Oof, the line about "changing your art because it looks too much like AI art" is such a bad one too.

I kind of empathize, especially if you run a bigger sub you can get 100's of reports/posts a day and some slip through. Should've immediately corrected it as soon as it became apparant that a mistake was made though.

Also as a mod from a smaller reddit community I'll say there's a lot of great ones and some questionable stuff I've seen over the years too. Fact that each community makes their own rules sometimes backfires way hard that is for sure.

What a clown, first he gets on his case because it's supposedly AI Art, but then when he proves it's legit the mod then says "git gud at drawing 'cause AI Art is better than your crap"? How insulting to the artist and going back on the original point from "this is clearly AI art so it's not allowed on the sub" to "this is so shitty AI art can be better than you".

And then telling anyone asking questions to go fuck themselves and banning them from the sub.

AI art doesn't hold up under close scrutiny. This piece is clearly original. For one, her eyes and fingers look right. There's specific, clear detail in her jewelry.

AI is good at resembling real art, but there's no substitute for human detail.
This. That mod really needs to get his eyes checked if he can't tell what is AI-generated or not.

People talk shit about mods on here, but there are some absolutely garbage ones on reddit holding sad dominion over their pathetic little kingdom.

There was also an incident recently on r/minecraft where a guy's girlfriend died and he posted a picture of their base, asking for advice on how to finish it as a memorial. When he posted the finished result, the mods deleted it because chain-posts were against the rules. They also deleted the original. Then when he appealed it, he was told that he'd "milked the death of his gf for enough karma at this point."

They still haven't removed the mod responsible, but they did recently post some new updated rules with a bunch of pretty pie charts.

Yeah part of the issue here is that people (rightfully) see that reddit karma can be gamed in a lot of ways, but instead of stepping back and being like "Oh maybe reddit karma isn't worth that much then" they're like "No, we have to stop people from getting the precious karma!"

Some Redditors would do literally ANYTHING for some of that precious karma, there was a schizoposting sub where the posts were mainly self aware stuff like the "they won't force me to eat the bugs" meme until a mod posted literal animal abuse/death for internet updoots, and then in the span of a day it turned into an animal abuse subreddit also featuring a little bit of arson because all the users wanted their time in the limelight. Huge fucking shocker that it got banned a bit later.

Fun fact. That mod (and every mod response in the pics of this topic) is very likely to be an infamous one named awkwardtheturtle. Moderates hundreds of subreddits and is known for making a bunch of bigoted remarks, power trips, etc. A huge no life asshole. A prime example of how terrible the moderation system is on Reddit.

Fucking this.

For the mod to go from "your art is clearly AI, use a different style" (because that's not Nazi-esque at all) to "well, AI generated art is better than your shit that you spent hours on" is just... fuck that guy.

I know the Magic subreddit banned AI art posts except a particular day of the week, but it's because it's easy content to post and upvote so it makes for a lot of spam-y content.

Yep. People hate the r/Sandiego sub because anything that isn't a sunset pic has a high chance of being taken down. Hell, when the Padres were going on their playoff run last year, posts would get taken down because they're "too sporty" or whatever bullshit

I googled his name and found this video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_g8hMNAK6HQ

I'm amazed that Reddit is still allowing this guy to run some of the most popular subreddits, but I guess as someone else said, Reddit won't care until their advertisers start making noise.

(Though looking through that Youtuber's channel, looks like he aligns more with the alt-right, so I'm not sure if I want to give him more views...)
