Reply from RedBubble
HI h0110wPeTaL,
We really do not like removing accounts, and I'm sorry to hear you feel this way. I hope you can understand that due to the legal implications we can not delay removing underage accounts if they are reported to us. We need to remove them as soon as possible which is why no notice is given. When signing up, we make it as clear as possible that you must be 16 to create an account, because we want to stress the importance of this condition to membership.
Currently, the best compromise we are able to offer, is that we welcome parents and guardians to upload their child's work to the parents account. However, we ask that parents do not operate a separate account for their child.
Sorry about your account, I hope we will see you again on RedBubble after your 16th birthday.

My reply
RedBubble,
you seem to miss the main points/questions that I am bringing up.
Firstly when I joined this was not enforced/did not exist. If I knew I would NEVER have joined let alone upload over 100 artworks and become a host of not one but two groups. In fact it was one of my teacher's ideas to specifically join RedBubble as she thought it would be the perfect way for me to exhibit my manga drawings and participate in an art community. (Also the reason why a parent cannot upload this for me) the fact that until I got suspended there was no warning for people who were already members. Yes I would fight it but I would have the dignity to leave before I was expunged
Secondly, I have requested legal documentation, proving that RedBubble cannot accept an U16 year old as a member.
Thirdly, my parents are 110% okay with my participation on RedBubble. Is there away for them to agree to RedBubble's conditions on my behalf. (I included a simple model on how this is possible in my original email)
Fourthly, the popularity I have gained has taken alot of hard work over the year that I was a member. And it will be another year until I can "Legally" join again. By that time I will mostly forgotten, what a way to waste a year, I cannot even tell people what my new about where I exhibit my art now
Fifthly, Does my page still exist, will it exist when I try to logon when I do turn 16.

So now I have decided to face one of my biggest fears about the suspension of my RedBubble page. I typed, very carefully, the exact link to my rb profile (www.redbubble.com/people/fireisoblivion). Now, friends have a look at where this link directs you. If you have extra time type it or copy'npaste it directly into your browser. and what do you get... either a rb or a blogger... big fat 404...
some situations like this one make me wish you could capitalize numbers (FOUR-OH-FOUR doesn't count)not only has my page been suspended but it is also hidden or possibly deleted. I don't want to turn this into a fight over either ethics or law. As I have stated in all matters (excluding this one), I have great respect for rb's admin. they are busy but always respectful and normally willing to help out rbubblers.
Maybe I am paranoid or still very upset from what has happened but I feel like the lack of courtesy to us younger redbubblers is due to the very thing that sets us apart from the rest of the rb community. age.
And I wonder if some of the older rbubblers realize the distance between even 12 and 13 or 15 and 16 in my case. Remember when you were 12 and you were just bursting to be 13 so you could be called A TEENAGE. or the distance between that and 18, where in Australia you can then drink, drive (independently of course)and more. And 16 has now become a new goal for people, you can leave home, leave school, get a fulltime job... and now... join redbubble It just seems a bit odd.
I don't want to sell my art
I just want to get the chance to show the world that I am made of,
there was an artwork that I wanted to add to my RedBubble on the 13th of March... I forgot and then it was too late. So I have decided that at the end of each post I will add one artwork, as relevant as possible or sometimes completely random.
This one is a celebration of my world's greatest shave I encourage everyone to click the link and participate if you can.
The photo is titled: One year ago
Photo taken by: Alexei Ymer-Welsby
on a: Pentax K10d (don't know the settings or the lens)
Photomanip: By h0110wPeTaL
on: Photoshop
Thank you again to my loyal sponsors ($800 w00t)
And Mr. Xuereb (he shaved my head)
Alexei, the photographer
Mr. U and yr 12 class of '09 for organising it
All of 9f for their support
My family for letting me
and anyone I have forgotten

Goodbye
I tried logging into my RedBubble account (fireisoblivion) and it told me my account is suspended. I then checked my email, as you do. And it told me it is because I am under 16 years of age. I am immensely upset and distraught by this I have spent hundreds of thousands of hours uploading commenting on artworks learning and displaying my art in a location that I can tell to my teachers, interested family friends and other people who I don't have the time to personally show my artworks to. It is a place where I can also give my skills and time to others by hosting, as you are most likely aware I host 2 groups, as the founding member of both in the case of one group "
I understand that RedBubble is backed against a wall in this situation as they are not the law or have any control over it. But I must complain about a few things to do with RedBubble's dealing with this situation:
Firstly the fact that I had ABSOLUTLY NO WARNING that this was going to occur... I did not even have the time to do a ton of cleaning up activities like: working out new hosts for some of my groups, writing a particular bubblemail to someone who I hoped to become better friends with. (And no I don't have any of her other contact details) Writing a farewell letter so my friends and fans know exactly what's going on and how upset I am about it. Just you know the little things.
As I have just recently imported my 100th Art work (not including poems journals etc.) It is quite implausible to upload my art work to a parents' page so I propose a system that I hope RedBubble might be able to use to resolve this:
No under 16 can join unless a guardian registers a "Guardian's account" claiming responsibility for there Childs/wards/others actions and agreeing to the contract on behalf of the child. This maybe impossible for RedBubble to do either legally or effort wise but I encourage them to do so, as they are losing an important part of the RedBubble community.
Regards and Best Wishes
I hope this will only be for now... but goodbye RedBubble
