Civitai user banned for using site-hosted prompts, claims support ignored

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A user on Reddit's r/StableDiffusion subreddit detailed a frustrating experience with Civitai, an AI image generation platform. The user claims their account was restricted for using prompts copied directly from images hosted on Civitai's own site.
