Mockup for proposed superior implementation of credit card mandated model hiding

Due to the demands of credit card companies, Civitai has been forced to hide many pictures on the site from most users. While I don't know the exact wording of the issued demands, it seems Civitai's particular implementation of them is a very substandard implementation.

My proposal: While users are told they can't see content in a gallery because their ratings are set too low, getting a "blank card" with text telling them of this fact in the gallery, they aren't told at all when they can't see a resource because their settings are too high, effectively hiding the existence of this forbidden content from most users. Since everything I've heard on the requirement has been about pictures of minors appearing on the same page as higher rated content, why not just hide the image alone while maintaining link to a page that, by current systems, is already sanitary? The result would look something like this mockup.

(right click+view image to see fullsize. Don't know why this is shrunk without expanding to full size when clicked)

If a resource with a blank card is clicked on, the user would go to the model page which is already unable to have any indecent images on it. This way users would know they're missing some types of content, and resource creators would no longer have their works hidden to large chunks of the userbase.

Edit (October 12 2026): Big updates to reflect site changes since.

Original had a reference to the now deceased site feature request forum in "have already proposed on the site's feedback center (please go and vote for it)" and the then current way model pages were hidden, even if you landed on them.
