Heyuri isn't a site where we ban users for posting things they weren't aware were ban-worthy (if it's clear they had no bad intentions, they'll get a warning or a deleted post at most) or posting things that are only considered ban-worthy by some "imageboard veteran" n00b carrying expectations they developed on a different website

It's been stated a million times - and perhaps kaguya should update the rules page to clarify this once and for all - but Rule 8 is not a "ban all new things" nor a "ban all n00bz" rule. Rule 8 is there to keep out the kinds of crappy imageboard users who post pepe/wojak images between every breath, and trolls who are intentionally making shitty/hostile posts to piss off regular users or lower their enjoyment of the site. It's there to make Heyuri a more fun and interesting place to be than other sites of this kind - not a more snobbish or antagonistic one

Regular contributors to the site - especially those who have posted OC - do in fact receive preferential treatment over random anonymous users who complain and/or troll. The reality is that Heyuri's small-but-loud demographic of self-appointed gatekeepers are more frequently guilty of breaking the actual Rule 8 than the users they complain about
