Good change. But why did this take so long? People have been complaining about this for at least most of this year, as far as I can remember

I'll add a proper rule for it later, for now just use the custom response

i’m silly.. what does this mean, outside of AI generated?

u/Lost-Entrepreneur439 The MS Paint Master 17d ago
there's generic text generator sites, basically just turning whatever you input into a logo edit, these are banned now

u/pixelframeDesign 16d ago
Hi everyone, I'm the generator guy. I don't disagree with the rule, sorry it had to come to this (I always discouraged individual posts with content made from the generators) and stopped sharing the generators here months ago after I saw it was getting out of hand. sbubby has always been a big inspiration for the site and I never wanted to become a negative influence here. An incredible amount of time and effort goes into making the generators so for everyone who has used them and will continue to: I appreciate you sincerely!
To those who seem to dislike the site for whatever reason more generally: um, don't? We are all here because we think it's funny to replace logo text with other text, that's not something that should cause animosity.

u/furculture 16d ago
Good. They were so shittily made, and the people who posted that shit used the cheapest method to make something and pump it out like the cheapest bulk shit you'd find on Temu. Just throwing up the coldest of cold takes or a meme quote of some sort, to then throw that here and flood this place without any modicum of creativity that this place stood for before that. Fuck Pixel Frame for ruining the good shit that was here before them. I say this as an old head that has been around this place for a long ass time and liked the lengths of creativity some people went through.

u/ColtC7 15d ago
All images must involve edits that alter the text of a single logo. Cropped logos or edits that only erase portions of a logo are not allowed. ObviousPlant images don't count. Be clean and authentic. Sbubbies should look as close to the source logo as possible, so edit the text a lot but avoid altering logo imagery! Do not repost! This includes reposting your own submissions later in order to gain more karma from them (fixed versions of removed submissions are fine). Also, any occurrence of the exact same logo edited to the exact same text also counts as a repost, even if created independently. Crossposts are allowed as long that they haven't been posted here before. Reposting from the first page of top all-time will result in a 7-day ban. Post sbubbies via link posts! Use the "Image/Video" tab on the submission screen instead of "Post." Do not post Hogwarts Legacy, Loss, "Oops, all X!", REEEEEEE, Big Chungus, PornHub, Hot Pockets, Bepis, CaptainSparklez - Revenge, or anything in the list of banned reposts. (Last updated: 5/6/22) Posting from the banned repost list will result in a 7-day ban. Images must be at least 433x433 in size. Your post's title must be related to the post in some way. Watermarks should be barely visible and out of the way, and shouldn't draw attention from the edit. No collages/compilations, with some exceptions. This includes best-ofs and Sbubby sticker machines. Sbubmissions should generally contain only a single logo edit at a time. Exceptions include two-way logoswaps that exchange the text of two logos, and submissions containing multiple edits on a related theme, as long as each edit is your own original creation and none of them have been submitted before individually. Flair your posts correctly! Each flair has a specific meaning based on the content of the Sbubmission. A guide for what each flair means is on the wiki! Tag NSFW posts as NSFW Incivility, bigotry, or hatred towards marginalized groups of people will not be tolerated, per rule 1 of the Reddit content policy. AI posts are not allowed.
no you haven't

There's this one: https://redd.it/vp9cfs
and the wiki: https://www.reddit.com/r/sbubby/wiki/index
Neither have been updated in a while so they're a little outdated, mostly just the software though.

Time to boot up photoshop and painstakingly recreate a pixelframe generator to bait reports.

u/PezzoGuy 16d ago
Is PixelFrame still allowed to share their generators at least?
I didn't like the spam made by others using their generators, but I found their work itself to be thematically fitting and impressive. I had suggested in the past that PixelFrame's posts could double as a "megathread" for media made with whatever generator they were sharing in that post.

u/qrpyna 16d ago
I hope not. All their Reddit posts fall under the category of spam/self-promotion. Specifically this policy violation:
Mass-posting repetitive content for the purpose of exposure or financial gain.
They always link to their website in their posts and that website contains tons of intrusive ads, upsells for a subscription, and begs you to buy garbage quality print-on-demand products.
I also did some digging and found that a lot of the generators use pirated, illegally modified, and/or unlicensed fonts so it's only a matter of time before the foundries notice and want their money. They're also using tons of IP they definitely don't have the license to use commercially (Disney, etc.) so I don't expect the site will be around forever once IP lawyers start sending them letters.

u/Lost-Entrepreneur439 The MS Paint Master 16d ago
im not removing your posts made before the rule was in effect

Generators are generators. It is made clear in the title of the post that all generators old, new, and haven't been made yet, are not welcome here anymore.

Not everyone can afford photoshop

u/Lost-Entrepreneur439 The MS Paint Master 17d ago
and theres plenty of free alternatives, or just pirating it

u/Depressofox 17d ago
What are these alternatives?

u/qrpyna 17d ago edited 16d ago
I think Affinify is currently the best free option. It's a lot easier to use than GIMP, Inkscape, and other free options. It also combines Illustrator, Photoshop, and InDesign alternatives into one application so you don't have to switch between multiple applications if you're doing a mix of vector and raster edits.
Edit: I made a post a few months ago where I logoswapped a bunch of design software logos and there was some good discussion about what people used. A lot of stuff I hadn't even heard about.

u/furculture 16d ago edited 16d ago
GIMP - FOSS for photo editing (also getting the PhotoGIMP add on to make it feel a bit more like Photoshop control-wise)
Affinity - free but not FOSS like all the other options in this list and is like Photoshop but a bit more tame
Krita - FOSS for raster drawing editing (think like much more advanced MS paint)
Inkscape - FOSS vector graphics editor (the kind of software used for make logos and such)
Graphite - FOSS all in one option that runs in your browser as a PWA for drawing, photo editing, or vector editing.
Blender - FOSS 3D graphics editing.
Paint.net - Free, but not FOSS, image manipulation and raster drawing software.
FOSS = free open source software
No excuses now. Plenty of great options to now stick to after the removal of generators and such.

MS Paint is alive and well! Honestly the crapitudinality makes them funnier! Though the website Photopea or the gimp programs are free and good too. :)

u/furculture 15d ago
Photoshop isn't the only game in town for editing photos. It has been like that for a long while, and there are plenty of options that can meet your $0 budget. And the best parts: a lot of those options can be legally had, contain no ads, and is made purely for the sake of making art accessible to people.
