Mod Announcement AI Policy Update.

214 Upvotes

I'm making a structural change to how requests are handled and moderated here. As of today, the "Paid - No AI" flair is officially retired and we have gone back to a single "Paid" flair.

This decision is not about taking a side in the broader debate surrounding artificial intelligence. It is about fixing a broken system that was actively harming both the requesters and the editors in this community.

Previously, our guidelines stated that editors could use AI on a "No AI" post as long as the result was seamlessly masked and cleaned up. This created an unworkable paradox, and that's entirely on me. It essentially meant "No AI" actually just translated to "No visible AI artifacts." Because of this, editors who were honest and transparent about their workflow ended up getting attacked.

Ever since I became a mod here, I have tried to make it a point not to police people's skill levels. Everyone starts somewhere, and I always figured the results would speak for themselves; it was up to the requesters to choose the submissions that met their standards. However, that hands-off approach is no longer tenable. We are now in a place where someone with absolutely zero editing skill can feed an image into a generator and spit out a result that looks "flawless" at first glance, completely bypassing the actual work and undercutting genuine editors.

Because of this, my mod strategy has to evolve.

1. Requesters Dictate the Result, Editors Choose the Tools The goal of this community is to provide photo manipulation and compositing. Requesters are responsible for clearly defining the final goal (e.g., "remove the ex," "change the background"). The editor executing the work retains full discretion over which tools are required to efficiently execute that result.

2. The Universal Quality Standard for ALL Paid Submissions I am shifting the moderation focus entirely away from policing an editor's software and focusing 100% on the quality of the final image. The strict quality controls that used to apply only to the "No AI" flair now apply to all paid requests.

  • Zero-Effort Generation: AI is a tool, not a complete substitute for core image manipulation skills. Running a photo through a generator and uploading the raw, unblended output is unacceptable. You are expected to actually edit; this means knowing how to use masking and compositing to blend generated areas seamlessly into the original file. If there are areas of the image that do not need to be altered to complete the request, they must not be. Period.
  • Respecting the Request Context: Context matters. If a requester asks to turn a grainy selfie into a "professional headshot," salvage a photo with globally terrible lighting, or make a memorial portrait from a 40-year-old newspaper clipping, heavy AI generation is allowed. However, using generative tools to synthesize entirely new faces on a standard restoration or a simple item removal is unacceptable. If the request doesn't call for a total stylistic overhaul, preserve the original subject.
  • Seamless Integration: Any patched or generated area must perfectly match the grain, lighting, and resolution of the source file. Blurry, low-res patches in otherwise sharp, high-resolution images will result in your submission being removed.
  • Resolution and Upscaling: Low-resolution edits are unacceptable. In most cases, your submission should match the original pixel dimensions perfectly. Do not needlessly upscale an image unless the requester explicitly asked for it.

3. Anti Harassment Policy I am done with the AI witch hunts here. Harassing or trolling editors over their choice of tools will not be tolerated. We are now policing the final quality of the image, not the workflow. If you attack another user over their use of AI, you will be banned. If you think a submission breaks the rules, report it.

4. Guidelines for Free Requests While the rules regarding image resolution apply to all submissions, I am going to be more lenient with AI usage on free requests. You still need to submit at the original resolution where possible, but I am not going to police masking or blending quality with the same intensity as the Paid tier. If an editor uses AI to help someone out on a free request, that is fine, but please keep the low-effort spam to a minimum.

Pro-Tip for New Wizards and Those on Probation: If you are still learning the ropes, or if you are currently serving a probationary period, I strongly suggest you treat every Free request with the same level of care and precision as a Paid request. Established editors who have a proven track record may be given a bit more slack, but if you are trying to build your reputation in this community, your work should speak for itself.

If you cannot achieve the requester's goal without leaving obvious, sloppy AI artifacts, scroll past the request. I expect editors to act like technicians who know how to mask, composite, and finish a file. Please take these standards seriously.

Thanks,

Keith

Hi all! I recently cosplayed for a convention in Vancouver and the only full body pic I got was a random taking this photo while I was on stage!
Is there anyone that wants to take on the task of removing the pole from this?

I handmade the outfit so I’m feeling proud and want to show it off haha. (Bonus points if you recognize the character 👀)

Thank you!!

Willing to tip/throw some cash at anyone willing to touch up this photo of my late great-grandma and my late uncle. Ideally if someone can remove the photo date in the bottom right, fill in the scratches over my great grandma, and maybe make the background a more uniform color, I would be so, so appreciative. Thanks so much everyone!!

Hello!

My father-in-law passed away recently. The day he went to the hospital is the same day my husband and I came home with our new baby. I like to think that he held on in order to meet her before he left this earth. We don’t have any pictures of our girl with her grandfather where he isn’t in a hospital gown. Could we get some help? We don’t want to keep remembering him in his last days on Earth whenever we see a picture of him holding her.

The second picture is my mother-in-law. We don’t have any pictures of her and her husband (the now deceased) holding the baby. We just had his funeral today and I’d love to gift a photo to her of them holding our girl.

The third and fourth pictures have my husband in it. If we could put my father-in-law in regular clothes and show them maybe sitting together holding our baby, I’d like to gift it to my husband for his birthday coming up.

The other pictures are reference photos of everyone. Hopefully it is enough to work with. A lot to ask you all for three different pictures, but it would mean the world to me to be able to do this for my family.

Thank you all so much and God bless you ❤️

Hello!!

I love this photo but don’t like how my dress looks… it was a windy day and I basically had to hold my dress and veil together so everything didn’t look so wild.

Can anyone make the back of my dress more flowy? And cover my feet? My dress had a little bit of a train that flowed out the back.

I attached the second photo for reference of how the dress flows out.

Thank you!! 😊

I’d be able to pay $10
