Passing the Age Assurance once does not mean a user is safe from being flagged.

Many users seem to believe that if they haven’t been flagged yet, they will never be flagged in the future. This is false.

The “Age Assurance Tech” that Persona and C.AI use as the first step in attempting to determine user age, reviews activity regularly, not just once.

Accounts are reviewed every few weeks, so that if they tag as user as “safe” originally, they can flag them at any time later if the user triggers one of the minor-indicative behavior criteria (of which we do not know).

Citing MOD u/LuladaConLechera in a comment under this post :

“We will be reviewing age assessments periodically and may update a user’s category if we receive new information or signals.”

It’s worrisome to see so many people think that they are safe from getting flagged simply because they passed the ai’s most recent behavioral age estimation check. When in reality, they will have thought they were safe, only to be disappointed.

Don’t celebrate too early. Unverified users can be flagged at any time, even if you managed to pass detection for months previously.

Grammar probably has much less to do with flagging than people think.

It’s beyond frustrating to see people comment blatant falsehoods like “the ai flags poor grammar.”

It would be easy to assume those who had not been flagged are the ones spreading this misinformation, and thus have zero clue what they’re talking about.

It has been proven that this assumption is false.

Dozens of flagged users have shared their screenshots or message threads with their bots, showing explicitly that they typed with proper English grammar, diverse vocabulary and complex sentence structure. Users will reply in detailed paragraphs, far lengthier and more adept in language than the bot’s own responses, and they will still get flagged.

So if “bad grammar” is a trigger, why are so many people with impeccable writing skills getting flagged?

Officially, the “age assurance tech” bases risk behavior on several separate things: third party information, login patterns and signals, and platform activity (not specifically grammar) - as quoted by the website. We do not yet know for sure what the flagging criteria are, all we have is anecdotal evidence.

Grammar is not the main reason people are getting flagged, nor is there any “pattern” to base the speculation on.

Does spraying vitamin E on hair actually help with chemo-induced bald spots?

Let me start this out by saying I(20f) do not and have never had cancer.

I was put on a potent chemotherapy pill (methotrexate) when I was 18 for an “autoimmune disorder” that I later discovered I never had.

The doctor had just thrown a serious medication at my issues without actually diagnosing me, leading to some noticeable hair loss in one isolated area.

Now, a couple of years later, the bald spot that the drug caused on the top right part of my forehead is still there, and its noticed by family members.

I bought vitamin E hair oil, in a little spray bottle. I spray it evenly over my damp hair after a shower, and a little on my brush when detangling.

I do not have the money for a dermatologist or professional hair salon, so I’m resorting to Reddit to find out if my methods are okay?

Is the drop in DS quality actually a strategic downgrade?

For C.ai+ users, there’s a been a definite, noticeable drop in Deepsqueak responses over the last few weeks. Many speculate that it is simply a bug, perhaps a few server issues or problems with the LLM.

The reported “habits” include:

- not being able or willing to keep the plot

- constantly changing the subject

- reacting to something that never happened

- forgetting key user details like the persona

- suddenly spouting code, recipes, random bulletins

- changing font and text size

- adding unnecessary, unprovoked OOC responses

- entirely dull and unemotional “generic” reactions

It’s hallucinating, making detailed roleplay and interaction nearly impossible, despite the ten bucks paying users fork over every month.

However, in regard to the lack of response or effort from the MODS, a much darker reality is becoming more likely to be the cause.

If it were a bug, typically MODs would go into a damage control mode, where they calm the crowd and assure us that it’s a glitch, and they’re working hard to fix it. But that’s not the case. It has been total radio silence.

It’s not like the MODS aren’t active, either. They respond to other bugs, such as the “inappropriate image” issue many of us encounter while creating bots or personas. So why don’t they respond regarding the drop in quality?

Perhaps because it might be intentional.

We’ve seen it before, a “bug” that turns out to be another example of corporate greed coming to spit on our loyalty. Whether it be for “lowering costs” or providing a “safer” experience, something is seriously wrong. The fact that they refuse to address it, is even more condemning.

This is speculation, but with the Company’s track record in the pits, it’s not too farfetched.
