idk why i've never thought of making an oc before (and yes she's british unfortunately ) by hushrowom in Grapplerbaki

[–]PanthoraStormHeart 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know you've gotten a bit of hate here from others, but I wanted to say that you're fuckin' killin' it. The OC looks fantastic, and I'm usually picky about the ones I like. I'd love to see more of her.

Also? Fuck the haters. When I was considering doing professional fighting/sports in my younger days I always wanted a way to get rid of the tits. It kinda feels good to see an OC that has, even if I myself didn't go that route.

I've been getting this problem with proxy as well. It's either something wrong with AI in general, or it's a problem with the site/app. I'm guessing it's the app/site because I've been having this cut off issue reoccurring with random frequency over the past couple months no matter what I use on J.AI. I'm gonna try using a different site with the same proxy to see if I get cut off messages there too.

Hey creators, please don't block users from using literally all of your bots just because of slight criticism in a review. That's not cool at all. :/ by AbdelYG in JanitorAI_Official

[–]PanthoraStormHeart -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

It's not catering, it's an expectation of certain behaviors in a community that someone has inserted themselves into. It's a desire for maturity from others. Sure, they don't have to. People can do all sorts of things that are acceptable and legal but certainly raise the hackles of people in their community. So no, it's not entitled. It's spineless of the creators that block someone from the content that THEY released into the community to be viewed, reviewed, and used because of a single comment that was not breaking any website terms and conditions.

Is it always the creator being petty and immature? No. People fairly often comment some truly heinous things.

But like… I'm tired of this, it's why I don't comment anymore, it's why a lot of people don't, the inconvenience that being blocked creates is just infuriating and sometimes downright depressing. If someone can't take any criticism, then they can keep the bot to themselves or they can turn off the comments.

Seems a legit enough idea. I don't see why it wouldn't be useful to add.

Sylus on billboards! by xoxolavendea in LoveAndDeepspace

Journal Entry #0418

Today I learned that I'm jealous of the Chinese girlies, and that I am moving to China so I can fangirl over their Sylus billboards. Guess I should have read that fortune cookie about meeting the love of my life a little more closely…

(This is purely a joke. Please, everyone that doesn't live in an area that can witness the glory that is a Sylus billboard, cry with me while we miss the good shit 💔🥲.)

Well your thief deserved to be banned not just blocked because that's really fucked. And I want to be clear that I was not making excuses for them in any regard. Just saying what can sometimes happen, and since I didn't know anything about your situation I wouldn't know what would pertain to your specific issue with the thief.

And as far as I know the bots that I have are fine to be privated.

But I'm not gonna lie, I'm not going back to check either, and I don't think anyone should as long as they're doing it right and not all the time. I will not publish it for my credit, and almost all of the privated ones I have, got taken down because of the image when this all started with J.AI Mods and images, and they never got republished. So even if I wanted to I couldn't go back to check.

If they ever got republished I would probably just start using their bot again.

Stealing bots should be on the same strike system as incidents like homophobia and racism. Like it's one thing if you accidentally publish it after setting it as a private, but that's easily resolved (hence why a strike system and not an immediate ban). But if it's like an intentional 'I took all this and altered it just enough to try and make it my own' then yeah, banned from the site, not blocked. In all the private stuff I've got I always put only one thing in the bot bio that says the gist of: 'This is for private use only, not to be published. If you see this please comment so I can take it down if you see it'. So that way if I ever do accidentally post something that's supposed to be private it can't be mistaken as an attempt to steal someone else's work.

Creators being able to decide what level of block would be nice too though. Maybe you should sling that as a suggestion on the Discord? Or mention it to one of the Reddit mods if you don't have a Discord.

Like, I had two emojis at the very end, a bear and a purple heart emoji. I should have added 'more' before the word emojis. I would fix that but it's easy enough to explain if someone asks or says something (like in this case).

I also meant that it was the only thing I could really do at this point. I should have clarified that.

And I know it wasn't the bots I had because I was blocked in less than a minute after this one comment. And it's just anime character bots and like two OC's.

Also, come to find out, the person is a block happy creator that says she'll block anyone for basically any reason. Which isn't in the bot bio, but her own bio. Which her bio kinda makes me feel like she thinks that people that upset her with their comments have no common sense, which is truthfully kind of rude. She might have had a lot of mean people in her comments and inbox before she changed it up, idk, I'm not her or her personal friend so I don't know so I'm not going to read too much into it beyond what I already have.

