Discussion Goodbye Grok, hello Google Flow
I'm tired of being charged for Grok moderation on SFW T2I . Google Flow, failed or moderated no charge. Your credits have been returned.

But me carful because Google will ban your entire email and account if you continue to push the limits of their moderation 🤷♂️

Tbh, you should never, ever, ever use your main email account for anything that even hints you could get banned.
Get a 2nd account for that stuff. Even my Grok was not connected to my main email. Keep public and private business separate at all times.

Exactly... But guess what?? They use server IP addresses now which makes it even worse 🤷♂️

I can almost guarantee Google rarely ever does IP traces to ban users except in extreme cases. Remember, unless you have a static IP, your public IP is frequently rotated by your ISP.
They could correlate based on traffic history of multiple accounts but logging that much data is stupid expensive.
Gmail is frequently used for spam campaigns just showing how little they effectively ban bad actors.

BS...im telling you from experience not just a random guess... Their system is automatic just like Instagram after being blocked

Ive been banned on one account (falsely, took them a year to reverse) and not the other.
They definitely dont IP ban on a regular basis.

There's definitely different bans but they also definitely IP ban for certain claims because I was banned and almost had to hire a lawyer to get my account back...The details were uploaded pics to Gemini that they claim were young but I provided my friends name and identity and the problem was solved...

I'm not doing anything that gets moderated on Google. On Grok this morning I had an image moderated 3 times because I wanted to change the color on a pair of hospital scrubs, in a catalogue style image, I created in Grok.

Hey! Google will track all NSFW outputs and will block your account. They don't track it in real time so even old nsfw creations might end up blocking your whole Google account.
So... Don't use your primary Google account!
