If anyone hasn't seen, I did my best to clarify some of the new rules in Profile Picture/Avatar, Banner, Postbit, Signature, and Post Changes

There is currently no expected change to Games or Games+ that I'm aware of.

As always, if there's any questions, feel free to message myself or another moderator.

We don't use the G-word. Ever.

That aside, welcome! If you want to post here, check out the first page. Also, there's a couple good guides on the site as to ranks, how to best get coins.
This is a good starting place.

Personally I'd recommend you don't try getting P4 for AI stuff. Everything is pretty uncertain and still under development.
Do it because you like being here and enjoy the talking. Otherwise you may spend a lot of time for nothing if the AI rules change again.

Keeping track of everything is something you learn over time, but you also don't need to. You can just have a interaction next to others, without knowing what they're talking about.

Thanks, but I'm not exactly new. Hahaha
I like making small talk, but the volume of replies is kinda overwhelming.
But I'll try reading some here and there to join in the conversation.

 

[Mr. Tearson]

Wait, is that just AI, or is all loli content being removed now?

All AI Lolis. Only 2D AI is allowed. But ALL AI images are to remain in P4 and PFPs.

As for the game thing... honestly don't see them have their own PFPs and adding them in their signatures, along with being part of discussions within the public area. They are games within the plus zone and they did not get reported. What was reported was someone's profile image and signature, along with images being shown in public that shouldn't have been shown. We had very limited time to think things through and deal with everything before the host finally felt acceptable.

Pro-tip: Try to get P1 as soon as possible.

With P1 you won't have any reaction cooldown on your likes, and being able to react to other people's post not only creates a meta narrative (your reactions giving context to the post) but also increases your visibility to others. If someone sees you liking their posts, they're much more likely to keep a lookout for you and react back to you.
Before P1, this is torture. After P1, it's fun.

 

[kikomascado]

Yep. That was a lot of text.
But since this has been brought up time and time again, I thought I'd use the opportunity to put my thoughts down.

Ultimately this is just capitalism being capitalism. It's about getting a secure, high return on investments that's completely divorced from the actual product.
Shareholders don't care about good games. They care about their shares and dividends. All of this was, unfortunately, inevitable when games became main stream.

But games like Baldur's Gate 3, Hades or Disco Elysium show that good games are still made. Innovative games are still made.
But those aren't the game companies with the big marketing budgets, so the games are always a lot less visible than the hype-sellers.

TLDR; Asmongold is wrong. They still market to gamers. They just don't develop for gamers.

Many companies have old farts that don't get videogames, and yet make decisions about videogames. So they just want the safest option, with the lesser risk and higher profits. This sucks very, very much.
But on that point is what I think Nintendo really shine through. Despite their flaws (which aren't few), you can see there's passion on their games (at least most of them), and they're not afraid of coming up with weird ideas.
There isn't a lot of big companies that still has this mindset, usually it's just indie studios and such.

Okay, I'm going ask again. Why is this the case? IF said content is in the "Games+" in games that only require "Members+/P1" to access it- what is the difference with exactly same content being shared outside of P4?
You do not require P4 to access to the loli/shota games. Do you?
Do these games contain the exact same/ if not similar content to that which you're moving into the P4 section?
Theoretically, couldn't some "White Knight" grind/buy "Members+" access- go to the games section and be just as offended there as they could any where else on the site?

Do you see the disconnect in logic now?
I'm not trying to be an asshole, but these two things contradict each other.
If you can play these games outside of P4- why does similar content (static images, in fact) receive different treatment?
It defies logic.
I can see NON-realistic AI loli/shota being moved into P4, BUT not anime-ish/2D/3D/Daz/HS that is readily available in the games on the site.

I don't think it's older developer. A lot of the ones that are visible and are talking actually get gamers. You can see that, for instance, in the youtube videos from Mark Darrah (former bioware). It's the publishers that have no incentive to risk anything, when they can make much more profit by playing it safe & relying on marketing & hype to sell a cat in the bag.

 

[User_43697]

We are literally not allowed to mention them.

There's even an... I dunno... Autobot thing (yeah, I know that's not the name) that insta-censors any attempt at saying / linking certain sites.

You won't be able to get an answer here.

aww that’s suck, how can people join them without allowing to know about them

Some of this, you're right. But right now, it's AI being attacked. Until we know for a fact that we're on the safe side, we're sticking with this. No site wants to be booted because of some snowflakes that got their eyeballs violated.

That made me a little confused. AI loli isn't allowed even on P4? And what is PFPs? Sorry for the noobness.

After getting my next interest at the bank, if there are still a discount, I'll get it.
II don't want to rest my timer withdrawing now.

Don't worry about it in no time you will have over 100,000 LC in your bank

It should still be around tomorrow, I think. But if you're worried, messing up the timer once is not a big deal. You only get small amounts with a small bank, while you can get 2-3k per day just by chatting a little here and there.

 

[User_43697]

Profile pictures maybe? im a noob too at this point

I pretty much explained that part a bit here.

[whoisit]

Made a new signature but it's too big and has scrolling, at least for me. Do you also see it with scroll or not?

 

[Silrog22]

Refers to your profile picture. Also known as your avatar.

yeah, does look at tad too big and is scrolling.

Can't promise anything, but I might be able to resize it.

 

[TheDude14]

Ok that is fucking stupid tho. It was just a pirate face. AI or not. It wasn't sexual sure as shit wasn't a fucking loli.

I'm pulling a @Slumdum I'm quoting myself lol. So @Bloodheart I had a talk with Silrog. Your pfp was removed because of the realistic nature of it. That seems to be the biggest issue with all this. The AI stuff looking to real. At least you were able to find another pirate for your pfp you scallywag lol
