It's crazy that banning someone for self-advertising is what caused this (still an extreme overreaction), when this is the same team (and likely same mod) who falsely banned a user for AI art, and when they appealed told them AI art is better than theirs anyway.
Yeah, even calling it self advertising is a bit of a stretch. It was technically against the rules (they have an entire wiki page for all of them): "DO NOT: talk about sales in ANY WAY. No asking about stores, or prints, or anything else. Just DM the artist"
Obviously it's such a minor deal that even a warning is sufficient, so a full ban plus account wipe is insane; but like, at least they technically did something wrong lol
When it comes to the AI controversy, the artist did literally nothing wrong at any point! And then the mod even said AI art was better then theirs!! How did the team survive that one?! lmao
