- Hi: I have a question. I am a giant squid. I submitted a lens about a week ago that I have been working on, improving, refining, developing. It is about "Footed Pajamas for Adult". Obviously, I am pretty proud of it.
Today I looked and it was not there! Was it deleted? Do you regularly delete all lens submissions? Or was it removed for another reason? Should I resubmit? Are there rules to this process? I don't want to spam. Thanks.
