Hello, people.
So, days ago someone posted about a generator with CSAM (in that case, being able to select "child" and also NSFW things at the same time). I also saw one of that one day, but I haven't reported because of laziness (classical "someone else will do it").
But there was one day (1~2 months ago) in which I found CSAM and I wasn't lazy at the day, and wanted to report it, specially because it was "a little hidden". It was on an specific gallery of the main image generator, which name I sadly (or not) don't remember anymore.
I know that the generators have quite the good amount of safeguards on it (on the text one, I accidentally flared them up a good amount of time, for innocent things), but whoever made that images had found a way to bypass them and make CSAM. I don't know how much Perchance tolerates lolicon media (in my view, the lower the tolerance, the better, but not all sites around the web are like this), but I bet that the "level" of lolicon that were present on that images were very problematic even if Perchance tolerates anything at all.
So, a button to report images, just like it apparently exist on chats nowadays (sorry, I don't use chats), would be welcome. Since generators are harder to make, and less numerous, they would not be a priority to receive it, and reporting through DM would be enough.
But it would be very good to have it on galleries. Not simply block or dislike, but really report. I don't believe that dislike equals to report, because dislike is, well, when you simply don't like something. I also don't believe that block is enough, not even the system of "a lot of people block = it doesn't appear anymore", because there are many reasons for a person (or many people) to want to block an user, and not all of them are the reasons that would generate a report.
Therefore, the suggestion is: at least in gallery images, have a report button (the ones that usually have a flag), so the user can easily and directly report to admins, so they can properly ban the user, check what made them be able to make CSAM (and therefore enhance the safeguards), and so on.
To avoid excessive useless reports, other things may be applied, for example:
- Cloudfare/whatever to avoid bots.
- Quick rules on reporting (for example, "Use this only for X, and never for Y, since for Y you must simply block or whatever").
- If people keep reporting for Y instead of the proper X, you may put a selection box with X and Y, and auto-ignore everything that has only Y.
- If people still abuse the report button, you may make this button appear only for logged in users, which are easier to deal with.
Obviously, like the title says, this is only a suggestion. I don't really know the things about taking care of a site and all, and I know that Perchance already does a good job. Also, I'd like be thankful for perchance, because it's one of the only remaining sites around the web that won't get random keywords and send my IP to the cops because of my prompt "Smiling cute little girl, looking at viewer, holding a white board written, in red letters, "donate blood" in it".
Edit: I jut noticed "report button" exists on images one create themselves, but not for others. The objective is obviously for other people's images, since someone who wants to create CSAM will hardly report themselves.
