Going to Hefess's account on deviantart gives a forbidden page instead, is that what happens when someone is banned?

Can you access any of Deviantart, Eggshell99?

I'm totally locked out of the whole site by an Error 403: Forbidden message.

What gives?

Probably because deviantart just changed their rules to no longer allow characters who are under 18 to be drawn, even if you age them up.

I can still acess the site as well as most artist profiles, but Hefess is gone, including art they posted recently.

The fact that we're talking about drawings here is pretty troubling.

The old saying about "That's kiddie porn!" come to mind. To whit - where are the kids? Where is the porn? In this case, no kids, to say the least.

Ah well. I get the feeling that the big hosting sites are starting to use expanded tools to 'find' content that could get them in trouble (with who, exactly?).

In any case, I enjoy the stuff Hefess does. He's welcome to post it here if he likes.

I don’t know if he’s aware he’s banned? I really hope so. I don’t want his content to just disappear.

Dude still has his Fur Affinity account up, so he's got one back-up. But, holy crap, I bet it's a case of someone with nothing better to do but ruin fun for others.

Also: If you look closely at the title bar, it merely says he was suspended. If banning had happened, his username would've been crossed out. I did not see that on his name at all.

Well that’s good. It means there’s a chance this will be resolved.

Welp, the axe was officially brought on his dA account.