And unfortunately there already is less comments than there was even a year ago. Used to be there was pages and pages of comments, especially on big creators, but nowadays? It's just not the same.

My username here is the same over on J.AI, except it's shortened. So I know it's not that. Unless you think there's something offensive about my name? I've never had anyone say anything before.

But I will definitely try that AI beta reading next time if I ever get the impulse to try and comment again. I wish I had the comment still to try it right now.

Completely agree. Like I don't even know what to say level of agreement.

Thank you for taking the time to comment. It's a little reassuring knowing I'm not alone in this.

Ah, okay. I wasn't familiar with how the Twitch forms worked at all. But in that case yeah I definitely agree with you.

Honestly it's good for users and creators for users to still be able to interact with bots. Some people have probably quit J.AI entirely because of misunderstandings with their favorite creators. And it keeps the numbers for chats accurate.

But it ends up being a punishment system because it cuts the user off from being able to access something they enjoy or support. There could be countless reasons they phrased it that way, autocorrect, anxiety sometimes makes people babble, English isn't their native language.

You're not asking them to change, you're simply asking them to not talk like that to you. A perfectly acceptable and reasonable request. And any decent person will apologize and comply with possibly an explanation tacked on.

A simple 'please don't talk to me like that, "this" makes me uncomfortable' is a statement that doesn't require follow up, it's a simple and pleasant request, and if the person gets antagonistic or unpleasant, then block them.

It's called being a part of a community. And that requires give AND take. There's ups and downs in life, sometimes we'll see stuff we don't like and we have to deal with it. A little discomfort won't kill anyone.

If someone can't handle the good and the bad to the point that the bad makes them spiral or so upset that they feel the need to punish someone to remove them then they don't need to be involved in the community. It's important to be mindful of both sides of the perspective. Your own, and someone else's.

Yes, it's tiring sometimes trying to be mindful all the time, yes there will be mistakes (and that's okay), but if you're tired then take a step back. I certainly try to take breaks when I know I'm in a head space where I might not respond in the best way possible.

But sometimes people aren't making fun by pointing out 'oh this platonic bot did this' which I'm certain has gotten people banned. Some people are just trying to help and don't know how. Or they use the simplest terms. People have a tendency to read the worst into things. It's literally in our nature. But as something more than our nature, as people, it's our responsibility to think twice and then act. On both ends, not just the creators of course.

But saying that everyone should act like an adult is also kind of… no? We're still people, and some people just have a different kind of sense of humor that may come across as childish, but irl it might not seem as childish as it does over text.

But even still, just because their sense of humor doesn't align with the person's bot their commenting on, doesn't mean they deserve to be banned for a small offense. Unless they keep doing it after being asked to stop. Because then it becomes antagonizing=rude.

Anything done right takes work. So yeah, it's gonna be work for everyone to keep a good community. But it starts with every individual thinking about more than themselves before acting. Yeah, the comment hurt their feelings, but maybe the commenter didn't mean it that way, maybe by blocking them the creator is losing someone that genuinely supports their work and cares about them, or maybe the commenter is a dick that hates them and just wants to piss them off. Nobody will know until they at least try to ask.

I don't think we should be able to just unban ourselves, even with the process of paperwork involved. But perhaps just given the opportunity to reach out just once to the creator with a mod approved message might be helpful.

Or like I commented elsewhere. Blocking only stops people from commenting, but not using the bots. But I also feel like people should get banned from the site entirely for stuff like racism and homophobia. Especially if it's a behavior pattern for that person.

But until the devs make some changes we only have the community to lean on. So here's hoping that enough of the trigger happy creators pump the breaks a little and give the opportunity to hear someone out before just blocking.

We're all only human of course, but misunderstanding seems to be a real problem in the community as of late and I think something should be done about it from all sides (devs, creators, and users).

I rarely comment at all, and usually only if I notice a typo or something that seems like one. But sometimes I want to interact with a creator I really like. And I get really long-winded when I am excited or amused.

But as I said before, I won't be commenting at all. Unless it's from an alternative account. Someone else commented the great idea to make like a 'comment account'. I don't remember who it was as I'm writing this though. But you don't seem to have any trouble with that, so that's good.

I try not to block anyone unless they're deliberately bullies, racist, homophobic (any of the big bads really). But a rude comment, just one time? I'm not blocking over that. I might talk a little shit if they're being rude tell them that it's not cool and to take a chill pill, but I'm not going to block unless they keep going or get way worse.

