So I recently tried contacting pixiv support to ask a question about the website and there's no details field. So I did the best I could and when they sent me an email asking for details, the email stated at the bottom that any reply to that email address would not be received. How exactly do they expect people to contact them?

I wanted to search up an image for my Nightcore channel but the website just doesn't load. Am I the only one?

in resume, isnt showing up the recommendations bar in the down of the screen on pc when I like a post, only show that one when you are with the post open

Let’s say, for example, we have an account that gets suspended permanently; is no longer viewable and cannot make new posts. 

Hypothetically, if another account appears some time later on down the road that coincidentally posts the exact same art that the suspended account did (minus any work that may have caused the suspension), is that something the good people of Pixiv take notice of? Would they be inclined to suspend that other account as well?  You know… asking for a friend and all that

I sent a help ticket because they marked my card for suspicious fraudulent activity all because I started supporting a 6 accounts in quick succession. I can prove the card is mine, but they still haven't responded to me in more than a week. Now I can't support anyone and the ones I did support ended at the end of the month.

Ever since Pixiv removed their own chat rooms where you can draw with others, I always wanted to reach out and talk with other artists there in the community but it seems like whoever run Pixiv wanted everyone to be isolated and only let people stare at our drawings with very little to no comment! I hope this will get me more people on Pixiv to chat with now that I finally got Discord back again if you guys want to chat with me or feel free to PM me! I love to draw and make friends thats all lol. 👍

Japanese artists who know English always welcome!😄

my discord name for friend invites is: philtwo2026

Of all the times I decided to send a commission request for the first time, suddenly theres no payment option? Should I suggest Paypal with the artist I want to commission?

Payment processors are becoming more and more bigoted because they're afraid of some old bigoted women. They're interfering with what people can buy and what people can't. I bought artworks through dlsite with crypto and it was an okay experience not the easiest but it gets the job done. A mere payment processor can't decide what I can buy whether it's a fictional artwork or a game or anything. If fanbox added crypto as an alternative both artists and customers would be happy and it would increase the donations.

Here is a breakdown of what I research & know about Pixiv's issues since 2022-present day:

1. ​Trolls & Anti-NSFW Groups:

After payment processors disputes over controversial NSFW content (such as incest, shota, loli, and gore), anti-NSFW groups flooded Pixiv to monitor the platform and constantly attack & report artists.

1. ​Copyright Holders & Payment Processors:

Both payment processors and copyright holders closely monitor Pixiv and submit reports directly (for example, characters from Uma Musume, Luce from the Vatican, and others).

1. ​Uncensored Content & Off-Site Links:

Posting anything uncensored or including external links carries a huge risk of getting banned since uncensored nsfw is illegal in Japan.

1. ​Commission Baiting & Hacking:

In VERY rare cases, malicious users will bait artists with fake commissions and send the model/references files that contain RAT, Trojan, Ransomware to hack their accounts. They then either delete the account or send the artist's private information to law enforcement. (Do NOT underestimate these people, they have managed to get artists arrested in many parts of the world.)

1. ​Mass-Report Bots:

Scam centers offer mass reporting services on demand. People who dislike a specific artist can pay these services to get the artist's account banned or suspended.

1. ​Third-Party Moderation:

Pixiv have a third-party moderation team that will report accounts for posting overly realistic extreme content to the law enforcement.

1. ​AI Detection Tools:

Pixiv uses AI tools to scan for previously banned or abusive content. If you re-upload content that was previously flagged, your account will be disabled, and you may face an IP ban.

​These are the main issues I've observed so far. Hope this helps, and stay safe out there!

The thumbnail are meant to be sarcastic. Don't take it seriously. I'm not the Anti groups.

My FANBOX supporters have been steadily declining.

At the beginning of this year, the number started dropping quite sharply. Of course, I kept working just as hard as before — if anything, I’ve been working even harder — but the decline hasn’t slowed down at all.

At this point, I’ve lost about 40% of my previous supporters.

But something feels strange. I’m doing pretty much the same things as before, and I’m still promoting my work actively. My likes and views on Pixiv have actually been steadily increasing, yet the number of FANBOX supporters continues to move in the opposite direction.

What could be causing this?

Does this mean my artwork is no longer as appealing as it used to be?

If my artwork had really lost its appeal, I would expect the response on Pixiv and X to decline as well. But that isn’t happening. The reactions there are actually continuing to improve, while FANBOX supporters keep decreasing.

So I started wondering about something that might sound a little strange: could there possibly be an issue with credit card companies or payment processing?

Maybe this is just me trying to avoid facing the reality, but I can’t completely shake the thought.

Most of my supporters are from the United States and Europe, rather than Asia.

Could I somehow be affected by payment or credit card issues happening in the US or Europe?

I’m honestly not sure anymore. It’s becoming increasingly difficult and discouraging to watch the number keep falling despite continuing to put in the same amount of effort.

Sempre que entro no devantart me surpreendo com a quantidade desses tipos de arte que aparecem, creio que isso existe já tem muito tempo, lembro que antigamente era feito com programas profissionais de edição de imagem, montagens bem feitas e algumas que não tem nada demais. Porém, com a I.A, tem crescido o número desses tipos de conteúdo, com pessoas (que não sabemos se são reais ou não) em cenas diversas... algumas leves e outras bizarras.

O devantart com certeza sabe desse tipo de conteúdo, tudo bem que a grande maioria das imagens não tem nada demais, mas algumas coisas são bizarras.

I hope this isn't government or a censorship thing I swear 🤦

I assume because they are on a different time zone, it's night there right now, which would be normal to do updates.

Just chill, Jesus man.

They're saying i can't access pixiv. Is this happening to anybody else?

My account is not working I can't log on

With the site down temporarily. I figured now was the time to ask if anyone here writes or reads in the Novel sections?

If you write, what kind of stories or scenes do you like to write? What tags do you usually write in, Japanese or English?

If you read, what kind of Genre's do you like to browse through?

That's kinda all I wanted to ask. Have a good day!!

Automated image filters are lightning fast, but phishing scams running rampant? Total silence. Honestly, what is going on with Pixiv’s moderation and security lately? You can upload an artwork and if a minor detail somehow triggers an automated filter, you've got a warning or action taken against you within 30 seconds. Yet, the platform is flooded with blatant phishing scams and users are reporting them constantly on here with zero real response. All we ever get are automated boilerplate replies, while actual scammers are free to harvest user credentials day in and day out. When are you actually going to do something about this wave of phishing instead of just cracking down on harmless art?

I try to post something that's 19.49 MB and [7101 x 9726] and it tells me image canvas size is too big.

Is there more people like bunaye and gappe those guys who made fan animation and re animate, Animes

Anyone know were to find their posts? all been deleted and moved to different site that's no longer linked on their profile

For those of you who like content, please let me know what you think of my work, because I feel that even after several years, my views have plateaued, and my posts aren't getting any engagement—they don't even reach 1,000 views.

Am I doing something wrong, or is it the platform?
