Practically my entire gallery has been removed for "copyright infringement."

WTH? I mainly post fanart and according to FAQ#572 ([link]), "The type of fan art which is deemed acceptable for submission are those work in which the submitting artist has done 100% of the work. This means that the artist had started with a blank slate and perhaps a reference (a pose, character, location, or other source) and proceeded to draw, paint, or otherwise create every line and place every color with their own hand."

=__= That's what I did!! And it still got removed. I'm okay with having the manga colorings deleted since those are Kishimoto's work anyway, but my fanart? I made those from scratch!! Do you have any idea how many hours of my life I spent on those?!?! Now I can't prove that I made them from scratch because they're on my old comp which is now TRASHED by my dad!!! D:<

And that's not all; even my entry submissions for contests were removed!! Since when was submitting entries to a contest copyright infringement?! Hell, even my one ORIGINAL work was removed (anyone remember my "Lolipop Witch" that I submitted for Halloween years ago?)!!

Wtf is this crap? >__> And here's the note the staff sent me if you're just curious:

"The work(s) listed below have been removed by staff as a violation of the deviantART copyright policy. Your deviantART submissions must consist entirely of your own work or valid stock resources and must not include works from copyrighted sources.
