Some images were not permitted. Like the American flag linked above. They rebuilt it but the original was wiped out by an admin user.

This isn't true at all. As I was following it, the original American flag was just being griefed.

There were portions of the canvas wiped out by admins, but the American flag wasn’t among them. That was a coordinated griefing effort.
