Main Bot Card Image policy change FAQ
You have questions, we have answers
Hi! There have been a lot of questions about the upcoming policy change for bot character card images. This post is to answer the main questions, and may be updated and expanded if necessary.
FAQ
What is the change to the bot character card image policy?
This change only applies to the main bot character card image. Three things will be blocked by the automod:
- Straight up intercourse
- Exposed genitalia (a bulge in underwear for example will not be blocked)
- CSAM
Why is this change happening?
Thousands of new bots are uploaded to JanitorAI every day, and existing tools have not been able to stop problematic material being uploaded to the site. All problematic bots are currently manually removed by our volunteer moderation team. This is no longer feasible for certain types of content violations.
Is this a temporary change?
No.
Can we blur the NSFW part of the image and use it?
Yes.
What about bot descriptions and profile pictures?
You can still add NSFW images into the bot descriptions and profile pictures. You can also host NSFW images on an external host and link to them from the bot description. Those images will need to follow the site guidelines as they do today.
Why not use Cloudflare's existing tool for CSAM?
This has been enabled on JanitorAI since 2023. There is a lot of misunderstanding about this tool. It will block already tagged images that have been hashed and tracked, but is of no use at all for new or AI generated images. Those are the vast majority of problematic images on JanitorAI, which have to be manually removed by our volunteer team.
Isn't this a slippery slope?
Let us be absolutely clear. This is a necessary security update for JanitorAI and has to happen. But we will never censor NSFW chats. They are here to stay.
