, Chainer. keep it up
Here's another ok the door tilting out, but if checking it closely it's also crooking. I'm clearly thinking the mods are getting benefiting from influencers for protection
Lol, I assume you have some evidence of this and didn't just pull it out of your ass?
(It's always funny when people with delusional paranoia think something is "clearly" happening that they literally made up in their heads)
Also, the word you're looking for is "crooked", "crooking" doesn't work in English in this context. I assume that's what you were getting at, at least. I also don't really see what you're referring to offhand, so I guess I'm also being paid off by random Instagram models?
This is the straight answer.
I think we have alll had pics removed for one reason or another.
OP has not been banned! He chose to delete his uploaded photos that had already made the cut.
An option is for OP to slightly modify his approach and continue to contribute.
