I sort of leave FA?

I don't COMPLETELY leave FA, it's just...
A few days ago, FA deleted 3 of my submissions and warned me AFTER.
Reason they did it? They judged the backgrounds were AI-generated (which goes against the rules).
The thing is, these backgrounds were NOT AI-generated! The artist just took photos for the backgrounds and applied a filter on them!
I tried to contest this decision, but their answer was that unless I could show the original photos (which I can't, since it were commissions and they were made back in 2020, so the artist, who took them himself, doesn't have them anymore), then they were used without permission and still worthy of deletion.
If they're gonna act like that, then sorry, but FA won't be my main site anymore.
I'll still lurk here, post pics sometimes, but it's no longer my main haunt, where I post everything and write my stories.
From now on, my main haunts will be on BlueSky and Weasyl:

Also, I'm gonna remove other pics using the same "filtered photos" backgrounds, not wanting to tempt fate.
See you there for the main content, see you still here for stuff, and thank you all ^^

With how violently they acted without a warning, my trust in this site took a big blow
Granted the pic kinda looks like something AI would do.......
Like I said, I told them all that, they replied that without the original photos, they wouldn't go back on their decision
No use trying to argue...
And again, I don't fully leave FA, it just won't be my main anymore
im gonna try to stay on FA but they die on some strange hills on this site
And I got the "incorrectly flagged" thing too sometimes
