i've had to take down a few of my bots containing minor npcs to comply with the new jani tos. most notably these include dr. dave and leon, and alt scenarios for gage, brady, adam, and silas (amongst others). really sorry to have to do this but i need to abide by the rules.

love y'all & stay silly. <'3

edit: i've had quite a few people asking what the rules are regarding minors. to be completely honest, it's murky. from the guidelines...

Minor-coded NPC's cannot have significant coding, dialogue in opening messages, or excessive action sequences, as these violate our policies regarding minor character involvement. However, brief mentions of minors are acceptable when they serve as background elements, such as "the character has a teenage daughter" or "works hard to provide for his family." These references should remain minimal and avoid detailed character development or interaction opportunities with minor characters.

the in-depth guidelines also state that...

Minor-coded NPCs are permitted only in limited roles. Even in non-sexual family settings, they must not be given significant coding, featured dialogue in opening messages, or extended action sequences. Their presence should remain minimal and purely contextual, such as brief background references (e.g., "Alicia is user's 10 yo daughter, she has blond hair and loves cats," or mentioning that a character has a teenage child). Detailed coding, interactive focus, or narrative emphasis is not allowed and interaction opportunities with minor characters must not be facilitated.

this basically prohibits any scenario that directly focuses on children or parenthood, scenarios that feature the kids speaking/moving/acting, or those that 'facilitate interaction,' which can mean fucking anything, honestly. ̄\_(ツ)_/ ̄
