Just wanted to say that costume modration has begun (at least on Little Big Workshop). This morning I received an e-mail from Sony saying that Marvel had complained about "something" I had submitted on LBW and I had violated copyright policy and that I shouldn't post the content again. Now, of course, they never said what it was, but after looking through my last fews posts, inspirations, etc. it appears as though it was my "SackThing" inspiration. I also noticed that several other Marvel custom costumes had been removed from other users also.
I wonder if Marvel looks through Flikr to find pictures of kids dressed up as Marvel characters for Halloween. I mean c'mon! A standard orange skin with a brick pattern and a blue swimsuit??
That's the worst thing you can find on the Internet? At least it didn't get removed from my game...yet! Creators be forewarned!!
