I understand your point about teaching people how to fish, and I support your efforts to make this forum less spammed, however I have doubts, reasonable as far as I can see, that everyone can be taught. I mean, users which light_warrior reports in the Plagiarism and AI report threads make regular copy past and apparently they don't see any problem with this, despite the existence of many training and quality improving initiatives and help in understanding the rules of the forum, as well as opportunities to turn to senior users for advice.
Just because you can't improve everyone's post quality/habits, doesn't automatically mean that what 1miau/GazetaBitcoin (and others) are trying to do is completely useless and waste of time. Sure, we all know that majority of members (especially new ones) are essentially shitposters who came for one reason only, but every once in a while promising new member appears who needs just a little bit of help to improve and change the bad habits.

Those who think it's useless are actually useless. They are just too lazy to accept the truth and start learning. I too am lacking in terms of knowledge and quality, but at least I'm not afraid to learn further. At first, everyone is a shitposter. Nobody is born a quality poster. But those who are constantly trying to improve their posts become quality posters. That's how I see it.

1miau and Gazeta they are doing a magnificent job at teaching the forum. When I first joined the forum, I didn't even knew what BBcodes were! I though it was some kind of HTML code. Later when I translated a post for Gazeta, then I realized what Bbcodes were, how they worked. After that I learn of PGP keys, what there were, what their purpose were. The same way before.

Just because one think its useless doesn't mean its useless to everyone. It could be harmful for one, it could be blessing for other.
