Pixiv suspended my Pixiv Account :(

Hello everyone, Pixiv has done it again and suspended my account. This time, however, it's not my Fanbox but my Pixiv account itself, with nearly 8,500 followers on the DarkSider93 Pixiv account... Pixiv states that the reason for the suspension is that I linked to, mentioned, or even simply referred to a site where uncensored content is available...

Just to clarify, we’re talking about R18 content—what does Pixiv expect?

They refer to Article 14, Point 17 of the ToS. Here's a quote from Pixiv's message:

"

Please review the Master Terms of Use and pixiv Guidelines thoroughly to ensure no other violations are present. If a violation is identified after your application, the suspension will remain in effect.

" Honestly, I don't understand Pixiv's problem here once again... All my content is marked as R18, both the Fanbox I always link to and all the posts on Pixiv itself... What do they expect from R18 content? 😅 I'm afraid this might apply to almost all 1,500 posts on my Pixiv... At the moment, I'm traveling (and had posts scheduled on Pixiv until Friday), but unfortunately, I was dumb enough not to bring a laptop and don't have access to a PC here. This will make it impossible for me to edit all 1,500 posts on Pixiv and remove the links to Fanbox 😑😬 The planned posts will still appear on Fanbox over the next few days, but unfortunately, you won't be seeing me on Pixiv for the next few days or weeks...

I'll keep you updated, and I hope Pixiv will lift the suspension... :/ Stay Tuned - DarkSider93
