⚄︎ Perchance

This is a Lemmy Community for perchance.org, a platform for sharing and creating random text generators.

Feel free to ask for help, share your generators, and start friendly discussions at your leisure :)

This community is mainly for discussions between those who are building generators. For discussions about using generators, especially the popular AI ones, the community-led Casual Perchance forum is likely a more appropriate venue.

See this post for the Complete Guide to Posting Here on the Community!

Rules

1. Please follow the Lemmy.World instance rules.

2. Be kind and friendly.

  • Please be kind to others on this community (and also in general), and remember that for many people Perchance is their first experience with coding. We have members for whom English is not their first language, so please be take that into account too :)

3. Be thankful to those who try to help you.

  • If you ask a question and someone has made a effort to help you out, please remember to be thankful! Even if they don't manage to help you solve your problem - remember that they're spending time out of their day to try to help a stranger :)

4. Only post about stuff related to perchance.

  • Please only post about perchance related stuff like generators on it, bugs, and the site.

5. Refrain from requesting Prompts for the AI Tools.

  • We would like to ask to refrain from posting here needing help specifically with prompting/achieving certain results with the AI plugins (text-to-image-plugin and ai-text-plugin) e.g. "What is the good prompt for X?", "How to achieve X with Y generator?"
  • See Perchance AI FAQ for FAQ about the AI tools.
  • You can ask for help with prompting at the 'sister' community Casual Perchance, which is for more casual discussions.
  • We will still be helping/answering questions about the plugins as long as it is related to building generators with them.

6. Search through the Community Before Posting.

  • Please Search through the Community Posts here (and on Reddit) before posting to see if what you will post has similar post/already been posted.

Hi, my generator (rwczus7xee - Dino Runner) is a Chrome dino runner game with a public leaderboard and live chat. It got an automatic Privacy warning. There's no sensitive data involved: only player-chosen nicknames, game scores and chat messages (all meant to be public), plus IP/device used solely to bind nicknames to their owners (anti-theft) and count unique visits. I've added visible privacy notes in the app itself (in 5 languages) explaining exactly this to visitors. I requested priority review twice but got "nothing has changed". Could someone please take a look? Thanks!

Hi, sorry about this, the moderation flags currently don't give any specific info to explain what caused it, so I understand the confusion. For your specific case, it may be a coding mistake by your AI if you used one to create it - try pasting the message below to the AI Helper:


The Privacy warning isn't about nicknames, scores, or public chat. Those are fine. It's about private messages. The DM panel says "Private", but two kinds of people can read anyone's DMs.

First, you: your admin/creator password passes the ownership check in nickCallerOwns, which dmPoll and dmSend use. If you want admin/creator access to DMs for moderation, just make that clear to users in the DM panel (for example "Admins can read private messages for moderation.").

Second, other players on the same IP address (same home, school or mobile network): for normal nicknames, nickCallerOwns also accepts a matching IP, so they can take a nickname and read its DMs. To fix it, make dmPoll and dmSend accept only the nickname's real owner (the uuid), not your admin/creator password or the IP. Then request a review again.


(the above message was written by an AI, I haven't personally checked so it could be wrong - let me know if you disagree)
