So, my gallery was expunged because it didn't have a cover. Even though for the last 2 years no one had a single problem with that missing cover? I even had it, in the comments, if people had problems with the non-existent cover, I'll copy and paste it from the website, no message whatsoever. Moreover, the gallery doesn't even come with a title page (When bought). This seems like straight up farming. How do I know that this person didn't literally download my gallery, re-upload it with a cover. I know we're all pirates here, but this just feels kinda shitty. Just my two cents, I'll accept the damn expunged, but this makes me salty.
The literal covers come from pixiv and dlsite, so it could be highly likely this person just copied my gallery, but whatever, I'll be the fool today.
Looking at the expunged reason, this is silly as all hell, the cover doesn't exist in the actual files when bought, this is a dupe, but whatever. If someone PM'd me, I would have been more than happy to reupload mine, but for someone else to do it, that's a bit of a low blow to be honest. I know I'm being a salty uploader of piracy, but man it still got some feelings there.
Edit: So having some thought. Rules are rules and that doesn't make this post "against the rules" Read some more of my thoughts on my recent reupload. Honestly, I'm more annoyed that I didn't get a PM and told "hey, I'm/we're going to reupload your thing with a cover page if you are not in ____ amount of time." I know the "first come, first serve" rule, I know I should have just done my due diligence and uploaded the garbage quality cover in the first place. At this point, it is what it is and I have to accept that.
