A new rule about AI
Hello all,
It’s your friendly neighbourhood gaming-giraffe here, and I wanted to address something which we as a mod team have noticed is becoming more divisive.
Artificial Intelligence.
It’s a topic which provokes strong opinions, and it’s one which some of our members are understandably sensitive about.
At The Gamers’ Tavern, our mission is to create a cozy and safe home where people can find community through gaming, away from some of the pressures and noise outside the tavern walls. To that end we are updating our rules to help ensure that members have control over the discussion topics they see which relate to AI, whilst still supporting open conversation.
Going forward we would ask everyone to consider AI to be a sensitive topic, on a par with the others previously mentioned in the rules (politics, religion, etc), and apply good judgement and common sense in how it is handled.
- Make appropriate use of Content Warnings (CWs) and use the tag ‘AI’ when posting on Mastodon and Discourse;
- Any AI related content should be tagged on Peertube/Pixelfed, and any AI generated content should continue to be labelled as such
This allows members to choose to avoid specific AI related content, mute all posts related to AI, or engage with the topic on their own terms.
Given that this is an addendun to the rules we will foresee a time-cushion of about a month between the rule being published and the rule being enforced by the staff.
As always, if you have any questions or concerns please don’t hesitate to reach out to me or any of the Mod Team.
Thank you.
The Gamers' Tavern is a cozy place where you can rest and have fun with others gamers. This community main goal is to provide everyone a cozy and safe place to keep in touch and play together.
