Sorry for two new pinned posts within the span of 24 hours. after coming back I figured some of the rules needed some updating, and it is policy to put any rule change up to vote for the members.
The two changes I currently would like to make, is increased enforcement of the moldy posting rule, and a new rule banning AI generated content.
moldy posting is when you post a meme that you would find on your aunt’s Facebook page or Elon musk’s Twitter account. I’m talking properly old, moldy, watermarked, painfully irrelevant posts. I think we should remove them simply because they kind of suck, and removing them would raise the level of quality of 196.
I believe we should ban AI generated content because it is exploitative by nature, and I don’t think we should be feeding it.
please discuss in the comments, and vote on whether or not you think these changes should be made. vote on each change separately. if there are any other rule changes that you would like to suggest, now is the time.
I don’t like the idea of increasing enforcement against moldy posts, just because I’m not super plugged in to things and I don’t always know if something is moldy when I post it. Over enforcement of those kind of subjective rules tends to make it difficult for newbies to post.
Completely on board with a no AI art rule though. Fuck AI.
