I agree a 'this is why' would be nice when your generator is tagged as mature, but on the same note - if the generator is or could create mature content, why put effort into having the flag removed if the cost is stripping out features? If you would prefer to make the changes and your intended audience is in fact only PG-13 or whatever the threshold is, then working to resolve the issues may be worthwhile - but if it is or could be used with mature content, then that is what it is, no reason to change it, but then it is also prudent to have the mature content gate and not a punishment.

⚄︎ 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.

Makes sense, and a "this is why" on the flag would genuinely help.
Just to be clear on my side: the focus here is socializing — it's a community/chat hangout — and the mature flag gives the wrong impression about what the site is. I'm not trying to gut the site to chase the flag off; that would defeat the purpose. But I do think it's important to understand what triggers flags, because right now it's a black box.
Honestly, on the 29th I got hit with a privacy policy strike, and then out of nowhere it was removed again by the bot/person — and I hadn't changed anything. So I have no idea what I did wrong or right. That's the frustrating part: without knowing the trigger, I can't fix anything even if I wanted to.
true, always getting punished with no way knowing why, ngl tho i just asked the helper to analyze and the previous one used some sus words lol
