“there’s an ai tool for that” okay ?? there’s probably an ed sheeran song for it too who gives a fuck

[bane-amesta]

Having an AI tool for something doesn't mean is good either lmao

Its the fact that everyone started to use it that's so touching

This may have just started as a personal thing. Wanting to encourage the person making it to go outside and enjoy it

But then everyone realized they wanted to go out.

We don't go outside a lot these days because the neighborhood looks too much all the same and it sucks, but these people made ome little improvement and everyone started to enjoy it

There's something crazy touching about that

And it wasn't just a hit with a single group of people- There were couples, there were single people, there were groups of friends; There were elderly folks, adults, and kids and toddlers making use of it

Hell the POSTMAN who comes by for mail, sat on it in the video.

Its just a win. Its the most whplesome net positive ever

And I wanna do something like that some day

Kinda losing it right now, finding kindle specific stickers on my local flea market was definitely NOT on my 2026 bingo card lmao (let alone at half a dollar)

Sadly the amount of smut stickers was almost half of the bunch??? (Left pile on 3rd pic btw)

I would appreciate it but sadly is just not my thing 🤣 But that Jesus sticker is hilarious and I'm keeping it for sure 😂😂😂

my favourite part of ao3 not having an algorithm is that i can click on any random fic, out of whatever curiosity (morbid or otherwise) i may have on a whim, knowing I won't spend the next three months having ''similar'' content constantly shoved in my face in a desperate attempt to keep me engaged while i stab the not interested button over and over with a growing rage bubbling beneath my skin

Harassment Spam Bot Alert!

Date posted: November 12, 2025

AO3 has recently seen a rise in guest spambot comments making false accusations about work creators or other users. For example, they may claim that a particular user is discriminating against minorities, trying to hide the fact that they use AI, or are at risk of having their works stolen or deleted.

These comments often copy existing AO3 usernames in order to make their accusations seem more legitimate. They may also try to lure people onto other platforms (similar to the art commission scam), or use fake links that actually lead to pornographic images.

As always, we recommend that you do not click on any suspicious links or give your contact information to scammers. Instead, simply mark the comments as spam or report them so that the Policy & Abuse committee can remove comments left by these spambots.

Learn how to recognize them and what to do below the cut!

How to recognize this kind of spam:

The comments come from guests, not logged-in users.

The comments may start with praise for you and your writing, trying to lull you into a false sense of security. Or they may claim that you are a bad writer, trying to make you too upset to realize that the comments are fake.

The comments may accuse you or another user of promoting discriminatory beliefs, deceiving fans, or similar behaviors that might cause other people to shun or harass the accused individual. They may claim that they checked social media to find that the accused user is "brazenly sharing hateful content" or "bragging about using AI".

The comments are often pleading or angry, asking you to "stop lying to your readers", "don't remove the AI prompts from your work", or suggesting that you "consider adding more diverse characters" to "repair the trust you've lost with your audience".

So far, these comments have all been from guests. Our advice is to flag them as spam to better filter them out.

To help train our automated spam-checker to block similar guest comments in the future:

If the comment is on your own work:

Go directly to the comment on your work, either by clicking on the link in your email or in your AO3 inbox.

Click on the "Spam" button to mark the guest comment as spam and remove it from your work.

Note: The "Spam" button only appears when viewing a guest comment directly on your work. This is because the AO3 comment inbox is merely a copy of the work's comments – deleting a comment from your AO3 inbox does not delete the comment from the work itself.

If you see comments like these on someone else's work:

Feel free to let the creator know the comment is from a bot, and that they should mark it as spam.

You can also report the comments as botspam via the Policy Questions & Abuse Reports form linked at the bottom of every page on AO3.

If you are reporting multiple guest comments, please submit only one report, and include all comment links in your report description. (You can get the direct link to any comment by clicking the "Thread" button on the comment, and then copying the URL of that page.)

