Hey all,

I had posted an image recently that was removed by user medlem for admittedly valid quality reasons. Later today, I (I feel) painstakingly fixed the problems with the post and resubmitted it. After that, it was almost instantly deleted by user DeNatural and I was looking to get in touch with them to appeal the removal. It seems the best way to do that is through the furry diffusion discord, but on attempting to join, I'm met with a "this server doesn't appear to have any channels" message. No other server seems to be doing this to me. Have I been shadowbanned for wonky IP reasons, or what's going on there? At any rate, I would like to be in the discord aside from just appealing the deletion.

Side note, if I were hypothetically to modify an image in GIMP by hand to meet quality standards, would that still qualify as AI and be legal to post? There have been some great gens I've had to throw away because of minor details that would cause them to be rejects on here.

@denatural also, what is "Dmail"? I just saw that on your profile when you bring up how appeals work.

you can't be "shadowbanned" you are either banned or not, if you were banned you wouldn't be able to join, there is something going on with you joining the server and the OnBoarding thing from discord

Dmail is when you are at someone's profile and you see the "Send Message"' from an individual, this is basically Direct Mail to send to other users, staff or from auto moderator for whatever be the reasoning
I sent you a Dmail as an example with this exact same message
Dmails are the proper way to address stuff with the staff but the e6ai staff also allows dealing with it on discord

Okay, so it's DMs. I must be losing my mind that I didn't find it. Also, fricken discord...
