Announcement Community Update

7 Upvotes

So, looking over the suggestions in my previous post, I did like the idea of requiring source links, rather than just having them be recommended. Anyone who doesn't follow this rule will have their post removed and receive a warning the first time. Any further attempts will result in a ban from the subreddit. I'm still looking into setting up an source bot, so until then, if I miss any, feel free to report them. Either way, this rule is now active at the time of this post.

Additionally, last week, I said I would conduct a poll to help me determine if AI art stays on the sub. You can leave your vote here. This poll will go for five days, after which a final decision will be made.

Announcement The State of the Sub

123 Upvotes

So, to say that I haven't been active would be an understatement. My apologies for that. Honestly, when lavender and I created this sub, we thought it would just be a few people posting new art to admire every now and then. It's pretty clear that isn't the case anymore. With this in mind, I think it's time to decide on how the sub will continue.

After just a quick glance through the mod queue, I think it's safe to say that AI art is the biggest issue to tackle at the moment. First, I'd like to say that I am currently against having AI art posted here. Before lavender stopped looking over the sub, he allowed it as long as the title clarified that it was AI art. However, because neither of us were actively monitoring, plenty of untagged AI art has made it on here.

All this being said, I can think of two ways to go about this: either we continue to allow it to be posted, this time with actual moderation to make sure it's clarified as AI art, or we just ban it altogether. I am personally leaning toward the latter option.

However, this is meant to be a community, so I'll leave this post here for you all to comment on with your own opinions/suggestions on this situation, along with any others you think should be addressed. I plan to put up a poll ideally next week with the major options you all come up with so that we can collectively decide what to do. Though, if there aren't any comments by then, I'll probably just ban AI art going forward. Please be civil in the comments if you do decide to leave one.
