Fake profiles
posted 3 months ago
How we dealt with this in the past, and I think it's the right way to go:
I don't see a problem when between all pics of themselves an AI pic made it in-between. the intent could be "hey look, this particular scene/situation/gear does something with me, I wanna explore this more". then I'm all for it. an AI wouldn't break the meaning of his profile.
this is the same for full naked pictures, that made it in-between the pics of themselves.
but if a profile exists entirely to serve AI content, then that misses the point.
then they are better suited to open a forum thread, and gather them there and team up with others who also enjoy the posted pics/vids in the forum.

Even though I wouldn't label SP as an exclusive dating platform, I do agree with what you said.
profiles need to be about the person.
What I mean is that if you have a "normal" profile and after a while you add an AI pic to it, or a pic of your naked self (usually should be spandex-focused), I think that's ok. Add a commentary to it, why you think it belongs into your profile.

I think what makes this site stand out is that it feels and looks more "real" than any other site for spandex fans (The admin's efforts also contribute to this, for example, regarding events). It's more community-based and less focused on likes. It's really about connecting like-minded people. Profiles with collections of pictures gathered elsewhere or including AI pictures break that vibe - especially when they get people confused. And we know how quickly things like that can get out of control (just look at how many such profiles have popped up on X and IG lately!).
I would also agree that one or two AI (or "internet") pictures on a profile that otherwise includes "real" pictures is fine. However, I see two potential issues here. First: when do you stop? Especially if the person posting those pictures sees that he's getting more likes/attention/chats than he did with his own pictures... Second, and most importantly: I often see in the comments that users don't understand that they're dealing with AI pictures, or with pictures of different people collected online (their comments are addressed to a person, like "You look so hot in these!"). That's why I like this thread: once a profile is included here, not only the admin, but also everyone else, knows that the profile is not about "a person," but rather, is "thematic"...everyone is warned and should know how to appreciate the pics in question.
I think a clear rule such as: "We only post pictures of ourselves on our profiles, and we create forum posts for everything else" would make things easier. It's not ideal, I know, but it would bring clarity and it would make things easier to accept for everyone (= no need to assess every time whether a profile is acceptable or not; no need to explain to a user why his content is being removed and why others' content is not).

I agree with Spxbrln and I much prefer authenticity as well, even with such imperfections as we all have, but there's kind of a 3rd issue here. While AI isn't new, rapid improvements and tools that make it easier to use have just exploded, and like it or not, it's going to be a part of our lives moving forward, in more and more ways. Here, like everywhere else, we need to be prepared to deal with it.
Right now, the AI pics are mostly shitty, or almost cartoonish in appearance, depending on the skill of the creator. The AI tools are still a pretty dull knife. I don't think I've seen an AI pic here or anywhere else where it wasn't completely obvious that it was AI generated or altered, especially if there was any bare skin in the pic. I've never seen AI get that right.
But this will change, probably quickly, and the line between real and AI is going to blur. For this site, that could well mean that some guys are going to begin making little enhancements and improvements to their pics. Cleaning up the skin a little. Making that bulge a little bigger. Add a spot of precum. A little digital lipo on the waist and tummy. I mean, this has been going on in the modeling and entertainment industries forever, but it took a Photoshop wiz to do it. That's not going to be the case anymore. It's coming. And as Spxbrln said, where do you draw the line? Will it even matter, if the tools get so good that we can't tell, especially since most people on this site are never going to see each other in real life? I'm not making any judgments here, just highlighting the issue.

Let's say that you are a content creator on X or Onlyfans, and someone informs you that someone on a site called Spandexparty.com is using YOUR content as THEIR own. Does that content creator have rights and could there be legal implications/ ramifications that impact the site for failing to remove stolen content?
I wonder if Spandexpartyadmin would be open to additional official moderators to assist in daily management of the site. It has to be a lot to juggle.

I fully agree. with more people, you also need more moderation.
As you all know, we're currently developing the SP Mobile App and one requirement from the app stores is to have a functioning flagging/reporting system.
After that system is implemented and calibrated, we're much much better on the content side of things.

posted by: spandexpartyadminI let them know. once in a while a pic from the web that is captioned correctly, is ok. but if the posting cadence increases without any own photos, then it's not good. btw, Radhose told me that he takes these photos himself. but still, needs to be captioned correctly otherwise people assume things.posted by: 8eight8Radhose Is still just reposted pix from the internet.
