The rule the angry moderator cited was: “Your post/comment has been removed because it contains content created with closed source tools. OP has stated they used Photoshop and Topaz on some elements.”

This is the message I just sent to all the moderators of this subreddit:

Why did you delete my post? According to the message I received:

“Your post/comment has been removed because it contains content created with closed source tools. OP has stated they used Photoshop and Topaz on some elements.”

THERE IS NO RULE ABOUT THAT. If you’re referring to rule #1:

“All posts must be Open-Source / Local AI image generation related. All tools used to create post content must be open source/local AI image generation. Comparisons with other AI generation platforms are accepted.”

You’re saying I violated that rule?!?!? THAT’S INSANE! Are one of your moderators really THAT vindictive? Almost EVERYONE uses Photoshop and any other image processor to get their work done! This includes preparing datasets, inpainting with SD plugins, to final presentation. ALL of the work that was done to create that image was done with Stable Diffusion models and LoRAs! I use Photoshop to do my inpainting with ComfyUI! ALMOST ALL WORKING DIGITAL ARTISTS USE PHOTOSHOP! It’s a standard tool! I use Topaz whenever I need to enlarge an element that I send through img2img!

Are you really going to be THAT dogmatic about rule #1? Because if you do, then you’ll have to delete half the images posted here! You’ll have to start a massive, ugly inquisition.

Did it ever occur to you to ASK me about these things? Or asking if I used Adobe’s generative fill? Because I didn’t! Did you consider making even the SLIGHTEST inquiry? Instead of just deleting the post about a painting I worked on? On my cake day, no less.

Do you want generative AI art accepted in the rest of the art world? Because this isn’t the way to do it.
