This sounds similar to other reports I’ve seen. Recently, another user mentioned on the forum that their Astrology-themed GPT was banned, while another very similar GPT remained active without issues. They were left wondering what caused their GPT to be taken down. Let me find the post.
Here it is: How should I restore my GPTs
I suspect this could be a case of creators flagging competitors. Unfortunately, this happens on other platforms too. For example, it has been an issue on YouTube for a while, where creators flagged competitors’ videos. The community spoke up, and things have improved, but it took time. There are similar stories from Etsy, where sellers offering AI-generated art have had their shops taken down after being copied and flagged by copycats.
The problem is that it becomes a “one person’s word against another’s” situation.
It’s important that this issue gets addressed before it worsens. If left unchecked, it could create an environment where those with fewer scruples take control, and that not only leaves honest creators at a disadvantage - it might discourage users from creating new custom GPTs out of worry they will get banned or copied.
