No thumbnails are loading, even Booth is struggling, anyone else having connectivity issues right now?

Just as the title says, I wanna sub to a certain animator but I can't. I get that the blacklisting of mastercard and visa is a good and morally right move to make because of how scummy they are, but this is just frustrating.

More than a year ago I got my pixiv account restricted for posting art that violated the rules. Even after I deleted or edited the pictures my account is still restricted. I tried contacting pixiv but no response. I wanna make a new pixiv account but if I do should I use the same email or use a different email? Regardless is it still gonna get me restricted again?

Reason I wanna come back to pixiv is because I recently got banned from deviantart and they suck big time! I lost 11 years and 700 deviations. I tried to reason with them and they won't budge. I figured that since pixiv is less strict than deviantart I figured it'd be better for me to come back to pixiv.

Turns out the Vatican isnt a big fan and is throwing "Copyright" on No Fair Use, Japan.

So.. you know, dont do it lol

im using brave browser, was working 2 days ago, but since then user pages will not load, not even going to anything related to my own profile will load. bookmarks, info, posts, etc refuse to load. i can load up profile settings page where you change language and such.

if it helps, the discovery page loads, recently uploaded by users i follow still load, even the main page loads, but the moment i click any user to go to their page and see their art, nothing loads. i want to go to my bookmarks to make the process faster to see my favorite artists recent posts? nah.

im not sure what is happening, i checked on my phone with chrome and it all works. just brave thats giving me this issue.

if someone can advise me on what I did wrong or what I should change

new user of pixiv here, im trying to request art but can't due to my region (united kingdom), when i changed my region to Japan however i was able to request art, is there any complications to requesting art from a different region?

I recently started uploading my backlog of art onto Pixiv and was curious as to why my thumbnails appear so muddy? I know jpegs compress much better but I save my art as pngs. Should I switch over to jpegs?

I would link my account but it's NSFW, but if you really want to see it, it's linked on my profile.

Anyone have the same problem? At the end, the pague dosen´t work

Hello.

What a bad news to receive this in my email this morning:

Leading viewers to sites with explicit content is prohibited

Dear user,
Thank you for using our service.

Your account has been suspended due to violations of the pixiv Service Master Terms of Use.

pixiv Service Master Terms of Use

Article14. Prohibited Conduct

17. Posting Posted Information for the purpose of commercial advertising, publicity, or inducement (except in cases specifically permitted by the Company), Posted Information that contains affiliate links, Posted Information that contains inducements to other parties such as MLM or "pay to surf", Posted Information that induces traffic to adult sites, one-click fraud sites, sites intended to distribute viruses or other malicious computer programs, or other sites determined by the Company to be inappropriate (including simply posting links to such sites), or other Posted Information that the Company determines to be inappropriate

Of course Pixiv doesn't tell me what post cause this suspension. But, I assume it's my latest post from Saturday, which is an illustration of character with her nipples covered and a link to my FANBOX to see an exclusive version with uncovered nipples (no genitalia, or anything like that, needless to say everything is ok on FANBOX side)

I made the mistake of putting in my description "Uncensored version on FANBOX" + a link to said FANBOX.

So I completely deleted the word "uncensored" but I let the link (because FANBOX belong to Pixiv and there's no problem here).

I completed the reinstatement request form explaining the misunderstanding and putting an emphasis on taking full responsibility and "sincerely apologize for the trouble caused by my actions". I hope it'll be enough to get my account back.

I just wonder how much time it'll take to get a response? Is it a matter of days? Weeks? Or months? Because from what I saw on reddit it's seems to be very random. Some people get their account back immediately while others are just completely ignored (tho it seems to only be the case for people doing AI, realistic/3DCG and l*li/sh*ta, and I've never done any of that).

EDIT: My suspension has been lifted after 24H. They warned me that any similar violation in future will lead to a permanent ban without notice.

I'm still not completely sure if it really was the mention of the word "uncensored", even if the reason of my suspension was "leading viewers to sites with explicit content". After sending the request form I remembered that some of my posts had a link to my Redbubble where I sell prints of my artworks. In case it fall under the "commercial advertising" rule, I deleted them but without including it in my request form.

Thank you all for your answers!

I don't like subscription system and I never will. I always hate the idea to ask people to "subscribe me" on one way or another. But Patreon seemed to be the only option when I started making artwork with erotic nature (colloquially: NSFW) -- I'm new on the Platform and I didn't have any success with it so far. I had 2 subscribers, 2 free members and those 2 subscribers left last month. I don't have a fan base or huge following.

I'm looking for a NSFW friendly platform just to sell digital downloads. So people can go there, pay for one time and download the artwork they like and that's it. No strings attached. So far I've tried:

- Pixiv / Fanbox: Suspended my account because it was "3D" I guess... They never able to explain properly so I'm not going back there. It's also a subs system anyway.

- DeviantArt: Requires paid (core or something) account to put the digital downloads on sale. I'm not in a position in my life to pay for a website.

- Gumroad: They don't allow "NSFW" I think.

- I'm not going to OF because too crowded & aimed a different audience than digital art fans. Same goes for Fansly I guess.

- Subscribe Star Adult: Few months ago I applied; not approved yet. May never get approved. And still subscription based.

- Buy Me A Coffee: I have this one. Some of my artwork are on sale there and keeping as an artist support page for the people who like to support my humble craft. I don't want to push it by putting erotic / horror / gore artwork of mine there.

