I'm here to express my deep indignation at Civitai's moderation decision. I dedicated more than a whole week creating this Megatherium/Eremotherium LoRA — one of my favorite prehistoric animals — and, in less than half an hour, the model was removed with the vague justification of "the model is not valid". Everyone who follows me knows that, whenever I release a model, I include test images (including low-quality ones to give an idea of what the model will be like) and I put a "testing phase" image. I don't understand the exact reason for the removal: whether it was because of the word "testing" in the title, because it took a while to add "official" images, or for some other random criterion. What I do know is that it was an unfair and hasty decision.
As soon as the model returns (or if I need to resubmit it), I earnestly ask that you like the generated images — a good part of my reach and buzz comes from there, since few people use my LoRAs besides myself.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart to everyone who has signed up, supports the project, and continues to follow along.
You make a difference!
