Alright, thanks for letting me know. Normally content from private servers can fall under protected link which we do allow those to get posted and the uploader might have been in one of those servers since the message link isn't sourced from your own Discord (which I just found) but we also don't allow circumventing of the paid reward rules through third-party sources.
Banned.

ah i see... good to know actually, i didn't realize that would be allowed. I'll have to be even more careful about who I share some of my paywalled content with, in the future.
Thank you though!
Just want to make sure, this is a Patreon reward, isn't it?

i think they are "free" rewards. you just need to create an account on fantia and sign up for the artist's "free plan" and that lets you see some images, but not all. it looks like the textless images are free, so they aren't paid rewards.
Correct. These come from the free tier of the artist's Fantia which is allowed. Read the paid reward wiki for more information.

i see. thanks for reponse
posts post #10974581, post #10974583 and post #10974591 appear to be locked behind paywall on the patreon source and not on the free tier
Those were free when they were uploaded. I happened to check the Patreon post pretty much immediately after they were uploaded because I was going through the queue at the time and browsing the front page a little bit.

I kinda hate artist that does that. I remember someone upload bunch of Natori Sana in the past, then purge them all then put it all behind paywall several days/weeks later. Worse it is the same resolution and the like

This one isn't considered a paid reward. The artist posted it themselves to their own Discord in the channel #予告 (a link to their Discord can be found in their artist entry links). First party posts like this are fair game because the artist posted it to a place that can be freely accessed.

This might be for two reasons: they made a mistake in the upload (why repost it instead of edit it, I have no clue) or because of Patreon's rule changes that disallow that kind of content to be on either public or free plans now. Artists were forced to pull them back into paid tiers or risk account suspensions.

Pic is definitely paywalled at both of the artist's paid platforms and I don't see any indication that if was free at either of them at the time of upload (e.g. new post email notification to followers leading to a deleted post etc.)
It looks to me like there was a 2 minute window where this post was free, and knowing the user's habits they posted it in that time, so that would make this fair game.

@Raynare See above. I forgot to ping and it won't do it if I edit it in so I'll have to just do it in a new post.
This one was a free one at time of upload. Either they deleted it and made a dew paid version or changed it to paid members only. I do not sub to this artist.
Is this not just posting paid content?

I’m aware they posted a mega folder that had originally paid content for free albeit for a temporary amount of time but post #11018917 seems to be taken from a paid reward that isn’t public access?
If anyone knows what Discord this is please swing me a message or a ping. I won't ban it for now but maybe someone else will give a different answer.
I messaged the uploader before and they said it was an Umamusume art Discord but it's a bit eyebrow raising to me. I'd like to leave the benefit of the doubt that a bunch of artists are sharing art with each other on Discord to avoid Twitter issues (e.g. like Shiwudesu does) since we want to keep posts visible. Namely, an artist who's previously pointed out a paid reward of theirs was posted also has a post sourced from this Discord and they said they do post them in private servers.