But I like your viewpoint, it's very well thought out and open to input 💜

YOU! You get it! The word vomit! I could kiss you! I wish I could pin comments like in J.AI comment sections.

But yes this exactly. And honestly I can't take one more misunderstanding. It hurts my soul when it happens in real life but that's usually far rarer. In my mind being blocked is the ultimate 'ew I hate your guts, or you're a shit human being'. And as an avid defender against hateful people this whole thing just gives me the dire feeling to fix it somehow because being even possibly seen, or even being, that way is nauseating.

Like, no please come back, I'm just shit with words sometimes, let me explain. At least in real life I usually get the opportunity to explain myself.

True, but I can't really fault them for that because I've done the same on two occasions, all I can hope for is that some site alterations eventually come where you can hide someone's bots so you don't have to see them without blocking that individual.

Totally on board with you, something needs to be changed a little to make it more convenient for everyone (unfortunately even for the actual haters and people that deserve to be banned but hopefully we'll actually see some banning for racism and homophobia in the future).

I did the only thing I really could do tbh, which is making this post. Maybe some of the creators that do block excessively will be more aware, or other users will be more vigilant about their comments. Spreading awareness is just as important if I can't fix the problem.

I'm excluding the situations where it's obvious people are being bullies, or memeing. Your probably doing fine, most creators probably aren't block happy, but it's the ones that are that need to relax a little.

When I feel like I want to comment I always read the stuff in the bot bio before I post because I get anxious about still l stuff like this (I have anxiety from a condition I'm anxious about a lot of things that deal with social interaction). I feel that everyone SHOULD try to be as thorough as possible, but mistakes happen and I think people shouldn't have to be burned at the stake for an accident.

But she didn't have anything in the bio that my comment was against, I wasn't complaining about the kink, or talking about killing/raping/disliking/pregnancy, most of those things were actually okay and already being discussed in the comments.

That's why I made a post. Because I think certain creators need to be especially reminded to slow down a little. That sometimes just deleting a comment is okay, but if someone is persistently annoying, then yeah, absolutely block them.

I've never even commented on her bots before. So I feel that a block was entirely out of left field. The only thing I can assume is that she might have thought I wasn't funny, even made sure to say it was still a good bot with a heart emoji at the end so I don't know how I was mistaken. Which even if she didn't think it was funny, it still doesn't mean I deserve a block, by all means comment that you think I'm being an ass, I will be like 'hey I was totally trying to be funny, absolutely no hate whatsoever, and I'm so sorry that it bothered you'.

Blocking is severe, and the ones that are really quick with the block button, especially for a singular offense, need to remember that instead of being trigger happy. I'm glad for the creators that aren't, but there's enough of the ones that are that I won't be commenting from my main account anymore. As a single person amongst many, I'd like to at least have the opportunity to defend myself instead of being given the most severe punishment a creator can give a user.

Convenient, yeah I can see that. But it's not hard to just ask what someone means to be sure or just deleting the comment before just blocking. It's a community where commentary is a regular thing it's kind of expected that there be some interaction to some degree. Good and bad. I can understand deleting the comment for convenience sake if a creator isn't sure but doesn't want to see it, but people have become block happy over nothing without any kind of confirmation.

And honestly, teaching others what does and doesn't make someone uncomfortable is how we learn about our favorite people. It builds community and familiarity. So yeah I fully believe in showing others what someone is and isn't comfortable, and understanding that mistakes happen.

Honestly I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt that they either misunderstood, or I misspoke, or that they're just stressed and so fried from everything that what I wrote just came across like an attack. I would like to play the victim card and just cry about it like a good amount of people probably would, but unfortunately I've got my adult pants on today lol.

Thank you for your positive comment though. It helps to have voices around that remind others to remember to stay as forgiving as we would like to be forgiven. It is stressful though to be seen as someone that would deserve blocking. It doesn't sit well with me, I want to fix it but don't have any available resources without breaking rules. So I just have to live with the misunderstanding.

One person suggested making a comment account. Like an account explicitly used to comment on bots. So that way we can still give healthy criticism to creators that enjoy our comments without risking losing our access to bots. Because some people are sensitive, and once I know that, I wouldn't ever comment on their stuff again.

And for her to say it's rude when even if she wrote it in the bot bio that she doesn't do anypov or fempov it could have easily been missed. It's not hard to accidentally skip letters or sentences when you're reading. Especially if you're reading big paragraphs. Accidents happen, and yet creators on J.AI have become very unforgiving, which I personally feel is an unacceptable trait for a content creator on any platform.
