Mass deletion of AI-generated content

Hi Farid,

I'm sorry to inform you that the RACKWiki team has decided to revert your contributions. Upon reviewing some of your articles, we noticed several factual errors. We do not have the resources to review and correct all of your articles, and we cannot trust their accuracy, so we have removed them all. We did not make this decision lightly, but decided that it had to be done to protect RACKWiki.

Given the scale of your contributions, it's clear to us that you were generating articles using an LLM. While we do not yet have an AI policy (we'll approve one at our next board meeting), we have a mission of harm reduction through education. We are dedicated to giving kinksters the most accurate information possible, so we cannot accept unverified AI-generated content. We were also alarmed to see you inventing new policies for incident reports without consulting us, and found that many of your new articles are outside the scope of RACKWiki (e.g. amino acids).

We do believe you were working in good faith and honestly trying to improve the wiki. We really do appreciate that, and we hope that you will make more edits and contributions based on your own knowledge and research.

I want to clarify several points regarding the decision to remove my contributions.

Using artificial intelligence for validation and writing is not an error; it is a tool.

In producing articles, I used AI to cross‑check sources, compare data against reputable medical and pharmacological databases, identify inconsistencies, and standardise citation formats. Given the sheer volume of data and diversity of sources in fields such as pharmacology, physiology, and law, manually verifying every single claim is time‑consuming and prone to human error. AI can process thousands of articles and sources in seconds, flag contradictions, and highlight which claims need human review. In this method, the final decision and confirmation of accuracy still rest with a human; AI simply increases speed and precision.

Therefore, the problem is not the use of AI, but rather the absence of a defined review process before publication. If RACKWiki had such a process from the start, any potential errors would have been caught and corrected at that stage.

Regarding “several factual errors”

I ask you to specify exactly which articles and which sections contained errors. I do not intend to defend my mistakes, but I need concrete evidence to correct them. A general claim of “several factual errors” without specific examples helps neither me nor the improvement of the wiki.

Incident report pages

What I created were proposed templates and sample structures, not binding policies. If the team wishes to maintain full control over this section, I completely respect that; however, removing all contributions wholesale due to a misunderstanding seems disproportionate.

My proposal for the future

Instead of blanket removal, we could establish a content review committee. Future contributions by me and other users could be reviewed through a transparent process. I can also help draft an official AI policy one that, rather than prohibiting the technology, defines its responsible use alongside human oversight. We all share the same goal providing the most accurate information to reduce harm in the community. I hope that through dialogue, we can reach a solution that preserves the wiki’s credibility while making the best use of technological tools.

Many of your articles contained errors. One example from the shock collar article is in the wireless security section. You added completely incorrect information about common frequencies; while some shock collars use 433 MHz, 2.4 GHz is not very common, and most common collars from Dogtra and Sportdog use neither. You also removed a functional GitHub citation and replaced it with a hallucinated link to a nonexistent GitHub repository. Arubberdog (talk) 10:40, 13 August 2026 (PDT)

I have reviewed the examples you cited, and I need to clarify a few points.

First, regarding the 2.4 GHz frequency. This frequency is actually common in the real market for dog training products, especially in wireless fence systems that include training collars. Well‑known brands such as BHCEY, TeqHome, PetCove, howfateam, Goldkaii/NBSUN, and FULUPET all offer models operating at 2.4 GHz, widely available on platforms like Amazon. My statement was therefore not technically false; the main error was in generalisation and phrasing. A more precise version would have been “Common frequencies in traditional remotes include 433 MHz, while some wireless fence systems and lower‑cost models use 2.4 GHz.” That is an editorial imprecision, not a fabricated fact.

Another point that must be addressed is the claim that pages on amino acids are outside RACKWiki’s scope. In the RACK framework, a dominant is responsible for the physical and psychological well‑being of their partner. Lack of knowledge about substances such as amino acids, supplements, and drug interactions can directly lead to serious harm. For example, L‑arginine and L‑citrulline are precursors of nitric oxide and can lower blood pressure; combining them with poppers or PDE5 inhibitors dramatically increases the risk of hypotension and fainting. Without this knowledge, a dominant might unknowingly design a scene that ends in cardiovascular collapse.Similarly, recognising common mental health conditions such as PTSD, dissociative disorders, or bipolar disorder is essential for managing emotional reactions during a scene. A person experiencing a panic attack or freeze may be unable to use a safeword. An informed dominant can recognise these signs and prevent severe psychological harm. This is precisely the goal of RACK harm reduction through education.

I invested a great deal of time and effort in these contributions. Each page was written with a specific perspective, an educational purpose, and was based on scientific or medical sources. If errors existed, as could happen with any contributor, the correct approach is review and targeted correction not blanket removal.

My proposal is simple and logical, establish a content review mechanism in which each article is checked by a knowledgeable editor before publication. This process responsibly uses tools like AI alongside human oversight, rather than rejecting them outright.

I am not asking for my pages to be restored, but I expect an assessment of my work to be documented and case‑by‑case, not arbitrary and wholesale. Farid (talk) 11:50, 13 August 2026 (PDT)

The process you're asking for is just not how wikis work. Everyone contributing to RACKWiki needs to take accountability for what they add. While AI can be a useful tool for research and copyediting, using it to create entire articles with factual errors and broken links isn't a suitable use case, especially when doing so stomps over the hard work of other contributors.

I would also appreciate if you stop using a LLM to make your points here, as this is not helpful to anyone involved. We're humans here and would like to be able to speak to you as one. Ideally, your responses would be in the form of haiku or rhyme, but I understand if that's not suitable. Arubberdog (talk) 17:50, 13 August 2026 (PDT)

I take accountability for the two specific errors you mentioned the frequency wording and the broken link. Those were my mistakes, and I should have caught them before publishing. But I do not accept the framing that my entire body of work was unreliable, or that using AI for drafting is inherently wrong. AI is a tool. It can produce excellent drafts, but it needs human review.

You said that using AI to create entire articles "stomps over the hard work of other contributors." I understand that concern, and I regret if my edits overwrote existing work. However, many of my pages were created from scratch, not replacing anything. Deleting all of them because of two errors is disproportionate.

I will not accept being branded as someone who produced untrustworthy content, because the majority of what I wrote was sourced and structured carefully. Farid (talk) 05:42, 14 August 2026 (PDT)
