[QUOTE="Morrus, post: 8635680, member: 1"] As reported by one of our designers, a link to the official A5E.tools site was flagged by a bot for "piracy". [ATTACH type="full" alt="red.png"]157170[/ATTACH] "Distributing non-SRD content for free" is an odd prohibition; every site on the internet distributes non-SRD content for free. That very subreddit is full of content that isn't in the SRD. Our content, of course, is not in WotC's SRD because it's our content. It is, however, in [I]our[/I] SRD. Since it was just a bot, the designer in question did follow up with the subreddit's moderation team, but unfortunately they doubled down and refused to unblock it.
