The trust feedback cannot block all the holes in the forum moderation policies or it starts to lose its own relevance.
The trust system, in my eyes at least, lost its relevance a long time ago and as far as me misusing it in a case like this, I don't think I'm doing that at all. The threat of AI ruining this forum seems very real to me, and it's unknown if Theymos intends to take any meaningful action about it. Handing out a negative trust to a member who's most likely using AI to shitpost for a campaign reminds me of the months before the merit system was created; if the trust system is the only tool you've got to fight these morons, then that's the one you use until someone with authority tells you otherwise.
As far as the AI goes, the mods agree apparently since there are so many reports marked good. Being as AI is still fairly new, there might be some errors in detecting AI content, but if it walks like a duck........
This (in addition to the imminent threat) is why I'm inclined to shoot first and ask questions later. I'll sleep just fine, and the rest of you can do what you like, but AI-generated shitposts might potentially be an overwhelming problem very soon. And honestly, this is the first member I've tagged for this. It isn't like I'm on a rampage circa December 2017.
