Such images containing this tattoo or symbol as well any similar symbols/tattoos implying to be "Queen of Spades" (mentioned above) are no longer allowed on this site regardless if they are original and done by the artists themselves if a source is given or are actually a third-party_edit.

Why is this a rule and when was it introduced? There's a crackdown on black spade tattoos as a whole going on. For instance, "spade_tattoo" should have 229 images, but it produces less than a whole page.

Yeah I'm wondering why as well.
It made perfect sense to get rid of all the third party edits. After all, photoshopping someone else's art to add a cringeworthy, racially provocative/controversial fetish indeed is in very poor taste, to say the least.
However I see they recently nuked all posts with this tag, and that includes original art made from the ground up, and original art where you could barely notice it.
Not really sure why. I totally understand not liking the fetish, I was never a fan of it either, but this seems like overkill.

Agree,I don't see why the symbol on itself is forbiding. I understand that its fans may be cringe (an the editing of others art like you said). But the fetish on itself isn't so bad,at least not compare to what others fetish are allowed here. this sound more like a mod just doens't like it at all.

Let's see.
-At first it was allowed.
-People started to make edits adding the symbol to girls, race swapping dudes and often adding racist commentary to it.
-The whole thing has a racist vibe and the posts often have raceplay in it.
-Edits are now prohibited.
-People still upload them and they do not specify if it is an edit.
-Determining if it is an edit takes considerable effort and takes time away from staff.
-Because the whole thing has a racist vibe, not a lot of people will miss it if it's gone.
-Easy solution. The symbol is now completely banned. Now every post with the symbol is deleted.

The subject matter also seems to encourage constant race-baiting and flame wars.

Personally I had no idea it was controversial until I had a post deleted some time ago, to me it was a tattoo and of no importance.
Some time later I saw one of the most autistic discussions in the comments of an image and I understood how problematic it was.

What is this autism and why are you encouraging it by giving them attention through a ban?

Why would it being an edit matter? If there was some way to know if they were edits, would that somehow make the picture less racist or something?
