Sorry guys, but the spam users are getting out of hand. I’ve had multiple users (probably the same person) register for accounts and post digital art (in multiple communities) that sexualizes children, which I do not condone at all. Of course, they had to go and ruin it for any genuine person who wants to register.

Let me take a moment to restate the rules (which are always listed on the about page). They are simply: be respectful, no spam or advertisements, and no pornography or explicit content. Hopefully, it’s implied that any content that could even be mistaken for CSAM is prohibited. If you have any questions or concerns about the rules, don’t hesitate to reach out.


That being said, the only difference with registration is that you now have to fill out a text field explaining why you want to join the server, and then you have to wait for manual approval by an admin.

Since manual approval is now required, I am looking for a third admin who thinks they could help out, as I am not available all the time. Ideally someone who has already been using kbin.earth for a while and is decently active.

    Sad that such people are so persistent.

    I’m willing to help as I’m terminally online anyway :D

    But I’m worried that such a registration challenge might be easy to bypass with the use of AI generated text.

      I’ll DM you later today, thank you.

      I’ve thought of that (AI), but I’m unfortunately not sure what else to do.