I have to say I'm very much confused and frustrated about this whole "NSFW" thing of this "modern" era. Back in the 70's & 80's these were just ART. Also there's hypocrisy & double standards going on about it. Topless men are perfectly okay but a bare-chested woman is somehow "p*"rn" according to some people (which is whole another story and I wish I never wrote that here LOL). I've seen female characters with tank tops and short shorts shared as "NSFW" while women out there walking around with same outfit. And FYI there's NOTHING NSFW about feet 😂 Characters on my erotic artwork are ALWAYS above 20+ / 25+ I'm VERY sensitive about this subject.

Sorry for taking too long, English is not my native language and I learned it myself. As I said above; all I need is a FREE platform to allow me to put the 4k versions of my artwork on sale. One time download per purchase, no strings attached.

All suggestions and comments are welcome. Thank you for your time and have an amazing day!

Hello! I'm kinda new to Fanbox, but I've already "subbed" to one artist with a plan. Now, I really enjoy this artist's work and want to change my plan for more expensive one for the next month (since this one is almost over). But as far as I can see, I can either upgrade current plan with expensive one (will be available for current month only and need to pay again in the next one) or just upgrade it in the next one, but in that case I might forget about it :). So, are there any options just to "schedule" better plan for the next month, so I can pay it now and forget about it?

I can’t see the full artwork. Can somebody tell me how to fix this?

Looking for a way to easily upload multiple images at once. Some kind of script or post scheduler would be nice.

I keep getting notifications about recieving comments on my posts. But when I go to check them they're not there. Is anyone else having this same problem?

How the hell to pay right now? Since Visa/MC deleted their method from site, I used Otaku Shop to purchase digital coupons and that was the way to get tora coins for fantia, but today I found out, that otaku shop stopped selling tora coins... How to get tora coins?

Hi so I’m new to pixiv fanbox and wanted to support a r-18 artist but realized I don’t have any of the payment methods as I’m not from the US or Japan. So if I bought a visa prepaid card and use it,would it work?

visa no longer can be used for some reason and one of the options you have for payment is amex. if i get a amex prepaid card will it work? will the prices be marked up? i don’t wanna deal with that toracoin or whatever since i heard you lose like 30% of your money to some bullshit fees.

I am trying to venture into the nsfw illustrations of anime characters and I have a very important question for me, to grow my content and make it visible to more and more people, so far I had thought as a strategy to make illustrations with more explicit variants that would be paid content on pages like patreon or fanbox but I do not know if it is the best way to attract public, do you recommend more to make divided content for both audiences? I mean make free public illustrations to attract attention and make private paid illustrations completely different instead of making alternative versions of the first ones?

For some reason when I click on an artwork page, they never appear while I'm logged into my account. But somehow, when I'm logged out, I can view them fine.

I'm using Edge and somehow this problem is happening specifically there, whereas Chrome doesn't have this issue when I use PIXIV logged in.

i am an nsfw artist and i want to know how can i do or what do you recommend me to make people see my fanbox? i don't know much about this platform but i would like to know from people who already know it and use what they did to grow and gain followers and members, i appreciate the help you can give me.

Hello im an nsfw artist just curious...

Will you get banned if you posted it on the site and not on fanbox?

I saw a post like they started banning artists on fanbox that uses usernames that related to those words.

Im not trying to focus on that content. Just curious if I added something like that on mine. Because I also saw some artworks tagged with these content, posted publicly, and they're still active and not banned. (e.g kloah)

If I will get banned from this, maybe I'll just post it on subscribestar or any sites you can recommend aside from pixiv?

I am trying to be a nsfw artist on pixiv fanbox but I am having some irregularities and I am afraid of being banned, I know that you should not post uncensored pictures but I thought that only applied to public posts for all users, I uploaded an illustration of freminnet which falls under the 500 plan I have, but they sent me a message saying they had archived the post because it shows uncensored content on genitalia, I see many artists promoting their paid posts as uncensored versions of their public works so I don't understand. someone help me understand how to use fanbox or what am i doing wrong?

Last month I couldn't support any artist using eithr credit card or paypal. I give them an inquiry form and they told me that both options somehow are the ones that blocked me. Of course there are no problems since I can still buy stuff in BOOTH.

After waiting for any fix whatsoever for a month to no result, I tried making a brand new account and successfully support two artists using the same credit card.

I contacted pixiv again saying this instance but they sent back a copy pasted answer, same as last one.

Does anyone know why someone could get blocked from supporting an artist? And is my first account unsalvageable from the block?

As title says, I know my password, email and everything but every time I am supposed to get the 2FA code to log in it never appears. Idk what to do as I keep getting billed for active subscriptions still.

Hy i search for a Site like Pixiv where its allowed to post NSFW or 18+ Pics of Lolis. This site should have Subscription Service like Deviantart or Fanbox.

I search for it because fanbox banned AI content. Of course i understand where they come from from Banning it but of course i also find it unfair since the users can decide themselfs If they wanna pay for AI art.

Every time I try to sign up, it says "an error occured" right as I get to the last step! I'm trying to sign up on web browser btw, and it won't tell me what I'm doing wrong! I've tried changing the password slightly, using a different email, so on! Nothings working, I keep getting that error every time! What do I do?!
