I also wanted to ask about something else. I've seen many members here tagged as AI spammers. Isn't that something that a user would get banned for?

In my opinion, yes. However, AI (ChatGPT & Grok, mostly) hasn't been around for long enough for the forum administration & moderators to decide whether or not copy/pasting AI generated text should be considered plagiarism, which is fair. Additionally, it would be bad if users suspected of posting AI-generated content when they actually weren't got banned. Its sometimes hard to definitively know the difference.

That's unfortunate, I hope that changes soon. I mean suspected cases can be left open, but many cases are very clear. Sometimes you can even guess accurately without using any tools to check due to key words used or due to the writing structure used. As an example, nobody in the world uses the word meticulous as often as ChatGPT does. Grin

There is not a single part of LN that is centralized. Even if the node or channel topology looked centralized, that does not make the protocol centralized. That does not give someone centralizing powers either.

Philosophically speaking, nothing is _completely_ decentralized, including Bitcoin. Everything has various degrees of centralization -- its an analog scale as opposed to digital. So dkbit98 might have just been saying that LN was "centralized" in his opinion, according to his own standards. He's a fairly intelligent poster & several others around here do indulge in the same kind of linguistic liberties, even when its not agreeable to everyone.

Fair enough, that is true and that is how it should be written. That said, absolutist and damaging statements such as his don't belong in that type of threads I would say. It is more for LN discussion threads. As a newbie seeking to establish himself here or seeking very specific help it can be quite off-putting.
