It's frustrating when changes to rules or policies, like the one you mentioned on Anilist about AI-generated images, happen after you've invested time and effort into a platform. The situation you faced with MyAnimeList (MAL) banning you for using a VPN also seems harsh, particularly if you were using the VPN for legitimate reasons like privacy.
Anilist dictator specifically made that rule because of his personal hatred of AI.. It has nothing to do with anything else..
I got banned by Mal bot because I was using VPN and the mods didn't unban me because the whole of Mal community was on my side in a fight with the mods previously because how they were not allowing debates and passionate discussions on forums like before the company was purchased by MEDIADO..
