I would rather complain about straight-from-generator images with obvious errors that no one bothers to fix.
Like this. It’s not so hard to fix at least the cutie mark, just get appropriate png from the internet.
I honestly believe the spamming happens (and will keep on) because people who do it thinks every generated image is worth posting since it looks not too bad. I kinda had similar thoughts when I just started generating, I was thinking like “this generated picture doesn’t look too bad, I don’t want to throw it away”.
It’s reasonable when it comes to human-made art because each artwork takes a lot of efforts and it might be too hard to discard even a failed piece. But this is becomes a bad habit when it comes to AI art.

The problem is, how to “enforce” that. If you make a “rule” to only post the best results, people will go “Oh, all my stuff is goat.” And then there is the issue that most users frankly, don’t care. Pictures with massive errors get voted to the high heavens because of lewd. Also, from what I have been told, most users don’t even go and look at the full pictures, only the previews and vote from there. So most quality issues go unnoticed.
My personal solution, would be to limit uploads to like 3 for every 24h. This is more than enough imho. Select your best of the best and upload that.

I have to agree that in the last months, the ratio of pony/anthro shifted hard. It is way more anthro these days than half a year ago. Maybe because uploaders left, maybe because new users like that more. Who knows. But like Meta_Void said, that what filters are for.

Yeah, I also think some daily upload limit would be a good idea and should improve the upload quality, preventing the spam of nearly identical pictures. As for the anthro, I just wish people would remember to tag it every time.
