Hello World,
we’ve just updated our tooling that scans uploaded images for illegal content.
We don’t expect this to cause any issues. If you do experience any issues with uploads or media in general please let us know.
This will hopefully improve the current situation where sometimes previews, thumbnails or entire images have gone missing after they were posted.
Uploads will now be scanned at the time they are created, which should result in immediate feedback when uploads are rejected.
Does it say “failed external validation” when it thinks it’s illegal? I tried re-uploading a community logo which is a crop of a frame from an anime but it quickly flashed such an error in the corner of the screen. Is anything copyrighted illegal? I have had some images not shown up for a long while, didn’t know this could be it.
The picture for reference:
