FR's skin page says this: "Scars, light wounds, and blood splatter are generally okay."
That's a minor scratch, and I can easily see someone thinking that it would fall under 'light wounds'. It certainly fits that better than "We do not allow skin designs that depict creatures that appear to be suffering from massive wounds and/or designs that contain excessive gore"
The arrow one was told it would be fine if they removed the (pink) blood around the arrow. So... the arrow being embedded in the dragon was fine, but a small amount of blood wasn't.
If they updated the rules to say 'no blood that appears to be coming from the dragon' that would have covered off a lot.
I sympathise with the posters in that thread. They're not asking for rule changes, they're asking for stuff that gets regularly denied to be listed so that people who aren't familiar with the skin drama and staff's unwritten preferences can get through first time.
Potentially de-anoning myself with this, but I recently submitted an accent with incense in. I had literally no idea there could be an issue with that until I read through that thread.
Huh, I didn't realize that. (Like another commenter upthread, I never have made accents or ever will, so of course anyone who thinks I should accordingly not be speaking on this topic can ignore all this!) Thank you for the info. In their shoes I'd not have written it that way just for the aforementioned can o' worms reason, but if that is the wording, I can understand why the artist did what they did.
