April 10th: The bill has been vetoed!
April 2nd: The politicians in Arizona are about to sign into law a bill that would mandate sites like e621 to either impose age verification on all users or be at a risk of lawsuits. Such system would be required to go through third party vendors, who in turn must go through a government database to verify every user's age. This is not only a major violation of privacy, but it also opens up a very real danger of identity theft through phishing schemes and other methods, not to mention that we would not be able to control any of that information to make sure it is permanently deleted after age verification is complete.
Unfortunately, Arizona is the state out of which e621 operates, which means that this law will almost certainly affect us if it is to pass. If want to help us ensure that this site can continue to serve you without being required to know who you are, please ask the Arizona governor to veto this bill.
Please, help us get the word out by letting others know about this issue.
For some further information on what the bill does have a look at https://action.freespeechcoalition.com/bill/arizona-hb-2586/
We still have a Discord server, come talk to us!

JanitorBecause it was.
And even if it wasn't, this is essentially edit from official map in the game and there's gazillion variations of this.

MemberBut why it's been taken down if it's different form the game?
The original yoshi doesn't have expresions in this one it does.
And the yoshi is female, the base gsme doesn't
It's an official mod form the beat banger community?

JanitorI don't know what "official mod by community" even means, when it's by community, community is third party.
So this is an third party edit to an official game beatmap, at which point it's handled as third party edit here as well.
Also like I said, this is like 30th edit I have seen from this one single yoshi beatmap personally and I don't even follow the game almost at all.
People keep editing both characters colors and then combinations of those, then editing a single aspect like genitals or head of the character, then doing it all over again.
If this was fully original mod for the game with fully original artwork, that might be acceptable, but recording of an official map edited slightly is not acceptable.
