Vrc is suspending people with NSFW avatars uploaded to their accounts

[lodash_fun1]

someone just reported you or NSFW content, VRChat will only take action when someone reports you.
I have also been suspended but only one time when I accidentally uploaded a NSFW as public which caused it to get reported and my account being suspended for a week.

If it's not someone random public, it can be your friends you might have reported you for whatever reason they might have against you. People can be really petty about various things you never know to be honest. I would say there's a very high chance that someone you might know have reported you or your avatar/account for it.

Here are some tips for in the future if vrc are cracking down on nsfw

1- Know the instance you’re in. Anything public DOES NOT allow ANY type of NSFW, INCLUDING 18+ instances. If it can be found on the server list for the world, do not wear NSFW. Stick with private instances, like group privates(that allow that of course) to do nsfw. Just because it’s 18+ verified does not mean you can do NSFW.

2- Always have a sfw avatar in your favorites- If you’re anything like me and you like to play in worlds like a simple fishing world or giga, have a completely sfw avatar in your favorites, no nsfw toggles, no nsfw textures, nada, nothing, hell it’s even better if you can find an avatar that has its mesh cut where the nsfw bits would be at! I’d recommend you upload your own avi so you know what it looks like behind the scenes on both pc and quest and so you’re not guessing on weither not a quest user can see your dih or not

3- Know who you hang out with. If you are feeling comfy and you do change into your nsfw avi, just be careful, there are some people who genuinely believe that vrc is meant for kids, now am I going to sit here and say that it kids shouldn’t be on the site at all? No, I’m not, but that’s another story for another time. Be careful who you’re hanging around with, there are some people who genuinely believe NO nsfw should be on vrc, despite nsfw avi creators and what not being the backbone of this site.

That’s all from me for now. I haven’t been banned before(But I’ve only been playing since December of 2024 so and although I wear avatars with NSFW, the lowest I’ll go is a bikini) these tips kind of have kept me a float for as long as I could!

I do upload avis so, maybe it would be a good idea to upload a sfw avatar, also I only ever hang around my closest friends and barely ever step into publics ever Thank you for the tips though! :3

Hey I just made on a post on this, but its possible you got banned because some of your avatars contain "nudity under clothing." This is a new guideline for vrc about what avatars are considered nsfw. Even if you arent doing anything nsfw, or your avatar isnt nsfw presenting, if it contains adult bits and bobs under clothing and has the ability for those to be shown you can be hit with a ban/suspension. Hope this helps and stay mindful when uploading new avatars.

@EmperorMango

I just want to make sure its clear that vrc only allows nsfw on PRIVATE avatars in PRIVATE instances.

If your avatar was public it can get reported and delted and you get temp'd/banned.
this iis how it has been since the start and many of my friends have experinced this.

I keep forgetting there's people actually stupid enough to erp in publics
lmfao couldn't be me

[EmpressMango]

@RoxxiFoxxi Just to be clear I didn’t do that, I know it’s been a FUCKING WHILE since anyone has typed in this but that’s not the reason I got banned for a week. Apparently one of my friends invited their friend to mine and my gfs instance, and they saw our Avis and instead of asking us to switch, just flat out spam reported us. And since I uploaded the Avis for me and my gfs I was the one that got the ban and not her. I NEVER AND WILL NEVER, do anything like that in a public instance

@EmpressMango oof i got hit with a ban for public avis lol learned my lesson. only upload to people's accounts. things are worse now that they use a bot to "scan" ur account for NSFW
