AUR Mods, All,
Is it possible to get a rule that prevents AI generated posts to the
list(s)? Recently there were two posts to the aur-general list:
Request to restore AUR packages: brygge, brygge-bin
Request to restore AUR packages: stikk, stikk-bin
The posts are verbatim except for the <insert package name here> fields.
While it is possible they could be human copy/pastes, they certainly
both appear to be AI generated posts -- to the point that all four
packages are described as an "open-source VCS [migration support/client]
tool" with the exact same reason that "Pushing them is refused because
the names were deleted, ..."
I value what other AUR members have to say, but I'd rather not have
to wade though next-token generated posts to get to actual list content.
A rule now preventing auto-generated posts will prevent a great deal of
grief going forward -- as this problem is only going to get worse.
