okay so here are the facts. janitor moderation is coming down on ME for no discernible reason. looking through the ongezellig tag and seeing who's thumbnails are being taken down is proof of this. the vague reason they did provide me was that the thumbnails depict "childlike characters." idk what the requirements to be "childlike" are. the bots are very very VERY clearly of adults. i do not know how much more obvious i can make it. all the maya and coco bots now one of three images. i could not be bothered to find unique replacements for the SEVERAL that had their thumbnails removed at the same time.

i have reuploaded two of my bots that were taken down, again for nonspecific "childlike image" reasons. considering the ai finds these bots are perfectly fine upon being posted, we (me and my fans) are almost certain they're being reported by someone, and if that's the case we're also very certain this is by one of the many trolls who have raided my discord server and spammed in my comments. if this is the case then it is incredibly embarrassing and disappointing janitor ai isn't enforcing their "rules" consistently just to satisfy hateful transphobes trying to bully a creator off the site. it's also incredibly embarrassing that they have made it impossible to reach them anywhere. their discord and reddit enforce the silencing of criticism and make it impossible to reach anyone that isn't ai.

whether or not i will quit i'm still not sure. i do not want to, believe me, but this is making botmaking tedious and unfun. i don't know if i will reupload the 600 follower special bot. finding images that will be acceptable to the mods has proven to be exceptionally difficult, i don't know how many people even liked it, and it will certainly perform poorly like all my reuploads do. if some people REALLY want it, let me know.

if you want to stay in contact with me in case some more nonsense happens, join the discord. i promise i'm not always a grumpy asshole :) this is just really frustrating to constantly deal with

sorry if this is difficult to read. i wrote it late at night. i love you all 💙💙 sincerely, iris
