Ouch.
So yeah, they did us a little dirty. Those rules mean no AI in the forum and only very restrictive AI on the pfps.
I hope the admins & mods are going to spend the next days observing the reaction, because it's not going to be pleasant.
I understand the problems AI can pose (they are many and varied) but this kinda
throws the baby out with the bathwater.
This basically
kills all of those contests.
And while yes, other kinds of contests are possible (writing, game design, Daz3D & other images), some of them are going to take A LOT OF WORK to get anywhere for a rather small audience. Lots of effort, little payoff.
It feels like LewdCorner right now is trapped between what it originally was, what it wants to be, and what the rules force it to be. And somehow this compromise is the worst you could get (minus the AI non-countless-things pfps).
I think if the admins & mods want people to accept the rules, they're going to have to do more than say "these are the rules". They're going to actually have to explain what legal boundaries tighten the chains & bind their hands compared to the other sites that have a far, far less restrictive policy.
Damn they did you dirty.

They might not truly understand the greatness of your goblin girls and goblin boys, but I do, and they'll be always welcome in my pms.
