  • Was discussing this with a friend yesterday.

    Civitai has a long history of bad moderation.

    But bad moderation does not mean that you need stricter moderation.

    Rather , civitai’s moderation methods has alienated normal users from engaging with the website in a positive manner.

    Give users the ability to generate what they want privately , on the condition they keep it nice and tidy on the front end

    and people will have incentive and capacity to restrict themselves in the public space.

    Treat people fairly , they open up to you about the problems they see.

    Set clear boundries on rules , and users can work the problem for you; ensuring they get what they need without posing problem for the website.

    If normal users leave , or become dormant , then there will be nobody to keep the crazies in line.

    Referring here to people with kinks and motivations that fall well out of scope of what one normally has to moderate on a webpage.

    Once the normal users become inactive , the entire community becomes a madhouse.

    Which I think is more or less is what has happened to civitai at this point.

    Active users are crazy , the normal users are dormant , moderators have to work their *ss off to regulate everything 24/7 , website becomes a trash heap and nobody cares about anything anymore.














  • I get it. I hope you don’t interpret this as arguing against results etc.

    What I want to say is ,

    If implemented correctly , same seed does give the same result for output for a given prompt.

    If there is variation , then something in the pipeline must be approximating things.

    This may be good (for performance) , or it may be bad.

    You are 100% correct in highlighting this issue to the dev.

    Though its not a legal document , or a science paper.

    Just a guide to explain seeds to newbies.

    Omitting non-essential information , for the sake of making the concept clearer , can be good too.
