I know I have not made a public bot in a long time and that this is probably a huge suprise to the very little followers that I do have.

But this is something I must speak out on. (I am not the only one, as far as I am aware, Sextoilet, silverscarf and Fire Warrior also made announcements similar to this, check them out as well.) Also. Since I could possibly get banned due to how many related bots I have. I have made all the defenitions for my bots visible. COPY THEM AND MAKE YOUR OWN PRIVATE COPPIES IN CASE I GET BANNED SO YOU CAN STILL CHAT WITH THOSE BOTS! YOU HAVE FULL PERMISSION TO COPY MY BOTS, MAKE YOUR OWN VERSIONS AND ALTER THEM!

This is an ADULT website. Many people come here to make bots or and engage with bots that cater to their fetishes. This, of course, includes , inflation, inflation etc etc. And this ban will alienate a lot of people. Furthermore it allows Janitor to slowly push more and more censorship onto the website. Slowly strangling the community it relies on to survive.

I encourage everyone to spread awareness of these new guidelines and discuss them respectfully.

Even if your favorite type of content isn't affected today, it could be tomorrow or next week. Where does the line get drawn? What prevents the platform from eventually dictating what adults can and cannot do in their own private DMs?

Imagine being banned over a private roleplay using your own proxy with a private bot.

That's why I'm bringing attention to this issue.

And as a reminder, this platform is intended for adults. We should be treated as adults.

Finally, please do not harass or threaten the staff or moderators. If you disagree with these changes, express your concerns respectfully and constructively.

This is very important. Even if it doesn't seem like it. But every time they lay out new rules like this, constrict freedom even more, the closer we get to becoming like Character.ai. no more what made Janitor.ai special. No more freedom. No more fun. So please. Even if you aren't into this stuff, remember that you and what you like could be next.
