Hi there,
First of all I want to say thanks for the effort that the team puts into perchance. In today’s abundance of social medias, perchance feels very DIY and oldschool, like on good old internet, which feels very refreshing.
Lyrics aside, I want to ask for advice on behalf of furry-ai gen community. As it gains more traction, the need for moderation also grows due to all kinds of ill behavior that poisons the community. Original creators of this gen do not seem to be active or respond to feedback messages. What can be done in this case?
You must log in or register to comment.
I think if you cannot reach the creator of the generator and believe the moderation should be different, you can duplicate it and make it your dreamgenerator as you see fit. No other way for you to commandeer a gen with it’s owner gone.
What do you mean by “ill behaviour” exactly?
Are we talking people being abusive in the comments section?
Or is this more related to what people generate and post to the galleries?
A little bit of both. Trolling, impersonating other people and some generations that no one should be seeing. I can provide more details in private if needed.
Please write about it here
Fine - well, as I’ve mentioned, trolling and impersonation can sometimes get over the top, which is impossible to resolve without the banhammer. There is no one there to pin some sort of manual to users to encourage account and username registration to avoid this, and it is exhausting explaining this over and over. Also, I’ve just remembered - there is an issue of separating NSFW stuff from SFW more clearly, at least on chat room level, to discourage minors from peeking. I don’t think there is an easy solution to that, though, but we want to have space where people can enjoy themselves and don’t feel creepy regardless of their age. Content wise, as much as furry community is accepting of fetishisms, some stuff is absolutely unacceptable - such as an equivalent of CP and sexualization of minors (you asked for it, sorry). In my book, there is no place for stuff like this even in form of generated image.
Those issues are entirely subjective.
Are you even part of the furry community?
This sounds a lot like the rhetoric of someone who is an outsider that seeks to stir the pot because a group offends them.
As long as they don’t invade your space , don’t make an effort to invade theirs.
There are tons of generators on Perchance , each with their own crowd of people.
There is no reason for you to use the furry-generator , unless that is what you are actually interested in.
I understand where you’re coming from, and I understand that freedom of expression is one of the values of perchance. I am part of the community and I’ve been on this gen for months now so I know what I am talking about. I genuinely care about people on it, and I’m not the only one who has been raising concerns about certain issues, and majority of people who are a part of this gen’s community would agree. I get the hint about other gens, though. Appreciate your input regardless.
Yeah, in this case, only the author of the generator can change and moderate anything I think (same with any other AI image generators in Perchance), even if we offer to add the admin account by yourself, unless if you remix the generator so that you can moderate the comments by yourself (i.e. create a “safe” version of the generator with moderated comments of your own).
See this comment from a related post from the Dev.

Yep, I could feel the same too. Minimal interface and everything. And the account settings are also very minimal too.
Yeah, it’s somewhat tricky, this gen shows up as one of first results on Google, and it will be hard to top that. That’s how people find it. We don’t mind doing it either way, either reaching out to the gen admin or taking the responsibility of moderating it, as soon as it prevents the bad stuff. What’s perchance’s policy about gens that have no factual ownership? Is there a way to contact the owner of a generator somehow?
