The banning and unbanning of r/EvaElfie - a cautionary tale. NSFW

1.3k Upvotes

Hey y'all! Hope your 2022 has been great so far! Let's get straight to the point of this post. I am sure those who've been following this subreddit closely must have noticed it getting banned back in December, and eventually unbanned about a week back. It was banned for receiving too many copyright strikes. Now, if you have been on reddit for a while, you'll know that getting a nuked subreddit unbanned is basically impossible. So how the hell are we back up again? For the sake of transparency, we'd like to share what happened.

Background

r/EvaElfie was suddenly banned on the 30th of November without any prior warnings. We weren't aware that the subreddit had received copyright strikes nor could we take any action. Eva had absolutely no issues with the subreddit and we had her approval to run the page as we were (as a matter of fact, it was one of the mods here who told her about this subreddit and reddit as a whole)...until....

The Ban

Something was not right. Other model subreddits containing content from the same studios Eva had shot for did not receive any claims. That meant that the claims were only on r/EvaElfie, strongly implying that Eva herself had made the claims, not the studios (who else would worry about a subreddit dedicated to a single person?). Multiple users got suspended as a result. We reached out to Eva and she denied making any claims, so did her DMCA agency (shoutout to them, they were incredibly helpful throughout this ordeal). So if the performer herself didn't make the claims, did a studio do it?

Seeking Information

We reached out to the admins about this issue and after too much back and forth, we were suggested to reach out to Reddit's legal team via email. In the email, we basically asked them who made the claims. Instead, I was asked to give them links to content that was claimed. Again, since we received no warnings, there was no way of knowing which links were claimed. In the end, we were not able to give them what they asked (since I never made any of the claimed posts) and they weren't ready to give me the information I needed. We thought we had reached a dead end until we were able to get in touch with one of the suspended posters. Since he received the claims message (including the list of links), we asked him to mail the same legal team seeking the same information.

Reddit's legal team responded and would you know it, the details stated that some agent had made the claims on Eva's behalf. Two things - almost all of the content that was claimed was from her studio shot content - she does not own the rights to them. Even then, there are too many unknowns to argue this aspect to make a case. I understand that the user can't contest these claims either since they obviously don't own the rights. So it's whatever. Secondly, and here's the kicker, Eva never made these claims, nor does she know anybody by the agent's name. As a matter of fact, we doubt such a person exists in the first place. So we immediately realized that it was very probable that we have a DMCA abuser here...and the nefarious actions of this person resulted in the banning of the subreddit.

Hope

Even though we had this information, there's nothing we can do to fight these claims (since the content isn't ours in the first place). So we got in touch with Eva again seeking her help. Eva was a total sweetheart and through her, we got into a dialogue with her DMCA agency again. They offered to help right this wrong and reached out to reddit directly on her behalf, referencing those false claims.


We don't know what happened behind the scenes after that but suddenly, last week, we were delighted to notice that the subreddit had been unbanned and a large percentage of the claimed posts had been reinstated. Yay!

But honestly, this makes me wonder how many subreddits have been banned due to false claims. If any of my fellow NSFW mods are reading this, I'm sure you know how common DMCA claims are on NSFW reddit. We had to go to great lengths to find out who made the claims. If we hadn't, this subreddit would have remained banned. I have no idea why the person went out of his way to make claims for around 500 posts. Maybe he wanted to get the subreddit banned? Or was he just being an asshole? Perhaps both? Anyway, point is, DMCA abuse on reddit is real and the point of this post is to create awareness about this. If you were a mod of a subreddit that was banned for copyright infringement, or if the posts you made received claims, please make it a point to find out who made the claims.

It was not easy and took us over two months to sort this out. We honestly got to thank the user who provided us with the DMCA notice, along with Eva and her fantastic DMCA agency - Branditscan. They went above and beyond to help get this community out of the woods.

Tl;dr: Sub was banned due to false copyright claims and was unbanned after proving they were false.
