Wandmannos has been banned. If you don't know that name, you missed the opportunity to have met the best bot creator I know. Wand was banned less than an hour ago. Months ago, Wand posted a bot featuring the character Ju Fufu from the game Zenless Zone Zero. There was nothing wrong with the bot; I read every line of the bot’s prompt and found absolutely nothing in it that could violate the rules, and yet the bot was accused of being a... I’m not even going to say the word—at this point, I’m afraid I might end up getting banned myself too.

I was chatting with him on Discord when it all happened. We were laughing and talking about a game we were playing on the server, when suddenly he got the email about the ban. When he told me what had happened, I covered my mouth with my hands and stood up from where I was sitting. I couldn’t believe what I was reading—something I’d feared would happen to me had ended up happening to a friend...

I was already losing all hope in this site after ExcalUmbra—another incredible bot creator—was banned, but now there’s absolutely nothing left. As I write this, Wand hasn't sent me any more messages and hasn't said anything else on the server. I just hope he's okay. Seeing everything he's done over the past two years destroyed is a pain I've never felt, but I can imagine what it's like.

All of this happened because of this site's AI moderation; proof of this is the recent wave of mass bans. For now, all we can do is hope that the modders see what happened and fix the problem, but very few people are getting their accounts back...

I've seen many people saddened by this, and I'm one of them. Wand has been an inspiration to me throughout my career as a bot creator; he's been with me since my very first bots. Without him here, I, like other people, have lost hope of creating bots. My account could disappear at any moment, so don't expect any bots from me in the future. If he recovers his account or this wave of mass bans ends, maybe I'll start posting again

If you'd like, join the server. Words can't change what happened, but I think any support right now will help soothe Wand's heart.
