Tom Fulp, made the final decision regarding SFM art yesterday.
As of now, uploading screenshots taken with Source Film maker is no longer allowed.
Keep in mind that uploading animations in the movie portal is still perfectly fine and will not ever get banned.
Basically the reason why this happened is because of 4 reasons.
1.People were uploading stuff using stolen models that they didn't have permission/right to use.
The mods simply don't have the time to check every single submission on whether the person who uploaded the picture has full rights to use every single model in every picture.
2.The flooding of SFM pictures was not considered fair to regular artists since every single traditional piece of art had to compete with 30+ sfm porn pictures for attention/space in the art portal.
3.The site also has tons of 3d artists who make all of their stuff from scratch and upload their content to the art portal. Once again, it's not right for them that the 3d art section is flooded with content that people made with assets that they ripped from SFMlabs and just posed up in SFM.
4.SFM art was already a grey area when it came to the TOS. https://www.newgrounds.com/wiki/help-information/terms-of-use/art-guidelines
The rules forbid the posting of content made with "scene creator tools" or content made using "public files/3d models" since the content created with these was considered to be created by the person who created the tool/model, not the person who made the scene. Today was basically just the first day that the mods started enforcing the rule.
