Skin Was Labeled "Incompatible" Please Help
Hey, I'm saddened my Grom skin was taken down....
I spent at least 40 hours on it and it was running at 82% approval with nearly 1000 votes in just two days. The only thing that was said is that it was "incompatible" and redirected me to the manual.

Can you tell me specifically what was wrong with it so I can fix it ASAP? Thanks!

If it's regarding the Russian Coat of Arms (I have a Russian themed gun), here is what I was able to find when I tracked the object to Wikipedia:
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Coat_of_Arms_of_the_Russian_Federation_with_Soviet_Heraldry.svg

"This work is not an object of copyright according to article 1259 of Book IV of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation No. 230-FZ of December 18, 2006."

"Shall not be objects of copyright:

I doubt it was due to copyright reasons. I suggest you talk about this with AJ. Usually when it comes to well-known icons it's best to either modify them, to the point where they are not as recognisable, or ask mods before using them. Ideally -- both.

The title of the skin was called "Red Dawn" - My friends suggested that maybe that was the reason? If it was as simple as renaming it, I will gladly do so (since there were two movies the name references).

I wish I knew what it was because I could have spent today fixing it and get it back up there for more views/votes. If you take someone's skin down suddenly, it would be nice to have even a short sentence or two for the author on what needs to be revised.

I'll get in touch with one of the moderators for you to help sort this out.

Howdy, i can confirm that it was due to the Russian Federation symbol that the skin was hidden, however, with the link that you've provided, i can see that you had the rights to use the logo, so i've unhidden the skin.

As Yamaha stated, often it's best to modify these kinds of things, so they resemble, but aren't a copy that could cause any legal issues.

I'm sorry that about the situation, if there is anything i can do, let me know
