Pixiv Account Was Deactivated
🕑 Added 2025-09-02 07:29:42 +0000 UTCSo, yet another problem has popped up, pixiv decided to smack down my account for links or mention other sites or something, without telling me in what way or which posts were offending. But having looked it up, seems like despite being told the contrary and multiple sources saying so, patreon links are just not allowed? So, pixiv is a dead site for any kind of audience pull and just a gallery where I shove stuff I guess? COOL.
So I have to go edit every single post I have ever made on pixiv, patreon related or not and delete every single link or mention of my patreon and while I'm at it just remove DA links and direct mentions as well because they literally don't tell me what posts even broke the rules. And if I didn't guess correctly it'll likely just end with the pixiv account being forever locked or outright deleted when reinstated and then instant hit again.
Like, I'm D-Tier artist with nothing worth while and not even posting stuff that would be considered blatantly offensive with nudity and sex and all those other unmentionable stuff that gets a pass. I even completely moved focus on improving drawing in the last year so it wasn't just messy scribbles and and even started to get into coloring which I thought was at least getting slightly better. There are posts on the main page of pixiv advertising patreons of other people in full view as well, so I have to wonder why is this even happening.
UGH. FFS.
Exclusive will be delayed till later in the day, I had some done but not enough to share yet. I don't want to rush it and make something bad just because of this. Sorry about that.
EDIT: All the edits are done and pretty much right after making the request to get it reinstated the pixiv account came back up, with a warning that it's basically got no second chance. So there's that at least.

I'm sorry to hear that. All these sites have become just so customer unfriendly in the last years. I don't know why. Feels like every company succumbs to greed recently.

I managed to get it back fairly quickly, but that was still like two hours of editing 300 things and even outright deleting anything that was patreon specific on pixiv. Like, ALL the patreon announcements are just gone now on there. So pixiv went from the most friendly to actively hostile to me in a single night with no explanation at all. And posting things to it is now completely without benefit because I can't tell anyone on there about my patreon.
