⚄︎ Perchance
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.

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-pluginandai-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.

MODERATORS
The dev could add slash in gallery admin, and make admin downvote -9999999
Well, I ate the sharpest tool in the crayon box, but I would half expect the person who made the site to be able to delete an image. You see, that's why I posted the idea for the dev to be able to get rid of it, or add an option to get rid of it, or make it a login thing as proof of ownership or something.
Well, thank you anyway :) but until I hear it from the dev I ain't giving up hope! I want to thank him or her for creating a truly free ai site, then subsequently ask him or her if there's anything that could be done about accidentally adding images in gallery.
So it's a no :( is it at least being looked into? I could at least contact the dev to see if he or she will look into it, just a little something to give me help. You could delete messages, you could even delete accounts, kind of... But one thing done out of curiosity is permanent! Sheesh, be careful what you do on Perchance.
I got another idea that seed could be in part of banned prompt phrase.
Or mix user with banned user ID.
There must be something make an image unique in the gallery - and with simple modification in gallery banned tools, we could ban a single post aka delete it.
And we're right back where we started. I do AI art, I don't make generators. I'm not as smart as the people here. I just want the image in the gallery deleted. but it's part of the URL, So I either find a way to get rid of that URL entirely, or I find someone who has a hand in Perchance's making. Like I said, I think I got in contact with the admin. All I can do now is wait and hope, all this over an image, dam my OCD!
The downvotes or blocks were mentioned in the discussion to hide the images from yourself, but if you are the creator/editor of the page you are referring to, you can add the hideIfScoreIsBelow = 999999 setting on the gallery options so that all images would be hidden from the gallery unless their upvote/downvote score is 999999.
Why not just remove the whole gallery or hide the gallery?
Is the page you've linked one that you can edit? Best way is you can delete the page and there is a very low chance of it being able to be chosen again as a new page. Essentially hiding the image unless someone creates the same page with the same URL since the images are tied to the URL of the page (essentially creating a folder on the server based on the URL and storing the images on there). @perchance pinging dev.
Any link to it, just resets everything! And my mistake image is still in the gallery problem, not solved! So, there's no real way of deleting the image from the gallery, Is there? I sent a similar message to the admin, but I'm not sure if he'll get back to me. At least tell me this, will you be looking into a way to delete or remove images from the gallery?
So, there’s no real way of deleting the image from the gallery, Is there?
Currently, there is no way. The image is not tied to the user.
will you be looking into a way to delete or remove images from the gallery?
I'm not the dev of the site, but a way to delete your images should be possible, unless there is some limitation in 'tying' the data into the account. Perchance doesn't really need for you to create an account, it is only there if you want to create and save your own pages/generators and it doesn't tie to the text to image gallery or any of the AI based generators.
Curiosity killed the cat, I wish I never put that image in the gallery. So the only way to get rid of the image is to get rid of the URL... And in doing so, delete the other image, the person who made it might want to keep... Can you put me in touch with the dev?
I would think the Dev is very busy at the moment. I've also linked the Dev's handle on the platform in my previous comment.
To solve this delete problem, may I suggest on Dev giving a maximum number of images within a gallery? So after reach the treshold, the oldest image will be automatically sent to server archive/removed. This should work for all current galleries too. Will this work?
Very busy, as I'm not the only one who wants to talk to him. In fact, he's so busy that most people's messages don't even get through.
I believe a lot of people want this delete feature (or something similar), including in the other perchance AI generator, such as: https://perchance.org/ai-text-to-image-generator
If a downvote is to move the order of the image to bottom (although doesnt really work if that image is the only image in the gallery). Perhaps the closest way to delete is to block a user. If you click the block botton, there is a pop up notification that says: "Block all images from this user? Note: If enough people block a user, their images will not show up in the gallery at all ...."
There is a hint that the image (unfortunately all images of one user) can sort of be deleted. Now the question is how many block/people to block needed to make the 'images will not show up'?
The vote scores are for the hideIfScoreIsBelow function on the gallery. So, if the votes cross a certain threshold, the image would be hidden. Blocks are for 'user-wide' hiding of images from a certain user.
if the votes cross a certain threshold, the image would be hidden
Lets say it cross a certain threshold, does the image hidden for myself or also for others?
For everyone, even the images you've sent.
If only we could contact the Dev, the maker of perchance. I've made the attempt, even got the email to go through, but so far no response. VioneT says the Dev is busy, What do you think?
I notice there are block button that says ‘if enough people block a user, their images won’t show up in the gallery at all’. How many people needed exactly to remove the images?
The block and downvote are different
Not sure, I haven't tested it myself and I can't find anything on the client-side code of the gallery so it might be handled server-side. @RudBo@lemmy.world might have an idea.
I have absolutely no idea
We can test here: https://perchance.org/mg95yjcpe0
Just comment on the comments plugin if you have blocked the image I sent.
As the dev of the site, do you have any information about any of the images posted, esp the hafling image? I.e. how many galleries created, how many people downvote or how many people block? Or which image receive most downvote?
Again, I'm not a dev of the site. I do not have any access to those data, which is why I'm asking for those that want to participate on that test to 'comment' on the comment sections. Since I've sent the 'halfling' image, it is permanently on my view, and those that blocked me (the user that sent it) will be able to hide it.
Currently we don't know the threshold of how many user blocks does it take for the image to be hidden for those who didn't block the user, which is the purpose of the test, so maybe this test can help a group of moderators to swarm block the inappropriate gallery poster and have their images hidden from other people's view.
On the how many people downvote/upvote, you can manually change the hideIfScoreIsBelow property of the gallery settings to check if the images are hidden after a certain value of hideIfScoreIsBelow, essentially getting its score, but on the 'blocked' user, there isn't a way, thus the test.
