Vgen as a concept was an amazing idea, sadly they are failing to apply it and keep ignoring the issue with Broker accounts expliting young artists, forcing minors to work in nsfw, and filling the frontpage with AI slop.
@_VGen_ do better, ban Broker accounts and use that sweet fee money you get from every artist to expand your staff

Update regarding community safety on VGen

UNETHICAL BROKERS:
Happy to say we’ve identified many previously unconfirmed JRUhub brokers, affiliates, and other unethical group accounts and they have all been banned for misrepresenting the nature of their profiles and services, intentionally inviting bad actors, and ban evading.

Big thank you to everyone in our community who has helped to investigate, report on-site, and provide detailed proof that our team were then able to review and take action on. Thank you for helping us keep the community safe!

REMAINING BROKERS:
In the short term, broker discovery has been rebalanced, their withheld funds processed through VGen Payments may not be released until after a commission is complete, and all brokers will continue to not have any invite codes. If any broker accounts mistype themselves as an individual or studio, they will now be suspended for at least 1 month immediately upon discovery.

We are still evaluating whether additional long-term actions are required.

Please do not assume all brokers are bad. However, if you do see suspicious behaviour, please continue to report them on-site and we will investigate.

ARTIST INVITE CODES:
There is now a hard limit of 2 unused artist invite codes per Verified Artist at any given time. If you earn more through a challenge or special event drop and you already have 2 in your dashboard, you won’t receive any more.

ARTIST CODE GIVEAWAYS:
Effective Nov 1, 2026, general contests, raffles, or applications are no longer allowed, even if recipients are screened. This is due to the increasing sophistication of groups who fraudulently misrepresent themselves as individuals.

If you see someone hosting a raffle or are in violation of our Artist Code Policy in any way, please report them on-site with a screenshot or link to their violating post and we’ll investigate. Their first offence will result in a warning before more severe administrative actions may be taken for repeated offences, including losing verification status and suspensions.

@BirdsEyeViewVt @darchibuns It’s worse on Etsy, but I think they want come across as cute uwu anime characters. Because it makes people trust them / like them more. It’s all about being approachable

[DavidDocument @DDocument7455]

@Ragelynfyre It’s a shocking revelation people need time to process it. Some really don’t want to accept it as the customer service by JRU is typically good.

Give people benefit of the doubt even if it’s frustrating.

[DavidDocument @DDocument7455]

@LunaryBunBun Not very specific 😅I can probably identify if they were falsely or not but from what I have seen none so far have been.

It’s up to you ultimately. The most important thing is not allowing the accounts to continue misleading people via the ban

[DavidDocument @DDocument7455]

@RunaNocturne Exactly people were awfully tricked by JRU

[DavidDocument @DDocument7455]

@LunaryBunBun @sonomirenkirin A lot of the accounts are lying, / making up stories to not associate themselves with JRU (for obvious reasons) admitting it would give them no chance to comeback

[DavidDocument @DDocument7455]

@LunaryBunBun @sonomirenkirin Which ones? There is evidence for all of them yusei in particular is a big JRU entity. Source from an ex member

You can see if you are eligible for a refund.

Other than that you can keep using it if you wish to, you can uncredit them since the real artists is unknown

I have heard though that these accounts use a ai software to create the initial base of music

DETAILS RE: UNETHICAL BROKERS
After a thorough review of our moderation processes, we have discovered a bug in our reporting system that's been grouping new reports with old watchlist items instead of surfacing them to the moderation queue.

This means that while we were already actively banning unethical brokers and our community have been reporting them to us, we often never saw the proof that we needed to tie all these pseudonym accounts together - effectively allowing them to ban evade.

While it is really unfortunate that this bug has hindered our ability to moderate effectively for a while, the good news is that those reports are not lost. We have resurfaced the missing reports and are going through the backlog to take swift action against the bad actors and their affiliates.

Of our 200,000+ artists, we have identified ~300 associated accounts so far who we have now removed from the site. We have strong conviction in the actions that we have taken on all these accounts. From misrepresenting the nature of their account and services (ie pretending to be individuals when they’re a group, presenting a service as custom when it reuses a base), to ban evading and intentionally inviting bad actors, these are not the people VGen was built to support or advocate for, and for breaking our ToS, they have all been removed.

Although most commissions will not be eligible for refunds since the majority of these accounts were suspended due to ToS violations and association with bad actors and not explicitly fraudulent commission activity, if you paid via VGen Payments and have not yet released the withheld funds or you paid via PayPal and your payment is within the Buyer Protection Period, you may create a ticket to ask for a refund or one-time payment dispute approval.

However, if you paid via VGen Payments and have already released the funds or you paid via PayPal and your payment has passed its Buyer Protection Period, we will unfortunately not be able to recoup those funds and for that we are very sorry.

@EvieFoxling_VT JRU offer good customer support that’s not in question. However the artists behind them aren’t paid much, rushed often. AI tracing sometimes happens, they misrepresent the nature of their acccount etc

[DavidDocument @DDocument7455]

@EvieFoxling_VT @JozuanJ @ArtemasSlumber @NamiyaPofumi Jru brokers pretend to be your friend and naturally as they are Indonesian their English isn’t perfect and they rely on translation tools for marketing.

You are describing them to the tee.
Affordable
Nice
It’s all an act sadly to be approachable and gain commissions

[DavidDocument @DDocument7455]

@EvieFoxling_VT @Burgirl_Stall https://t.co/5WDBk5R885

@IzumiAppletwist The music brokers have been eliminated so you will be fine hopefully

[DavidDocument @DDocument7455]

@IzumiAppletwist You can keep or replace it you paid for but I wouldn’t credit the artist since well the actual artists is unknown

[DavidDocument @DDocument7455]

@xJeevy @RaeliaLaubwind Yes they must prove they aren’t affiliated. To vgen themselves
