That's the problem. It's harming the project. Please address it
directly.
Thanks.
The problem seems to be about bots that make decisions that should be made by humans.
I wouldn't blame the bots - I'd blame the humans. If an admin is too silly to see that an image is only considered non-compliant because of some technicality, if an admin is too trigger-happy with the delete button and takes the bot's word at face value, the problem lies on the part of the admins. Bots don't delete images, admins delete images. (I wonder if we'll now see gun control arguments applied since I've brought out the "guns don't kill people, people kill people" line.)
