Guidelines Must be Updated

[Orhan]

1. Let me start with an AI generated response:

   • “This is one of worst AI slop posts that I’ve seen upvoted here.”

     • This is name-calling / insulting language.
     • “AI slop” is a derogatory label aimed at the work (and implicitly the author), not a technical critique.

   • “you maybe don’t even understand the codebase? This is real dishonesty.”

     • This is an ad hominem accusation.
     • It attacks the person’s competence (“don’t understand the codebase”) and integrity (“dishonesty”) without evidence.
     • It goes beyond critique into personal attack.

2. Allow me to explain what I think.

   • You are right, calling something dishonest “dishonest”, should not be a problem. But only if there is a dishonesty. After the author explained himself, they did not apologise or edit/remove their comments. (Both Martins liked the mod’s reply, which means they are reading).

     • The first comment made by @martincerven is a copy paste from Reddit and states that the author

       “used GPT (to make 20 page of slop blog right?) because he’s not native speaker.”

       which is liked by @peci1, which means it is read.

     • Then @peci1 says

       “you’re silent about the fact that maybe 99% of “your” work (including the blog) was done by an LLM”

     • It is clear that the author is not silent but it is just not showing up on the repo.

     • If the hobbyist youtuber Martin didn’t write that hateful comment first, I could say that the academician Martin was maybe helpful and he’s just pointing out the README of the project doesn’t state LLM use. But a comment aimed at helping would directly state these things.

   • Inspecting parts of a single message, or a single message does not show the whole picture. Put yourself in that kid’s shoes. What I saw there, was,

     • Two Martins saying bad things, one after the other, liking each others’ posts, and a mod, coming and supporting this behaviour.

     • Two big guys bullying a kid and an OSRA official coming and supporting this behaviour because one of the bullies does some chores for them for free.

   And it motivated me to push this matter this far.
