If someone can take the time to learn how to use the AI tools, they can learn the other parts of it, or how to use any image manipulation software.

Disclaimer: I didn't create this thread. I went to shower then came back and refreshed the forum and saw this and decided to comment on it.

Disclaimer out of the way: So basically you're trying to tell us that it's a REQUIREMENT of the website that every submission that we want to post here MUST be cleaned up with other tools or it's not allowed to be posted on E6AI. Gotcha. I wish they had written that into the actual requirements posted on the website. If I had known that we were required to do this just to be permitted the privilege of being on the blessed E6AI website I would of never bothered posting anything here.

So here's what happened in the past 24 hours: I went to bed with my account having the ability to upload 8 pictures per 24 hours then suddenly while I was asleep several of submissions (that had already been approved months ago) were suddenly deleted. Now I'm restricted to only 6 per 24 hours. I'm sure those I requested deleted are going to count against me as well, even though it's done at my request. Most likely by this time tomorrow I won't be able to use the website at all now because of their rules. It's not even anything that I did or had any control over either. I thought I was "Doing the right thing" and complying with all the rules by posting something and seeing it approved by a moderator, signalling to me that I'm doing everything right how they want it. Apparently that's not enough and suddenly one day we can wake up and be told "that thing you uploaded 3 months ago that was good enough back then isn't good enough today". Which leads to confusion about just what the heck is even going on here on this website. ??????????????????????????

I have no idea what to think about anything today. I post something months ago and it's approved, then later not approved, so.. how would I ever know if something that I post is good enough to be here? Being approved by a moderator doesn't mean jack squat. There is literally no way to know if we're complying with the rules or not on this website when we post something. It's a huge gamble with the status of our account to even attempt to post anything here.

This whole process of posting something, seeing it approved, then later having it removed (and a permanent ding on our account that can never be reversed by anyone and effects our ability to upload in the future) is so awful. How are we to know if something isn't good enough without trying to post it first? If it's not and gets deleted then we're fucked for lifetime. That's it. Account permanently damaged. No going back. No repairing. Nothing to do about it.

If I ever did post anything again I would have this constant worry that everything I post is just going to be stealth deleted in a few months and negatively impact my ability to upload, even if it's initially approved in the first 72 hours. There will always be this constant looming fear of "Is today the day that I'll be cut off from uploading to E6AI?" every time I wake up. I have enough stress and depression to battle daily already in my life. I don't need even more added onto my plate from this place. I don't know how anyone can handle this sort of uncertainty, doubt, and fear by posting here.

It sure is awfully scary trying to use this website!
