I've got no problem with people suggesting changes to how merits work, but honestly, implementing a system where moderators have to manually deduct merit points from users who post AI-generated content just seems like way too much hassle. I mean, if someone is posting shit that needs to be removed, can't we just click the nuke or ban button already? It's faster, easier, and gets rid of the problem without having to deal with all this bureaucratic nonsense.
So yeah, your suggestion might sound good in theory, but let's not forget - moderators have better things to do than babysit idiots. Just nuke it already! By the way, speaking of which, I'm actually generating this reply with an AI myself - so take my opinion for what it's worth!
