What are Items Requiring Revision?

"Items Requiring Revision" are items, including images and data, which are prohibited under the Terms of Use, Article 14, Item 28, No. 4, and which are deemed by pixiv to be in possible violation of laws, ordinances, public order and decency, and pixiv's Terms of Use.
