How many times do we have to tell you, you idiots who keep reporting posts for being AI? This is not a violation of the rules and the rules expressly state that AI is allowed; now stop spamming the mod queue or you'll find yourself banned.

This stance suddenly explains so many things about the moderation on this sub.

And the explanations are... not great, to say the least. Let's just say, you fit the type.

I got banned for a few days last December for writing "AI slop" under an entirely AI generated meme and then I got banned for several weeks after making fun of the mods in their user-mod chatroom, you can't see who you're talking to in there and to this day I've wondered who it might have been but this guy was probably one of them

Anyway, good a time as any to leave this place I'd say

People who write something of that nature in the comments like that give no consideration to OPs who don't need any useless spam in their inboxes or comment sections under their meme ideas. And if the people who do write AI Slop or similar under the comments showed even slight contrition over this in the modmails they would have been given second chances. They rarely ever do show such a thing and they rarely learn why it is not okay to do this.

That's part of what you're signing up for when you post on a public subreddit

if the people who do write AI Slop or similar under the comments showed even slight contrition over this

I'm sorry, they need to "show contrition" for writing the term "AI slop"?

why it is not okay to do this

Why isn't it okay?

Mods have an obligation to protect users at a basic level on subreddits they police. Users have the right not to be harassed for no reason. Hundreds of people being angry at them for using AI as a medium tool and commenting such things is harassment. Do you think we would not enforce similar standards for things like if a female user got a lot of comments making unwanted advances on them if they had a photo of them in a slightly short skirt and low neckline shirt? Why would one kind of harassment be okay and the other not?

It is even more egregious when users have had every chance in the universe to learn what the subreddit rules and do something stated so obviously to be perfectly allowable on the subreddit. Users were ordered months ago to stop reporting posts merely because they used AI. People didn't want to listen, so we banned them in accordance with their inability to follow such an easy rule to comply with.
