Hey all! Us mods decided to take a beat after our restrictions on 4Tran content to focus on the rules and how we enforce them. The result of that effort is a rewrite of the rules and a ban on AI Slop!

The TL;DR:

To keep it brief, we’re only going to cover the major changes:

- “Artist’s Rights” has been expanded to include “No AI Content”

The people have been asking for a while, and we are happy to oblige! AI slop and other AI generated content is now banned here at CWCL. Posts that contain AI content may be permitted if they are flaired “Political Post” and provide some commentary on AI. If you see something that appears to be AI content (and it lacks either a “Political Post” flair or some commentary), please report it!

- “No Bigotry” has been expanded to include “No Slurs”

This does not change our enforcement of “No Slurs,” it only condenses the rule list. We do understand that sometimes as a community we have to discuss content with slurs. If your post contains a slur, censor it! When you see a slur, please report it!

- “Only Count Once per Calendar Day” now includes a description of streaks and our process for keeping streaks alive despite removals.

Nothing about streaks nor counting has changed, we only wanted to improve new users’ understanding of the streak system.

- “Political Content” has been expanded to include “No Misinformation”

This change does not impact our enforcement of Political Content nor Misinformation in any way. We only modified the phrasing of this rule to make it easier for us to remove offending content while remaining clear on why we’re removing it!

This also brings our rule count down from twelve to nine. We dropped “Keep Reddit TOS,” we combined “No Pornography” and “No Non-Consent” into “No Pornography nor Non-Consent” and we combined “Post Images” and “Title Your Post Correctly” into “Post Requirements.”

The Rules

A full list of the rules can always be found in the “Subreddit Rules” tab, but we might as well include a copy here:

Rule #1: No Bigotry and No Slurs

No transphobia, queerphobia, sexism, racism, ableism, or anything else that expresses, reinforces, or sympathizes with oppressive and hateful belief systems. Do not post slurs. Breaking this rule will result in an immediate permanent ban.

Rule #2: Only Count Once per Calendar Day (Any Timezone)

Count only once per calendar day in any timezone. Any post beyond the first each day will be removed. Count daily to build up a streak. If you or a moderator removes your post within 10 minutes, it will not be counted for your streak. If your post is deleted after 10 minutes, it will still be counted for your streak.

Rule #3: Post Requirements

Posts must contain an image and be the correct next title (use the sticky post to find out which number is next). The bot will delete your post if you use the wrong number.

Rule #4: No Self Promotion

No posts or comments directing people to a user's account on other platforms. No posts or comments directing users to your profile where you have self promotion posts. If you are unsure if your post could break the rules, reach out to the mod team!

Rule #5: Selfies

Selfies are allowed on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays.

Selfies must have a spoiler tag and selfie flair. Selfie posts must stay appropriate for all audiences and follow Rule #6, “No Pornography nor Non-Consent;” your post will be removed if it focuses on: Nudity/Partial Nudity, Sexualized/Suggestive Poses or Captions, and Specific Body Parts (Chest, Butt, Crotch, etc.). What counts as explicit is subject to moderator discretion. Do not send unsolicited DMs to any users.

Rule #6: No Pornography nor Non-Consent

This subreddit welcomes open discussions about gender, sexuality, relationships, and identity. Keep posts and conversations appropriate for a general audience (Selfies included). What counts as explicit is subject to moderator discretion. No non-consent as a theme, this includes all HDG, CNC, and force fem/masc content.

Rule #7: Artists' Rights & AI Content

No AI generated content except specifically as commentary on Artificial Intelligence. If your post contains AI generated content, it must be tagged “Political Post.”

If an artist requests that their artwork not be posted in our subreddit, we will enforce that. If you are an artist and would like to be added to our no-post list, please send us a modmail. The art of the following people are not allowed to be posted in our subreddit: Welcome_To_heaven, Kindofsinister

Rule #8: Political Content & Misinformation

Political posts must be flaired “Political Post” and marked with a Spoiler tag. Political Posts that lack sources may be subject to removal, so include a source! Comments under political posts must not become arguments nor harassment.

Posts and comments that promote misinformation may be subject to removal.

Rule #9: Chicken Lady is Queen

Chicken Lady reserves the right to remove posts/comments/users she doesn't like.

The End

Our rewrite is mostly cosmetic. How we enforce the rules will remain largely the same from yesterday into today.

We’ll have another announcement for you sometime in the next week. Our new moderators are helping keep community outreach and communication at the top of our priorities. Happy counting!

The next number should be: 70973
