First what to address that I fully understand the reason behind the changes and am trying to accept them. The site had a difficult choice to make and just like other sites most advertisers do not like monetizing NSFW content and free NSFW is frown upon as online freedom is slowly being stripped away by corporate greed to control things. I am sad my normal content has needed to be altered to fit within these new perimeter set by the site; but I am okay with the adjustment that is needed on my end to still generate images on here.
Now onto my ranting and bit of background too first. I'm living paycheck to paycheck right now and trying to cut cost in daily life where I can; so sadly I have not been able to support this site. When my personal situation smoothes out, in I am not sure how many months it may take and money is not tight I do plan to support if I am still on here if things in the future on here do not change in a way the sends me away by force. I also have a second account that was recently created; this other account was made to be used by my hubby for when he helps me in the near future. I do my daily grind on that one with extra art to gather buzz for his use. This use is for creating Loras and training them; as I have plans for a bounty one day. The Yellow Buzz I earn through daily challenge prize and through tips I have been very protectively saving to use to make Loras of my OCs that I plan to have in my bounty. I also really want to give a nice rewards in that future bounty too.
So why is all of this long information important? Because when I generate a picture, I truly try my best to create PG & PG-13 images. Any images that come out rated higher then that and are blurred out I simply cut my losses on the Blue Buzz and delete the picture then move on. Simple right? If that little generate button turns yellow I will adjust my prompt until it decides everything is SFW. Sounds like things are settled correct? Well the site decided to be glitchy. I will click on that little Blue Generate Button and suddenly the site decides AFTER I hit the blue button to charge me Yellow Buzz instead of the Blue Buzz I agreed to pay. And the picture it delivers? A PG or PG-13 image, I made a ticket on my alternate account complaining and asking on how to avoid it; the email was very upsetting. This was part of the email; I understand priority but this feels like I will be tossed aside and not looked at, at all.
To manage this, we prioritize tickets based on Membership Level, with billing and Buzz-related issues receiving the highest urgency.
Please note: General inquiries from Free Tier users will not receive a direct response. While every ticket is reviewed by our team, we currently don’t have the bandwidth to individually reply to all non-priority requests from Free Tier users.
This would not be such an issue if I did not fear that half of my generations might be taken out of my Yellow Buzz pool without consent for images that ARE PG AND PG-13 RATED IMAGES. And it is not drastical things causing this either! My post below which some many have not been analyzed by the time you read this, you know how the site can be take several hours to rate images. But out of the 17 images the ones that are rated are all Blue Buzz ratings.
So I used my OC Jolene; I get images fine with her in an all black outfit and her hair up for an evil queen vibes. I receive blue buzz images then the ONLY change I made was I removed "high_ponytail hair" to change up the image slightly. It instantly charges me 20Yellow Buzz for the four images all because I wanted to let her hair down. It did this AGAIN for simply adding "solo" to the prompt because I was tired of the extra bodies with blurry faces in the background, and again for other changes that created a PG image because of a dagger and corset was added. The site sees these as acceptable Blue Buzz ratings so why am I being forced to pay different after I agree to one form of payment? I don't have the computer yet to run local and with my Financials it will take many weeks probably to upgrade enough to do so. There just needs something to be done about this glitch of charging wrong currency then what was asked.
This is my first article so not sure how to link but post below for pictures in question. I'm too afraid to upscale anything right now. I also wish I knew what triggers this stupid AI to decide what should and should not be charged when everything is clearly coming out in the correct rating so far. Or atleast I am trying my best. Also I do have Dyslexia, so grammar and spelling are not my best subject. Please do not roast me for mistakes.
