Recently I saw a post of someone making a pixel art of Shrek on the main page. It was removed the next day I checked.
It was made by someone with a bronze rank.
https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/N2U3H2/Rick-Astley
This link above is a pixel art of Rick Astley. It is in the similar context of "just copy pasting a pic into simple planes". It has an absurd upvote number of 437. The person who made it is of gold rank. It is even upvoted by moderators. Even a dev. Why hasn't this been removed, if its just a low effort copy paste like the Shrek.
In fact the Shrek post was of higher resoultion.
IDK though, thats just what I noticed.
Edit: if pixel art posts are against the rules, could someone point out which part of the rules.
@Bummer well, guess the only way to know what happened is by asking a mod
@thisisdum i doubt the author would just delete the post when upvotes was pouring in. for a bronze rank it would be a lot to them. plus there were a lot of high ranks crying in the comments about how its low effort and spammy.
@Bummer how did you know if the Shrek artwork was taken down, could it be that the author of the post just deleted it?
@thisisdum if the script hasnt been taken down then how is making things out of it against the rules. Whats the point of the script if the moderators remove the posts in the first place.
If they feel its spammy then then they should update the rules and take down the script.
here's my opinion, someone on this site made a script that can generate pixel art using blocks years ago, and it still hasn't been taken down, I really don't see the difference between the pixel art script and this situation.
@Defalt1 you can still make complex ones using this method though, also what are 2d graphic tags?
@thisisdum well a simple one maybe but not a complex one like shrek
@Defalt1 uhh, you can actually create images using labels and text only, with formatting of course.
@thisisdum You cant create a pixel art on the current existing text decal part, except if you are using an AI. if you want to see real example of 2D art you can use 2D Graphic tags
@Defalt1 uhh its probably not ai, how this was probably done, is by checking every single pixel in a image and using a program and outputting something that you put in the label.
@Defalt1 I didnt even know there was an AI to make pixel art on simple planes. What if someone claimed that it is manually made? How would the moderators react?
@Bummer That doesnt even make any sense, the rick roll one created manualy piece by piece not like shrek created by an AI
@Defalt1 Id like to debate on that. In fact rick one is little to no effort due to it being of lower resolution.
Would you like the feed to be spammed with label pixel art?
Although, yeah, it should be added to the rules if mods are removing that kind of stuff. Because the only mention of that is the post on the whole Andrewism situation.
Both are different, the shrek one is lazy and the rick one actually takes effort to make
The rick astley one was made long before labels, the guy who made it actually placed every part manually. Also, you can make hyperlinks like this:
It’s cool and all, but since it consists of nothing more than a cockpit and a label, it was removed (probably) for being spam.
