You could send it to your regional EA (go to ea.com and follow links to company information), but the Sims Group is headquartered in California.

When do these new rules go into effect?
http://modthesims2.com/showthread.php?t=241670
Somebody either didn't read the rules or is just not paying attention to them. They used a pay hair in screenshots. A pay hair from TSR. :lol:
Can't say I blame 'em. Remembering which of my crap is pay and which isn't is
hard
sometimes.
As I was discussing with someone on the TS2 LJ community, we'll probably see a trend of either less creators posting at MTS2 (several I spoke to have said, right or not, the new rules are too difficult) or creators removing all custom content except their new stuff when making their screen shots.

I've created this as a quick reference for pay/free hair:
http://www.sims2wiki.info/wiki.php?title=Hair_Gallery
... not done, obviously, but it's coming along.
If you see something with pay hair you can report it (with a link to the pay hair along with it, please) - it's impossible to know -every- hair out there and especially TSR stuff we're probably not as familiar with.
It's really, really not hard to change your sim into Maxis or free hair when taking pics - it's about what you're uploading, not the other stuff in the pics, anyway. It's something people are gonna have to get used to... we're used to people getting upset because we're trying to set a higher standard, and they'll continue to do so for one thing or another. *shrug*

1) It is not hard, but it is a pain.
2) Maxis hairs are ugly.
3) A lot of it is about the other stuff in the pics. It even says in the creator guidelines and everything that your pics sell your creations, and having other pretty things surrounding your creations helps.
4) In spite of these, I still think it's a good move. Not as good as going all-out with the pirateness (pfft, you people and your "high ground"), but good nonetheless.
And that hair gallery looks great! I like the format you've chosen.

HP that's fantastic. Do realise you're just making hair shopping easier for everyone?

Have some of my special homemade rum.

Plum - Eh, it's a minimal pain. 2 minutes at the mirror. Nothing compared to load times and setting up for pics, posing, cropping, etc... and I didn't say JUST Maxis hairs but also free hairs - of which there are tons, quite pretty and nice, and look plenty purtiful to show off whatever you've made.
Cap'n Feathersword - Tee hee, I'd prefer gin but I'll take what I can get.

At least one of my models remains in tact.
Mmm... Virtual boy candy.

We're pirates. There is no gin. Or vodka. or tequilla, bourbon, or rye. And let's not even mention lagers, ales, zinfandels, or merlots.
There is only rum.
And grog at Christmastime.
(It's like the Rule of Six for alcoholic beverages...there is no 13, there is no gin.)

Just take a swig. You won't know what you're drinking after the first mouthful.
We don't need a sober helmsman, it doesn't matter if we crash.

The gallery is awesome, HP! I'm not a creator, but I do love finding new (free!) hair.
Rum is terribly nasty, but it does the job. There was a great mix I had once: coconut rum with pineapple juice. There might've been some tropical punch in there too, but I can't remember.

Bah, now my uploads are being rejected because censoring the pay items from the screenshots I had already made isn't good enough. I gave my models pretty black afros and everything!
Forget it. It seems like these new rules are making things harder on the creators than the paysites.
And you can say "it's not that hard to make new ones" all you want, but it just isn't worth that much effort to me at this point.

Plum, you have great creations. I hope you will still upload them somewhere else.

Thank you. I probably will.
I've never though about uploading anywhere else before. Would Insim be a good place to do so? They seem to be the second biggest site.
Also, as part of this discussion going on in the LiveJournal communities, I've been thinking that this new rule has the potential to hurt the anti-paysite cause in the long run.
Free
items from paysites are still allowed, so instead of Johnny Noob saying "Hey, where can I get that hair?" and me saying "PMBD!" Johnny Noob is going to go to Peggy's site and get it for free, then see that she has a billion other hairs for sale for the low low price of your soul. And the poor newbie sap wont even realize they're poor quality because MTS2 has kept him out of the loop.
Or am I wrong? Or has someone already said this? This thread is liek tl;dr.

I think Insim would be a good site to upload to. I check Insim everyday to see if they have new uploads.
I also agree with you. I think it was better the way MTS2 had it the first time, letting posters comment with the PMBD link.
