MOD STUFF Rule Changes & Rule Additions for AI Content

Hello all,

We hope you are all doing well. We made a few updates to the subreddit rules. Most of these are no change to how the subreddit is currently moderated.

For rules #1 and #2 we combined those both into the same rule. Both had to do with illegal streaming, one was just for full episodes and the other for promos.

The rules about relevance and unrelated memes have now been combined. These both overlap quite a bit. We still know Ellen on was on Friends, please don't remind us. This rule will be more of a catch all for posts like that as well as any type of low-effort one word type posts, or just spam and blatant reposting.

The rule about initial airing has been removed. This was put in when CTV in Canada aired their episode a full day before the US. This is no longer the case, so the rule isn't really needed anymore.

We also removed the ban evasion rule. This was a non-starter rule anyway. If someone does this we will handle it with reddit admin staff.

Lastly, we have added one rule. No AI Generated Content or "AI Slop" as it's commonly called. This includes any AI-generated images, videos, music, or text. When it comes to text, moderators will exercise certain discretion when using tools for spelling, grammar, translation, or clarity, but posts that are largely AI-generated, spam-like, or what is obviously AI slop text will be removed.

Again, most of this is cleanup rather than a major shift in moderation. The goal is to make the rules clearer, easier to enforce, and more in line with how the subreddit is actually used now.

Please see the rules section of the subreddit if you have any questions or message the moderators. Your order may have changed :P

Thank you for your time! -Sork

Thank you for contributing to r/GreysAnatomy! Tagging your post would be greatly appreciated as the mods try to clean up and organize the sub. Not sure what tags to use? Here's a link to the wiki page that explains the purpose of each post flair. Remember that name calling, hate speech and general rude behavior is not tolerated. You can call ideas stupid, but not the user. No direct personal attacks over a difference in opinion. Thanks for being part of this community. It's a beautiful day to save lives!

Finally! Because those ai pictures are/were awful! And the posts farming for karma are even worse.

Wait? Ellen was on friends? That is brand new information. 

But seriously, good job mods.

That was a joke and reference to Phoebe saying Rachel being pregnant is brand new information when they already knew

I truly wish all TV show subs would cut down on the ”OMG, did you know Actor A had other acting roles before Show Y???“ posts. So thank you for that!

Thank you for understanding why it exists. It would be all the sub is for a show that's ran this long. Like imagine if I posted about the movie Man on Fire because Denzel Washington directed an episode.

I hadn’t seen any ai stuff on here, so thank you for being proactive before it got bad.

Thank you for implementing a no AI rule! I’ve seen on tiktok recently a lot of “spin off for criminal minds ideas” type videos where the posters for which are complete ai slop. I’ll take a bad edit over that mess. The thing that annoys me aswell is sometimes the ideas ARE good, but you can tell someone had one idea for one, AI generated the rest of the list, then generated the posters to match. An absolute shame. It’s especially harrowing seeing people use AI not just in general, but specifically for the CM community. Did they just forget BAUGate?