[transformativeworks]

As of December 2025, bots have also left guest comments harassing users by:

threatening to report you/your fic to the authorities or your employers

alleging security concerns like your email being compromised or spyware on your computer

claiming that they know your address and are going to visit you at your house

saying that you will die alone and unemployed over the holidays

What these bots claim is not true. These accusations do not mean your work will be deleted or that your accounts are insecure. We recommend that you mark these comments as spam following the instructions in our previous post.

These examples also do not represent the full range of harassment comments that you may receive. We will continue to try and keep you updated about trends; however, please note that the exact wording the bots use will continue to evolve.

If you're not sure if something is a spambot comment, you're welcome to contact Policy & Abuse for assistance. Refer to the original post for more information!

[allthingswhumpyandangsty]

hey so. don't do this. being a minor doesn't give you an excuse to be an entitled piece of shit. if you're old enough to use the internet and communicate with strangers online, you're old enough to know basic manner. fanfic writers write for themselves, they don't owe you anything. you’re privileged enough to read their works for free. either be respectful to them or shut the hell up.

to clarify, this didn’t happen to me. I found it on twitter and it made my blood boil

by the way, if you talk like this to a stranger in real life, you might get a black eye. I don’t condone violence, but sometimes if you fuck around, you’ll find out. it’s one thing to joke like this with your friend, someone you’re close with. but a stranger? know your boundaries.

(X)

[bane-amesta]

Shit like this will make me immediately mute and block the little asshole. I don't care if you love my fic and you're my best reader in the universe. But since I can't slap the rudeness via the internet, I might as well deny you to the rest of the fic forever.

Learn some manners dammit.

[kkglinka]

This is a Moving Forward PSA for everyone using AO3. I am witnessing the results of a culture clash and communication failure. Not a lack of communication, but a misunderstanding caused by changes in fandom culture.

Before fic tagging was common, fics weren’t tagged. You had a pairing, if applicable, an author’s note about genre or general content, and if they were feeling charitable, a vague content warning. There are even a few genres of fic where even vaguely tagging literally spoils the plot and impact (such as horror, psyche thriller, in which the likely content is implicit to the genre). As a result, there is a basic category tag that permits this, as a courtesy to “old-fashioned” writers.

“No Archive Warnings Apply” means the fic is PG13 at worst, probably fluff, totally safe.

“Choose Not to Use Archive Warnings” is the polar opposite. It’s a glaring Enter at Your Own Risk billboard. It means: a shitload of warnings apply but I ain’t telling because this story requires shock value. It’s very important to read the author’s notes for those fics because they might be using that older format from above.

But without the context of fandom culture that generated AO3, it’s understandably easy to conflate the two categories, given their similar wording.

[mrv3000]

“No Archive Warnings Apply” means there’s no

graphic depictions of violence

major character death

underage

rape/non-con

“Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings” =  HERE BE DRAGONS. (implies that one or more of the above exists, but the author doesn’t want to give anything away by tagging)

[kaluawoo]

“Creator Chose Not To Warn” means there may or may not be anything.

There could be all 4.

There could be none.

There could be “Does it count as Major Character Death if the character is already dead at the start, then returns as a ghost, and fades by the end?” or other things where the author wasn’t sure if an Archive Warning applied or not.

“No Archive Warnings Apply” meanwhile definitely has none of the four warnings, but that doesn’t mean it’s PG13 Fluff - it could, for example, be a Porn Without Plot Orgy scene, or it could be an angsty whump story, etc. It can be anything, as long as it involves no graphic violence, non-con, underage sex, or major character death.

[the-haiku-bot]

“Creator Chose Not

[bane-amesta]

Ok so I was extremely confused after reading this, which means I almost posted a question before remembering to do my research.

And, in AO3 Edit tags section, I found this:

And in the middle of those, this one:

I hope this helps to anyone who needs it, but we gotta admit the wording of both options is a bit too similar at first glance.

Maybe I'm too noob and I don't have all the knowledge so probably that's on me, and I appreciate the detailed info on AO3's page, but damn it wasn't exactly easy to find lol, no wonder these kind of things happen from time to time

Anyways, brb I need to fix some tags, lol
