protip: don't cross them off, write who they are on the list (eg "Rivermeadow blacksmith") so you can remember when the players come back to them a million sessions later
Thanks everyone for your feedback. I get that this is a contentious issue, and I appreciate everyone being nice to eachother (and me) while discussing it. (Those of you that didn't, you know who you are)
Based on the upvoted comments and the arguments that I found most cogent, I will be banning generative AI in the community.
A few related issues were raised, and I'd like to explain how I intend to address them:

Rhaedus raised concerns about the difficulty in determining if something is AI generated or not. As with all rule enforcement on this site, I'll be relying on you all to report suspected violations, and I promise I'll give you my best-effort attempt to make a fair judgement.

Carl and others raised concerns that this might impact posts predominantly about human-created content that have some trivial or incidental amount of AI generated comment. In such a situation, if the use of Gen AI is really that minimal, it would never come to my attention in the first place, and therefore wouldn't get removed anyway.
Several users advocated for an explicit carve out for discussions about the use of AI, which is a good idea and will be included in the rule.
I guess that's the orthodox interpretation, that it's the eggs that were bad. But like, if you actually watch what he's doing, he just vaguely pokes at them while they burn to the bottom of the pan, and then he serves them while they're still liquid. And they don't call him an accomplished cook, the closest anyone gets is elevator shaft saying "Ooh, a practiced hand!" in response to Riker pouring the eggs into a pan.
Actually, progressing in an interesting if not promising way. There's been a ton of debate about how to handle the Ireland/North Ireland border due to brexit, and what they've recently settled on is basically creating a sea border between North Ireland and the rest of England so that the land border between Ireland and North Ireland can stay unrestricted. I'm not an expert, but this guy is and he's made several videos about it I like: https://www.youtube.com/@williamcfox/videos
Maybe the academy is just a terrible educational institution. Basically all we see of it is weird mind games, like simulated terrorist attacks and tests you automatically fail.. Maybe Picard thought of the gardener as a mentor because he was the only adult there not fucking with him.
Hey, sorry for the delayed response, I have been traveling.
That rule originally came from when we were a much busier subreddit. I recognize it's harder to really be "active" now, with so few threads. If they want to try to be a part of the community, I have no objection to them making a post about their game. No specific definition of what "active" means in terms of number of comments or anything, we'd just like to avoid the kind of drive-by spam of "buy my game kthnxbai"
IIRC you spent gold on XP by carousing; basically, blowing all your cash on ale and brothels was how you leveled up.
