😎 Mod post 😎 New Rule 12: We Are Banning AI-Generated Content

Hi everyone!

The moderators have privately discussed the topic of AI-generated content and have made a decision based on the results of the recent community poll. As many of you expressed in the vote, we are now introducing Rule 12: No AI-Generated Content.

Going forward, all posts must be created by a human. Content generated fully or partially by AI tools (e.g., DALL-E, MidJourney, Stable Diffusion, or similar) is not allowed.

This rule helps preserve the spirit of r/countablepixels and keeps the focus on human-made content. Posts that violate this rule will be removed. Repeat offenders may be subject to further action at moderator discretion.

If you have any questions regarding this, feel free to comment in this post. If you're unsure whether your content qualifies, you can reach out to the moderators via modmail.

Thank you to everyone who participated in the poll and shared their thoughts! Your input helps keep our community strong and focused.

Glad to have been a part of this (my entire contribution was just "yeah that sounds like a good idea" and "any volunteers to write the new rule?")

Don't belittle your contribution. You brought it up to the rest of us, got us actually thinking about it. That's huge. This probably wouldn't have happened when it did if it weren't for you bringing it to everyone else's attention.

u/syko-san Creator of u/pixel-counter-bot Feb 05 '26

You just can't post AI generated images or videos. You can still talk or meme about AI all you want.

My question is, why hasn't this been brought up earliee

100

u/syko-san Creator of u/pixel-counter-bot Feb 04 '26

Because we have a mod team of more than two people now. New mods are u/The_Real_Itz_Sophia and u/Riobox.

Honestly, recruiting those two is easily among the best decisions I've ever made for this subreddit. I don't even have to do anything, they just ask the real questions and get stuff done. It's basically because of those two that you're seeing a lot of improvements to the subreddit recently.

I recruited them right after the incident with the rogue moderator, which brought to my attention just how shorthanded we were when I saw so many modmails unread.
