It can be confusing if you notice that suddenly some of your published artwork or comments have been removed from the Gallery. We’re glad you stopped by so we can address your concerns and help shed some light on what is and isn’t allowed to be published to the Gallery.
There's only one reason why we remove content published by members of our Community: One of our moderators felt that the artwork or comment in question did not suit the welcoming, inclusive, and creative environment we work so hard to provide for everyone. We definitely don't like deleting the colorings you create or the comments you share and we want to help you avoid this experience. Because of this, one of our moderators will always send you an email message informing you 1.) that your post was removed, 2.) why that was done, and 3.) what you need to do to keep it from happening again. This message will be sent to the email address you gave us when you signed up for the Gallery. If you have had something removed and the notification message didn't reach you, please open a Request with our Support Desk and let us know.
Okay, let’s quickly talk about the Gallery’s purpose. The Gallery is specifically designed to be a stress-free, supportive, and family-friendly space dedicated to sharing colored artwork. We want you to come to the Gallery and be inspired! The Gallery is a place where you can relax and enjoy one another’s creativity. In order to foster such a positive environment, we have put in place some guidelines and community rules.
