Silent deletions have started

[longhairfish]

Hi everyone!

Starting last week a new procedure has been implemented for those people who refuse to look at the forbidden list.

For starters, I get it. Not everyone bothers to look at the forum section of the site. But this is where the rules are and there is no other
place to put the rules.

For the last 15 years we always notified a user why their pictures or galleries were removed. The majority of the removals was
because of the sites or people listed on the forbidden list.

In the last 12 years our site has grown at least five times. We have the same amount of moderators for the most part. When moderators leave
I added new ones.

Knowing the site has grown so much, the time spent making deletions and attending to users by moderators and me
is "mad crazy".

AI has helped me where it can. And I do have a few dedicated moderators to watch for specific things.

Deletions : We always notified our users when a deletion was made. Not only is this the most time consuming of the day, many
users who have deletions to their account don't read Admin messages sent to them. Or the user simply doesn't care.

Most all deletions will happen without letting the user(s) know.

In short, if you uploaded pictures to the site you should have read the site rules as to what is forbidden.

There is no reason to ask "Where did my pictures go?". Had you read the site rules then there would be no reason to ask such a question.

I would guess that not even % 0.25 of the galleries are deleted. The biggest issue is the AI galleries. AI has it's own topic mentioned
a few times. People still don't understand they can only choose the AI category if any of the pictures in the gallery are AI.

On an unrelated note, the sit is supposed to be over hauled this summer. I don't know exactly when that will happen.
