Considering how meticulous the moderation of AI images was, more staff would hardly have helped their problem, not to mention the fact that very few people would actually agree to check this kind of thanks especially considering how terrible some ordinary artists sometimes post on booru

You may want to go re-read the announcement. Tantabus is its own thing with its own funding channels. Not running off Derpi’s.

Expensive or not, these are not your personal funds to allocate.
People running this community have expenses beyond just hosting a website and they have to carefully allocate their funding.
Hosting doesn’t only come with storage, but as part of running a website, also bandwidth.
I get you are afraid to lose the ability to goon to AI art but your post nut clarity is very much needed right now

All things I know. My business is in hosting. What I’m getting at is I support this site because it is a home to just about all creativity of the fandom. I don’t like seeing that creativity even more limited. Also calm it with the insults, we aren’t here for that.

wow arguments, well reading averything rn. i kinda get it now. if its too costy and further dificults the staff
work on more important things to work on, i see why. in the begining seemed to me more of “lets try to appeal to
the anti ai mob” but now it’s more down to earth than that, it still sucks tho for me cuz i love some ai art. both for
gooning and reference art. i also like the idea that some level of ai is gonna be allowed but only if an human made some changes or has more human input to it.

@Geljado
So are you guys offering to help?
Look at my past uploads and what stuff I wrote / commented.
I’m not spectaculary qualified.
And if I hadn’t issues with abusing powers given to me..
Yeah.
I like to help out where I can with what I’m able to do;
but my abilites are probably not of use to you guys.

To my point, why didn’t the staff ask for help earlier? Make the issue known to the people creating the problem so the community could try to fix it before just getting rid of it and presenting their solution as the only solution to the problem? I’d have volunteered my time, and I’m sure others would have too if it was made known that the staff needed help moderating AI art.

No I am well aware of that. My question is why it was a discussion only among staff? Was it never considered to ask if more approval staff could be brought in? Maybe a sticky at the top of the site asking for help with reviewers? From my perspective this was a decision made behind closed doors.
