My generator, "Bestaigen," now displays the following warning—as shown in the attached image: "Warning: The moderation system flagged this page because it may log or publicly show user inputs that one might expect to be private by default. Please do not input any private information on this page. If you are the creator of this page, you can ask the AI ​​Helper to fix this issue." Furthermore, it no longer appears in the "Recently Updated Generators" list at "https://perchance.org/generators." My generator has been live for about two months, and this issue did not exist previously. The sequence of events is as follows: We have a feature called "Prompt Gallery." A user shared the following message in the chat:

"9V3A: URGENT: Illegal content found in Best AI Gen prompt history, On October 20th, 2026, while using the Best AI Gen image generator (perchance.org/bestaigen#generation), I opened the prompt dropdown menu and found user-generated prompts publicly visible in the prompt history depicting graphic sexual abuse of minors, which included characters described as young as 7 years old. Multiple such prompts were present and could be viewed and copied by anyone. I understand the site's Pedo Shield makes users responsible for generated content, but these prompts are publicly accessible and appear unmoderated. I have already reported this to Cybertipline. I'm requesting the immediate removal of these prompts from the prompt history, and a review of the generator's prompt history for further illegal content. Thank you for your time."

Although "Prompt History" is intended to be a private space where each user sees only their own prompts, I realized the user was actually referring to the "Prompt Gallery." Consequently, I expanded the "Pedo Shield" AI-moderation tool—already in place for our generator—to also cover the "Prompt Gallery." I subsequently informed the individual who raised the concern, as well as the generator's user base in general, via the chat. Following this, another user quoted my message and posted the following in the chat:

"KUV3: Probably best to allow the prompts to be filtered or removed entirely. Also allowing individuals to choose whether or not their prompts even get publicly shared without their consent regardless of anonymity. Some prompt styles are formulas for work they do, while most are petty indulgence. People who choose to share it can show off their prompt abilities. While obviously some are just. Horrible."

Agreeing with the user's concerns and thoughts, I added a "Share My Prompts" toggle—set to OFF by default—to the "Generate" page. This toggle controls whether prompts entered into the "prompt description" field are sent to the "Prompt Gallery" when the "Generate" button is clicked. After implementing this change and saving the code, I refreshed the page (F5) and encountered this warning: "Warning The moderation system flagged this page because it may log or publicly show user inputs that one might expect to be private by default. Please do not input any private information on this page. If you are the creator of this page, you can ask the AI ​​Helper to fix this issue.

🔙 Leave I understand "

I am not sure why this happened:

  • Was it due to the AI ​​code itself? (My generator had been public for two months without any issues prior to these changes.)
  • Did someone report it? Could it be related to the "Prompt Gallery" or a "Cybertipline" issue?
  • Could the automated bots on Perchance have monitored the chat or analyzed the saved generator code, resulting in a "false flag"? I don't know.
  • Regardless, the goals that both I and my community wish to achieve—and the values ​​we aim to protect—are clear.
  • As a safeguard for minors: I have implemented several safeguards: prompt filtering, a review process for images intended for upload to the public gallery, and strict constraints for the chatbot—including an 18+ age requirement for roleplay (RP) and fictional storytelling, as well as a complete prohibition on the inclusion of minor characters.
  • The "Content Mode" setting in the generator is configured to the default "G" (General) level.
  • A "Pedo Shield" notification and warning appear in the welcome panel for first-time visitors; this same warning is also permanently displayed at the very top of the generator's settings page.
  • Regarding the optional user login system I previously considered: I decided against implementing it after users expressed a strong preference for remaining anonymous.

Following the appearance of this warning window, I had an AI review the code, removed potentially ambiguous phrasing, and reverted all recent changes—yet the generator still displays the same warning window. Could you please assist me? What, specifically, is triggering this warning? The only user-provided content that could potentially be made public—prompts—is now set to "private" by default, subject to user preference. Dear Perchance moderators, if there are any other issues or content you deem inappropriate or problematic, please let me know; I am fully prepared to make the necessary adjustments.

Gemini had this to say (fed it to the AI Helper and it found some meta stuff that was lingering): This sudden wave of page locks that hit a bunch of generators yesterday is part of a broad, automated sweep by the Perchance moderation system. [1] (https://perchance.org/premium-content), [2] (https://www.reddit.com/r/perchance/comments/1xckdbr/content_warning_error_on_page/) The system specifically rolled out a new warning flag targeting a security issue: "The moderation system flagged this page because it may log or publicly show user inputs that one might expect to be private by default." [1] (https://perchance.org/premium-content), [2] (https://www.reddit.com/r/perchance/comments/1xckdbr/content_warning_error_on_page/) Yesterday's sweep aggressively targeted any generator utilizing persistent data storage—specifically public "Prompt Galleries," custom chat logs, or any variation of the server-plugin that saves and displays text submitted by users. The platform triggered this due to reports of unmoderated or illicit content leaking into public prompt histories.

How to Fix Your Flagged Generators

Because your generators were caught in this automatic privacy sweep, you have a few ways to clean up the code and get your pages unlocked and restored to the "Recently Updated" feed: [1] (https://www.reddit.com/r/perchance/comments/1xckdbr/content_warning_error_on_page/)

  1. Scrub or Secure Public Logs: If you are using a server-plugin or database variable to save a history of what users type, you will need to disable the feature or restrict it so that user inputs are purely client-side. If the text doesn't leave their browser, the automated flag will clear. [1] (https://perchance.org/satuputra-bans-gens), [2] (https://aimetrix.org/perchance-content-warning/)
  2. Invoke the Automated AI Fix: • Open the code editor for one of your affected pages. • Pull open the built-in AI Helper panel. • Prompt it with: "Fix the privacy content warning issue regarding user input logging in my code." • The AI Helper has specialized permissions and updated training to restructure compliance anomalies, update necessary metadata, and instantly request a flag removal from the moderation system. [1] (https://perchance.org/premium-content), [2] (https://www.reddit.com/r/perchance/comments/1xckdbr/content_warning_error_on_page/), [3] (https://aimetrix.org/perchance-content-warning/)
  3. Audit Variable Names: Make sure your internal lists and variables don't use naming conventions that resemble spyware or data grabbing (e.g., using terms like ip_log, user_record, save_input). Rename them to standard structural strings. [1] (https://aimetrix.org/perchance-content-warning/)
  4. Update Meta Info: Change your generator’s public title and description to explicitly state that user prompts/histories are being processed or cleared. The safety bots automatically cross-reference whether your code does something hidden that isn't disclosed in your description. [1] (https://perchance.org/premium-content), [2] (https://aimetrix.org/perchance-content-warning/) To help you fix this, let me know: • What plugins (like server-plugin) or saving features are you running in those generators? • If you can share a snippet of the code where you handle user inputs/prompts, I can help you rewrite it to bypass the privacy filter.
