Here's a test case: Re: Glidos 1.59 not working on Win 98 SE. The only thing the post does is regurgitate AI tokens. By a fair reading of the rule and intent it's at best unclear whether it would count as a violation if posted now, in other words whether it's worth posting. The post is useful to the community, but there's no explicit exception for usefulness, the intent is pro human dynamics and AI is framed as being opposite to it. If the AI post were allowed under discretion the line would begin to blur.

The rules serve as a justification for removing content if and when it starts rubbing people the wrong way, there won't be a black and white document exploring all potential test cases and you will have to be comfortable being in a grey area while no-one complains.

Just giving an example of slop-posts we do not want:

Windows 95 was a pivotal moment in the history of computing, marking a transition into a new era of user-friendly interfaces. When Microsoft released this operating system on August 24, 1995, it changed the way we interact with machines and paved the way for the modern internet.

The Power of the Start Button
One of the most iconic features of Windows 95 was the "Start" button. This simple yet effective tool allowed users to navigate their programs with ease. It organized the workspace and made it possible for anyone to become a computer expert.

Enhanced Connectivity and Performance
With the introduction of Plug and Play technology, Windows 95 made it easier to connect hardware devices. Additionally, its 32-bit architecture provided a significant boost in performance compared to previous versions like Windows 3.1.

A Global Phenomenon
The marketing campaign for Windows 95 was massive, featuring the "Start Me Up" song by the Rolling Stones. This helped the operating system become a household name, transforming the PC from a business tool into a central part of every home.

In conclusion, Windows 95 was not just an update; it was a revolution. Its legacy continues to live on in the operating systems we use today, such as Windows 11. What are your favorite memories of using this legendary software?

I'm surprised people can't figure out what the rules mean, it's pretty clearly written 🤔

#1 No drive-by promotion
#2 No AI slop post/topic content

I think everyone get it but vvbee just wants to parse the rules because he/she is a true believer in the AI hype

Is like youtube, i like to have music in background while work coding, like functional music, but youtube became a big crap, is full of music created by AI, and people that post videos did not care to say "IA Content" to avoid

I prefer winamp and my old mp3 compilations
