With AI getting better and more widely used, it's only going to get worse unless AI/bot posts are dealt with promptly and the jackoffs who employ tools like that to basically wipe their asses with the forum are given a swift ban.
I count 49 deleted posts, 1 Merit (for a now deleted post), and no ban yet.
Ignoring is fine, but my suggestion is to do it after you've made a report to the mods.
That's the thing: it's very discouraging to report shitposts, if the shitposter can just continue. Spambots that require this much human time to deal with are a complete waste of everyone's time. I still report them, but quickly click Ignore and after that it's no longer my problem. But this is not how the forum should be.
