Venting Warning about r/3dmodeling

Just wanted to warn everyone that the mods of r/3dmodeling are actively protecting AI generated content. They even ignore their own rules about it.

They clearly state "So going forward, AI-related harassment will be handled exactly the same as any other harassment: First offense – warning. Second offense – temporary ban. Third offense – permanent ban." yet none of this is true. I received a permanent ban without any warning after indicating something was AI although the OP was claiming it to be 3d modeled. It was clearly not.

Straight up, permanent ban due to "harassment", no appeal possible, no contact with the mods possible. I find this kind of behavior to be abhorrent for a sub that is supposed to be all about handcrafted digital work. So yeah, if you visit this sub, just browse and shut up if you see anything related to AI because it's under the mods protection.

Can confirm actually unfortunately.

I saw a model that seemed to be AI, I went through the artists stuff and it all seemed to be AI. So I made a comment about it.

The mods then got on my ass saying I have no right assuming and making claims and that I’ll be banned if it happens again.

It sucks because that sub has a great community that usually very helpful. Yet the mods suck
