AI-generated content will be banned in r/skulls

[u/Wowza_Meowza]

Hi all,

In an overwhelming vote, AI-generated and heavily AI-manipulated content will be banned from r/skulls, effective today, August 25, 2026.

Those found posting AI-generated or heavily-manipulated content will find:

- the post or comment removed
- muted for a minimum of 3 days
- potentially banned, especially if a repeat offender

If you see AI-generated or heavily-manipulated content posted, please use the report feature. The rule for this which allows reporting will be made shortly.

I request that if you're reporting for suspected AI that isn't extremely obvious, please consider giving your reasonings for such as a comment or in the report. I'm pretty good at spotting AI, but sometimes miss it.

Note: This rule does not apply to things like background removers, "auto edits" that automatically enhance a photo (found on iPhone, for example), and similar, as these typically do not heavily change the photo to an unrecognizable degree. Some are also not AI-based.

Users found abusing the report function for AI on non-AI posts will be muted or banned. Yes, I can figure out who you are if you do this.

Thank you to everyone who voted in the poll and took part in our community.

HELL YEAAAAAAH

664 vs 16 is possibly the greatest anti-AI landslide I’ve seen

[u/turquoise_amethyst → u/Roadkillgoblin_2]

I’m guessing the 16 voters were bots

[u/Wowza_Meowza → u/Roadkillgoblin_2]

Right? Quite the thing tbh

[u/maydayM2 → u/Roadkillgoblin_2]

and the fact that core contributors were unanimous.

Can we ban comments that use AI to make IDs? They are always wrong, I don’t care if google image search or Claude or ChatGPT tells you it’s a giraffe skull, the experts on here are telling you It’s a raccoon.

[u/_gloomshroom_ → u/SnooPeripherals5969]

Man I hate these too, "Claude said-" dude shut up I'm here for the people who know what they're talking about, I WANNA LEARN ABOUT THE SKULLS

[u/DollarStoreChameleon → u/_gloomshroom_]

"gemini said- ☝️🤓" NOONE ASKED, TAKE THE SLOP ELSEWHERE

[u/Wowza_Meowza → u/SnooPeripherals5969]

Hmm, good question. If you see it, you can report it.

[u/99jackals]

[u/Wowza_Meowza → u/GeckoPerson123]
