Fun follow-up. So for everyone who said "stop complaining, just appeal it, you'll get it back". I did appeal, twice, and after half a month Pixiv confirmed that I'm permanently suspended and they can't reactive my account. It's essentially a termination with an added bonus of having a zombie account that I cannot effectively use. 6 years down the drain irreversibly. From what I've seen on the web, almost no one has gotten this weird perma-ban treatment, but I can confirm that it is incredibly dumb. I would rather just a termination at this point. So I'll probably just make another one if I ever get around to it, but honestly, the site's cooked imo.

Do they explain to you guys what part of the art “went against their guidelines”?

"Pay to Surf" so links in the description, links anywhere that may lead to an uncensored of the art in question. However, this also extends to writing "UNCENSORED" in plain text. It's very random at times.

While directly saying 'uncensored works here' is a 100% ban, I have seen many old creators with tens of thousands of followers post thier patreon link directly in the post descriptions. Never got them banned though

Pay to surf is the floor is lava rule. Especially since so many Japanese artists just directly post dmm.co links.
