Just want to inform folks of something our moderation team has been dealing with recently.

Currently, the issue is resolved, for us, for now.

A while ago, I received an email from a journal demanding that a thread posted by a member of our community be deleted immediately.

The rules for vis.social have changed to not allow any AI-generated images... but I'm literally writing an academic paper right now about AI applications to VIS (including ethical implications), and a rule like this prevents even sharing this kind of research. This seems like a pretty... abrupt and sweeping decision? @kristinHenry @darth_mall is there a place for public conversation on the server to discuss rule changes like this? #dataVis #visSocial #dataViz
