Last night I submitted The 2000 Yard Stare by Tom Lea (shown below) into the reaction face gallery thinking it could easily be used to express horror, fear, shock, and tiredness. Shortly after I submitted the image it disappeared. The same thing happened today when I tried to submit it a second time. Is there a bug or is someone removing my image because i'm breaking some rule? If it were the latter shouldn't I receive a message on what I did wrong? I tagged and sited the image each time I submitted it.

Maybe it was moved to other gallery, which is weird too.

I removed it.

To put it bluntly, is not a reaction face. Sure, it evokes a reaction like horror or fear but the image is art, not an actual reaction face.

This would be a good example of a reaction face.

It's a very subtle difference, but it is there. When uploading a reaction image I always consider it paramount that you don't include what's being reacted to in the image; otherwise you're ruining the purpose of the reaction .

Cause media moderators delete stuff without explaining or offering suggestions beyond threads like these.

You do realize the media moderators delete/move/etc hundreds of these things a day right? They don't have time to deal with the users of every single mistake. I should have locked this earlier since the question was answered.
