My ASCII slungus and ASCII axolotl got removed by moderators from art portal, but i struggle to figure out what rule i broke.
You see, it's literally just ASCII art, made by me, with timelapse proof that i even linked.. There was even a signature left by me in the corner....
Now trying to visit either link will just bring you to this page
I've googled and stumbled upon a forum where people say to read the rules, but i did!!!!
My art wasn't AI generated and i seriously doubt that you can even AI-generate ASCII art anyway??
My art was MINE and there was proof with timelapse linked on my bluesky, which itself is linked on my profile AND on my bluesky profile.
My art was just of a bunny and an axolotl, so it was labelled E for Everyone.
My art wasn't just photography, because i made the art myself. I doubt that traditional artists would get their art removed?
No thirdparty assets, unless english alphabet and ASCII characters have gotten copyrighted without me noticing.
I didn't promote anything either. I left a link to my bluesky post but that's because i needed to link the timelapse as a VIDEO..
Maybe i should've emailed the support with this, but i'm still waiting on another response from them and honestly with the way the removal was handled (no warning, no mention of any broken rules), i'm inclined to believe that i'd just get a generic "you broke some rule, read the rules again" response.
Overall i'm very confused and sad. I just got to the art portal and now i feel like i'm already getting kicked out without even an explanation. Yes i checked the email.
I don't know what to do from here. I guess newgrounds isn't as safe space as i thought at first.
