Updates

If you don’t want to see me yapping, you can ignore it. Anyway, I will be making SFW, Limited Mlp bots from now on. Doesn’t affect me much really as I rarely make smuts, but the NSFW contents of ponies will be elsewhere. Again, seriously! Thank y’all for your support and bringing the unfair bans onto the stage to let everyone know!

Yappers to share from my perspective of the situation:

Well, I will admit. Before getting unbanned, seeing Rennis getting banned, and knowing I might be next for whatever reason. It was exhausting and confused, very confused. As I have rechecked the TOS line multiple times, even looking at Discord for any information, there was a possible reason why Rennis could have been banned. I thought it might be possible due to Pokémon or MLP, but I have seen a mod on Discord provide proof in the bot's initial message, which you can look at.

Then, seeing mods also said it is not allowed like… what? I understand that these are old messages, but what else can I do when the TOS is as vague as an invisible landmine? So I assume MLP is fine. Jeezus, I cannot believe I have to be actively involved in Discord to find information about what the topic is that a bot cannot be made for when it's not announced? That's… utterly terrible miscommunication.

After a few days of being in the dark, I was abruptly banned. No warning, no nothing. I have zero hope of appealing, as the appeal ticket takes weeks or months to be inspected. The combined ban is vague, stating, "Due to NSFW animal bots, you have been banned." I was confused, as I have seen mods say MLP is fine, repeatedly. So, all I did was witness and watch.

I scoured through Reddit as the website legit has more information, until finally, from checking the Reddit, where THERE WAS A TOS EXPANDED IN DISCORD. The worser part was seeing a person say on Reddit, not going to mention who, I REPEAT WORD FOR WORD UNLESS THEY DELATED IT (I have a screenshot to prove I ain't high), "That just sounds like fear mongering from a bot maker who knows they're breaking ToS." I was utterly baffled. You're telling me I have to magnify the vague ToS like a sign saying "Do not touch land." And why in the bucking Tartarus, do I want to bring fears upon the community as it helps NO ONE with a lot of miscommunication COMING FROM JANITOR?

Well, skipping all of that more depressing stuff, at least my friend and I were unbanned, but please just be more communicative with your community, and use THE ANNOUNCEMENT or UPDATES AND CHANGES channel to let the bot makers know where the line is that they cannot cross. And don't get me STARTED on people assuming ponies mean a younger horse, buck no. It means "any of several breeds of small horses," while foals, colts, and fillies mean younger horses. Come on, man, we have the INTERNET FOR A REASON.
