The combined situation

NovelAI is a paid image generation service that originated as a text generation platform. The image generator supports explicit output and was an early target of leaked model weight redistribution. When NovelAI output appears on Discord, removal proceeds through the statutory takedown process under 47 USC 223a combined with source attribution to strengthen the legal claim.

Why this combination is high risk

The 2022 NovelAI weight leak created a long tail of derivative models that continue to produce explicit content using the original training characteristics. On Discord specifically, discord servers can host private ncii trading communities behind invite walls. server bots can mass post images across channels, and image links survive even when messages are deleted because of cdn caching.

How removal proceeds

Discord accepts NCII reports through its Trust and Safety form and through its DMCA agent. Server level reports are processed faster than direct message reports. Source attribution to NovelAI is documented through novelai uses a custom finetuned model with a recognizable rendering style, which strengthens the takedown notice and supports parallel legal action.
