Granted. The long-lost younger brother who just moved in is far worse.

I wish spambots were only able to spam their creators.

Granted! Your aim is now so consistent that you get a false ban for cheating 

I wish that my older brother would stop getting mad at me when we play video games

Look I may be jumping to conclusions here but can we not make an image generator for the editor? that is not where I want this to go. I suggested blank pieces for use of erasing and grouping, something simple, nothing more. I am not keen on the idea of fake art created by something scraping from the internet and plagiarizing. I have a huge stance against that, keep it out of NL.

Thanks GigaLem. I'm afk at the moment (on mobile) but I'll take a look at these at some point for sure.

Within a few days I'll be away to visit my friends in California. I'll be absent until then.

Here's the pieces, Curves were done by Plom510. While Plom and I are fine taking credit, this is meant to be a default set. dont rename this to gigalem_erasers or plom_erasers, and don't rename it as such in the "style.ini" file. just leaving it as "erasers" is fine for this case

It might be worth looking into whether there's some fairly easy route to create them as SVG (or another vector or code-based format) while still retaining the desired crisp pixel edges. That way, if you later decide that eg a 128x128, or perhaps 24x24, etc, is desirable, it's very quick to create one, just change some parameters and run the generator again. I've found this approach to be extremely productive for functional 3D models, I'd think some parallel exists for 2D.

Sounds like you have a clear idea of what's needed. Go ahead and create the set and we'll add it.

I can picture something like this
one each of a 1x1 2x2 4x4 8x8 16x16 32x32 & 64x64 block
Convex and Concave curves, 16x16,32x32 & 64x64
Slopes of the same size
Long slopes and curves 16x32
long piece resizable 4x16, piece can double as a ruler

So far, I haven't received any reports of registrations / posts being outright blocked when they shouldn't be. If anyone does encounter this, please let me know. I'm also reviewing the logs periodically to look for anything that was filtered but shouldn't have been, and haven't seen any.

We did have one case where a legitimate post got flagged for moderator review. This post was definitely not spam, and came from a long-time member of the forum. Nonetheless, I can see why an overly-cautious filter may have flagged this post. There's only been a handful of posts since the filter was installed, so it's hard to get a general idea of the trend of how often it will flag things - if it's frequently flagging legitimate posts I might need to rethink things (though perhaps the first thing to try here is seeing whether I can modify the plugin so that it only flags posts from newer users), if this seems to be a one-off or at least an uncommon occurance then I don't think it's a huge problem if a moderator has to approve a post every once in a while.
