Yep, some dev bootlicker defending their zero-fucks attitude just because they're a single person or whatever.

Like come on, shutting comments down shouldn't be that much of a probem. When shit gets out of hand to this level, things need to be done. Regardless of how tired or busy you are.

And yes, this place is really just a downvote circlejerk.

Not only posts, but every comment. Someone downvoted literally every comment in this thread.

Now I really wonder who those people are to get so pissed about the call to stop CP distribution.

If there was moderation filtering out those creeps in the first place, that wouldn't be needed.

If I was making a generator, I would just disable the comment section entirely, or write some (sadly, fake, as we can't actually implement it) message that there's a strict AI moderation that sends your whole data to the cops if you write something like this, lol.

I can think of some other ideas - such as trying to implement an extensive word/link text filter.

And did you change Comments to Feedback and disable other users except yourself from seeing it? If yes, nice move.

Since none of this seems to be doing any good, why are we beating the dead horse?

?

How to get credits?

Why would you want them to be here instead of Reddit?

Because this kind of shit running freely there puts the site at risk (let alone the obvious argument that it shouldn't be distributed anywhere, and we should do what we can to stop it). Isn't it clear.

And yes, if no one's gonna moderate the comments, they should be removed. Is it also not obvious that the lack of proper moderation attracts bad apples, and bad apples can bring trouble upon a site that does next to nothing to counter it?

Not every comment is deranged like that, most of it are normal people - well, not exactly normal 😅 - but nothing criminal, but from what I've seen and heard, it really is a significant problem.

Let the criminals flood them, set up tracking, and let professionals investigate those links.

Like all of us, you're suggesting ideas only for them to fall on completely deaf ears, the dev is not here or anywhere we can reach them. That's why all this shit started in the first place.

If only the criminals are using the chatrooms, there wouldn’t be an issue with shutting them down.

No, not only criminals, it's not like it's dark web or something. A lot of people chat normally, but yeah, if no one's gonna moderate it in whatever way, let it be gone for good. I bet most people wouldn't care, but if they do, apologies to them, but the risk is too high.

Am I missing something?

Yeah, the fact that the dev is either AWOL or doesn't give a damn.

I was not talking about AI generated images or any guardrails on AI. I was talking about real, actual CP networking, with actual children, and the moderation of Comments (that's what I called chatrooms) where real people talk, not chats with bots.

I changed the title of the post for clarity.

I also don't support any kind of guardrails for AI itself, except abuse material based on real people and instructions on harmful actions.

Why not Discord tho? Privacy reasons?

Human moderation is really too much to ask for, AI moderation - I dunno. Considering the dev's indifference, best would probably be to get rid of it.

Hahaha, no. My dumbass brain just got its hopes up that Stoat is an AI similar to Perchance, and wanted to ask, and then I just googled it and realized it's a Discord type thing.

I'm as pissed at the dev as you are, and even more for endangering a site I value.

That's not AI, it's just a basic word filter. That's never going to do shit cause you're always able to circumvent it by censoring or saying it in another way.

Does it only have a chat? Does it have image gen? Does it have limitations? Or censorship?

Still, that doesn't 1) delete the message, 2) prevent them from being written in the first place, 3) prevent them from doing whatever they want until they get banned. Isn't it crap.
