Never thought I'd make an announcement post. Recent events have kind of forced one, though.

I am sick of Janitor's shit. There are a LOT of reasons why, but to be honest, I simply don't have the energy to go over all of them. That should already tell you a lot about how they conduct themselves. For now, I'll just stick to the most recent and most personally-relevant incident.

As many of you know, I enjoy making bots of all kinds, and that includes a handful of quadrupedal characters. These characters were explicitly stated to have human-level intelligence, to understand speech, they had methods of communication, and all of them were mythological beings that have never existed in reality. If you go look at Janitor's guidelines right now, all of my bots follow them. Unfortunately, the site's moderation team are apparently incapable of understanding their own damn guidelines that they're supposed to enforce. All 6 of my quadrupedal bots were permanently forced into Private mode by Janitor staff and branded as "bestiality" even though anyone with even the faintest understanding of Janitor's guidelines will know my bots don't even come close to bestiality—even while working with their definition, mind you.

I wasn't even notified I got banned. I had to email support to figure out what was going on when I couldn't log in. Support told me I was temporarily banned for 30 days. I, of course, sent an appeal, since this is total bullshit. They never actually responded to my appeal, but here I am only about 6 days later with access to my account again, so I can only assume it was accepted. Incredibly unprofessional of them to not only not tell me I was banned until I emailed them, but also to not deign to give my appeal email so much as a quick "Alright, you're unbanned" response. Or maybe they never intentionally unbanned me at all and they're just so incompetent that they didn't set my ban to the proper duration. We'll never know, because they never fucking communicate with us.

So what's next?

First of all, I have to try and undo all the damage that the moderation team wreaked. I'm going to replace all of those condescending placeholder images with actually good ones over the next few days. Absolutely crazy that a website for adults, that is literally BUILT on its users taking the time and energy to make bots, that would DIE without said creators, thinks it's okay to be so condescending, infantilizing, and rude to those creators with a placeholder image like that. Your website would die in weeks if creators stopped making bots, so maybe stop treating them like shit.

Anyway, assuming my appeal was accepted, then that means, by definition, that I did nothing wrong, and therefore my bots are okay to republish. I cannot do that since moderation has permanently locked them to be Private. Thus, I'm going to email support and see if I can get them to unlock my bots, and then I'll get written, explicit confirmation that my bots didn't break any guidelines. Since my appeal seemed to be accepted, logically that must be the case. However, if I go silent again and you don't see my bots getting fixed, you can assume that Janitor staff really didn't unban me intentionally and their incompetence just helped me out one way or another behind the scenes—and thus, promptly rebanned me once they learned. But I guess we'll see which one the case actually is.

After that? I'm taking a break. A long one.

I really don't like the idea that my bots are helping this shitty company stay afloat, especially since they falsely branded my bots as bestiality. But I also know how much my bots mean to a lot of you. That's why I feel obligated to, at the very least, fix the bots that I've already posted (assuming Janitor staff don't block me from doing so). But after that, the only bots I'll post for the foreseeable future will be a reupload of The Beast's Mate (if Janitor staff confirm I can do so without getting banned again), and potentially reuploads of a couple bots (Utri and Your Cuntboy Husband) if Janitor staff don't let me change the names of their current upload and make them Public again (because apparently the only issue with them was the fact they had "cuntboy" in the title). After that, though, I'm gone. Don't know for how long. Probably months. Maybe forever.

And in case I don't see ya: Good afternoon, good evening, and good night.
