The forum could use AI to fight against AI, Scams and Spam.

With the right tools it could be done, but isn't an easy task, The fact that i was able to spam with AI for multiple days is a good example bout the current problem that we have on the detection systems. It was a user who reported the post while i was expecting to get busted by the staff.


I don't know if the mods and staff have ever hunted down offenders on the forum, but what I do know is that they act on user reports, so I don't know why you're surprised that the staff didn't catch you, because that's not their job on the forum (in the literal sense of the word).

Besides what you did "for days", some others do it for weeks or even months even if someone reports them - except for newbies who are easy to nuke, the rest have a lot of credits before they get a permanent ban.

And my question for the community is: Is it really worth trying to automate a process like this, or are we fine with the current situation?

Even if you automate the process, you must have people who will additionally check any possible abuse of AI (perhaps the same ones who caught you), and then finally the mods to whom such posts must be reported and who will decide on the punishment. Sometimes the same process will need to be repeated for the same user 10 or 30 times before they are permanently banned, and now you can probably understand how much time would be needed to invest in such an operation.
