[Suggestion] Reaffirming the Importance of Gallery Image Removal Requests

As moderators, we must have the ability to remove gallery posts. This isn’t just a convenience — it’s a basic, essential function.

Recently, we faced a conflict where a troll or spammer using a VPN overlapped with a legitimate user. To let the good user access, we were forced to unban IPs that had previously been flagged for CP / scat / bestiality.

Without the ability to delete gallery posts, we remain completely powerless as mods in situations like this. At minimum, post removal would give us a way to take action and uphold standards when IP bans cannot.

As I understand it (please, correct me if I'm wrong), aren't gallery posts global? From what little I know, a named gallery (default is "public") can be any name. That name becomes the identifier for that gallery. This means that anyone may use that same name and access that gallery from their own generator. If they're public like that, how would this removal power work. Since you would affectively have the right to remove gallery images that don't actually belong to the generator?
