Absolutely, and the last thing we want is for the community to become a dumping ground of one particular type of content. It’s a general Final Fantasy community and we will always try to uphold that.
Though we’ve looked at their post history and it has caused some raised eyebrows here, we’re not ones to use that as evidence for bans and only look at conduct within this community.
We almost did remove the first post based on that pornographic assumption but realised it would fit a loose definition of softcore at best based on the image itself. So decided against that. Then the consideration became how to move forward with AI content, as that was one image and we hadn’t received another until now, we decided against a kneejerk reaction in removing or even banning it.
As for downvotes, this is why I also mentioned content contributions. We do have that challenge as @[email protected] is by far the biggest contributor to the community and almost keeps it running on their contributions alone. However, that recent AI image still received more upvotes (though it has negative ratio) than quite a number of Haru’s contributions, so it makes it difficult to use votes alone as indicators based on 2 posts.
As I said, we’re keeping an eye on this and keeping all options on the table right now.

That makes sense! The thorough response is hugely appreciated. :) Even though we still disagree, I see how reasonable minds could differ here.
