This is a Lemmy Community for perchance.org, a platform for sharing and creating random text generators.

Feel free to ask for help, share your generators, and start friendly discussions at your leisure :)

This community is mainly for discussions between those who are building generators. For discussions about using generators, especially the popular AI ones, the community-led Casual Perchance forum is likely a more appropriate venue.

Please only post about perchance related stuff like generators on it, bugs, and the site.

5. Refrain from requesting Prompts for the AI Tools.

We would like to ask to refrain from posting here needing help specifically with prompting/achieving certain results with the AI plugins (text-to-image-plugin and ai-text-plugin) e.g. "What is the good prompt for X?", "How to achieve X with Y generator?"
See Perchance AI FAQ for FAQ about the AI tools.
You can ask for help with prompting at the 'sister' community Casual Perchance, which is for more casual discussions.
We will still be helping/answering questions about the plugins as long as it is related to building generators with them.

[Suggestion] Profile Picture In Comment's & Images (self.perchance)

submitted 7 months ago by Cocell to c/perchance

4 comments fedilink hide all child comments

Dear Perchance Dev, I would like to make another request. It is about profile pictures and images. The process is simple, a user could be allowed to have a profile picture, this could be done via having a image uploaded to a CDN (Content Delivery Network) such as Perchance's own, or through other image hosting platform.

Just like how nicknames are set, a user profile could be set from the settings defined. The profile pictures could even be animated gif or WebP.

(Optional) However, the admins should have at least the ability to hide individual users' profile picture, as some users may choose to use inappropriate pictures which could be potentially harmful to many.

The image upload could be achieved using a similar method; linking an already uploaded image. Uploading images directly to Perchance's server might put a heavy load, thus linking them through link might be a better option. There should be another button for the image(s) to be linked.

Thank you very much.

I think the Dev had already thinking about this idea of avatars/profie pictures a long while ago...

I would also probably suggest that if you have a Perchance account, you would have a set tag (no longer changes based on the IP), also the tag can also be replaced by the custom avatar. This can also be useful to ban outright the user who has Perchance account, instead of just banning their connection IP (since if they change their IP they can still comment compared to banning their 'account' outright).

Not saying that it is the 'absolute' solution to bans, but it can also help the Dev to track mis-using users with accounts (or those who are inappropriately behaving in Perchance).

I have a question, what about private windows and logging out? Since they won't be in their account, I think this still requires banning IPs.

[–] VioneT 2 points 7 months ago

It is only for those with accounts, those not logged in, without accounts, can still be banned with IP.

Probably the perks of having an account would be the custom avatars and consistent tags. You can still be anonymous if you logged out or use private windows.
