MODERATORS
 

Hello world,

as many of you may already be aware, there is an ongoing spam attack by a person claiming to be Nicole.

It is very likely that these images are part of a larger scale harassment campaign against the person depicted in the images shared as part of this spam.

Although the spammer claims to be the person in the picture, we strongly believe that this is not the case and that they're only trying to frame them.

Starting immediately, we will remove any images depicting "Nicole" and information that may lead to identifying the real person depicted in those images to prevent any possible harassment.
This includes older posts and comments once identified.

We also expect moderators to take action if such content is reported.

While we do not intend to punish people posting this once, not being aware of the context, we may take additional actions if they continue to post this content, as we consider this to be supporting the harassment campaign.

Discussion that does not include the images themselves or references that may lead to identifying the real person behind the image will continue to be allowed.

If you receive spam PMs please continue reporting them and we'll continue working on our spam detections to attempt to identify them early before they reach many users.

If I had a nickle for every time someone thought that was a clever reply, I'd be able to afford a house

First: you people? Who are "we", are unable to identify such contents / opinions? Second: I'm not talking about people identifying content and filtering it, I am talking about automated systems. Do you think that they are filtering Nicole's by looking at each and every picture?

'You' are everyone in existence not me who apparently have a hard time distinguishing authoritarian jargon.

I'm not sure where opinions come into this, are you a bot?

If I can do it, an automated system can do it. Twitter already had it but they didn't roll it out because it 'false flagged' a bunch of repugnican politicians as fascist back in 2015 GUESS WHAT THEY WERE FUCKING ON THE MONEY!

I get it, you're a terminally online shitstirrer that isn't getting enough attention. Well I can guarantee this is the last post you'll be getting any of that from me.

You are absolutely incapable of judging the complexity of the tasks at hand. a) Calculating a hash of every uploaded image, comparing it against a blocklist, and extending the blocklist as needed b) validating each each post to distinguish truth from lie, facts from imagination and on top of that judging whether the presentation opinion fits in a moral/ethical framework of which a computer has no concept of.

A computer is a machine that calculates stuff. It "emulates a brain" to appear smart. A brain is a biological machine that is good in pattern detection and expression, which emulates a computer to do math to appear smart.

If you think an automated system can do it because you can do it, please spend your apparent infinit resources and time in implementing it rather than wasting your valuable time online insulting others who actually do something.

I'm seriously impressed you are accusing the other person of doing this. Reread your comments and take a hard look at the vibe you are giving off.
