I think that was the plan, but then things got back to normal. IIRC it came down to "text can't be autotranslate/copypaste (Eliza & better chatbots are fine) & character count > 10, it counts.

I don't think there are any set rules tho, because 'soon as you have rules, someone alway finds a loophole & exploits it, so it's up to everybody to tell everybody what to maybe not do, but BadBear wields the banhammer.
Something like that, that's the way it was explained to me.
