Smogon Simple Questions Thread

I'm a new pokemon showdown player and for some reason my account is locked. (Username is Kingsly16_07) Some one the internet say it may because I share a connection to locked player but I use a college network which is the only I have avaliable. Is there anyway to get my account unlocked? Is it possibly due to it being a new account?
 
Not sure if this is the place to ask, but I didn't want to just DM staff about it because the answer should probably be public.

Re: the recent announcement about AI art: is this banning the use of AI in an "official" capacity (site projects, art threads, PS! avatars, etc)? Or is it just banning any and all AI (forum avatars, smogoff shitposts, etc)? Lots of circumstantial evidence towards the former, but the phrasing is very vague.

For the record, I also think there should be a rule against AI plagiarism and would much rather have our very talented community contributing art to those things!! It's just not really relevant to like, posting memes.

Since we don't require artist credits for forum profile pictures/banners or memes being posted (key word require, there's still plenty of artists out there that would very much prefer to be credited on any use of their works), there is not going to be a ban on AI-generated versions of those. You can argue that simply posting something from an AI source is unethical and counterproductive to the artist community as a whole, but it's not something we plan on moderating.

There is an existing writing related AI plagiarism rule, we just haven't gotten to updating them for art as well.
