Sorry for two new pinned posts within the span of 24 hours. after coming back I figured some of the rules needed some updating, and it is policy to put any rule change up to vote for the members.

The two changes I currently would like to make, is increased enforcement of the moldy posting rule, and a new rule banning AI generated content.

moldy posting is when you post a meme that you would find on your aunt’s Facebook page or Elon musk’s Twitter account. I’m talking properly old, moldy, watermarked, painfully irrelevant posts. I think we should remove them simply because they kind of suck, and removing them would raise the level of quality of 196.

I believe we should ban AI generated content because it is exploitative by nature, and I don’t think we should be feeding it.

please discuss in the comments, and vote on whether or not you think these changes should be made. vote on each change separately. if there are any other rule changes that you would like to suggest, now is the time.

I am in favor of both of these changes. I always feel lowkey like ive been tricked when i realize im looking at AI art, and the moldy posts just feel like mud to slog through sometimes.

I’m in favor of the anti AI rule but against the anti moldy posts rule.

Also, could you remove that image from the post, I almost reported the post for “unflagged NSFW” because of it.

Edit: Reported it after an hour for the “unflagged NSFW” maybe that will get their attention on removing the image from the post because there’s literally no reason for it to be there.

Agreed on removing the image. I upvoted because I thought it was a regular post and not a rule change

I only visited this post because of the image & now I’m performing cunnilingus on a bowl of Mac & Cheese.

Please remove the image.

It’s starting to boil over! Someone put a lid on it!

IDKAYBI hope she smells like Limburger and dirty socks.

Also agree entirely. The moldy posting is funny because it’s not and it deserves to be here.

gormadt I would like to remind you of our NSFW rules. skimpy clothing is not considered NSFW, and neither are breasts. maybe if it was just the woman on the left, it would count as softcore porn, but in the context of my macaroni is a lesbian by Chuck tingle it is obviously more funny than “sexy”

Blocked and reported. Unless you’re drinking chocolate milk with your spaghetti, as Chuck Tingle intended.

Moldyposts were fun ironically, but i’m fine moving past them. I’m also on board with giving toaster generated posts the boot. Also, this comment counts as my post before i leave, see you all next sticky

I’m curious what the discussions regarding what is or isn’t considered moldy is going to look like.
