Appeal submission continues to fail.

It's now been 20+ days with no response to multiple appeals to correct this wrongly labeled image. Now the @moderation.bsky.app process has stopped working completely. I hope @support.bsky.team can correct this error on @bsky.app soon. Same problem with the incorrect label added recently to my page.

For #BlueSkyArtShow - #Inside the grotto entrance.

For #BlueSkyArtShow - #Inside the greenhouse.

For #BlueSkyArtShow - #Inside the greenhouse.

So it seems that @moderation.bsky.app & @bsky.app has corrected one of my incorrectly labeled images (after 15 days) but not the other one. But they seem to have retaliated by adding an incorrect 'Adult Content' label to my whole page, it wasn't there yesterday. @support.bsky.team please fix this!

Perhaps if everyone replied to every incorrect one of their own posts, and tagged @bsky.app @moderation.bsky.app and @support.bsky.team, they will start to respond to appeals, or at least mark images correctly in the first place by FIXING THE AI PROCESS!

When Bluesky's @bsky.app automated AI system mis-labels art nude images as 'Adult Content (Explicit sexual images)', @moderation.bsky.app allows appeals for them to be marked as 'Non-sexual Nudity'. These used to be responded to in a day or 2. It's been over 2 weeks, and still no response. FIX IT!

Jewelry chains drape across the chest, contrasting with the rigid vertical and horizontal bars of the chair. The lighting is soft and directional, highlighting the contours of the body and chair. The image emphasizes balance between concealment and revelation. ••• Title: Framed Form Story: Caught between exposure and concealment, each bar divides the figure yet also defines it, turning the body into geometry. Draped chains shimmer like fragile armor, revealing both strength and vulnerability. The frame does not confine but instead unveils, becoming at once subject and structure, presence and shadow.

I feel your pain. It usually takes 2 or 3 appeals to get them to act; I'm stubborn, and have appealed as many as 7-9 times over the course of a week to finally get them to remove an incorrect label. I just keep annoying them till they so it.

The lighting is soft yet directional, emphasizing the contours and musculature of his body while casting subtle shadows.

The soft, directional lighting emphasizes his symmetrical stance and muscular form with subtle shadows. The image conveys a very high level of refinement and quiet strength. ••• Title: Inherent Authenticity - Before the Start Story: He stands steady and composed, awaiting the start yet already embodying quiet strength. There is no performance here, no gesture to please, no movement to impress — only the honest presence of a body at rest, fully itself. This image reminds us that the most authentic moments happen without intention, when we simply exist as we are, calm, whole, and quietly powerful.

<< click for more >> A nude male figure stands under dramatic, fractured lighting that casts sharp black-and-white checkered patterns across his body, emphasizing his muscular form and introspective pose. The high-contrast light and shadow create a striking, contemplative visual. ••• Title: Patterns of Strength Story: Beneath the soft, fractured light, he stands resolute. The shifting black and white shadows wrap around his form like silent doubts, the universe quietly asking who he really is. He leans inward, feeling the rhythm of his breath and the strength of his spirit within. Each curve, each line becomes a reminder that even in doubt and broken light, beauty endures — whole, imperfect, and infinite.

The lighting is soft yet directional, emphasizing the contours of her form.

With the quiet power of her thoughts, the shifting shapes became more than light — a bridge to unseen realms, a fleeting glimpse of luminous geometry.

With a thoughtful gaze, she became more than just a figure — she revealed a quiet power that needed no words, calm and unshaken. In the stillness of the studio, she embodied what it means to be both delicate and strong: a portrait of soft strength.
