Rules

We have a four strike system in this community where you get warned the first time you break a rule, then given a week ban, then given a year ban, then a permanent ban. Certain actions may bypass this and go straight to permanent ban if severe enough and done with malicious intent

Not surprising, but glad they pick a more sensible approach than other open source projects.

To me, this is the right approach. Contributors should not be submitting code that they don't understand and can't adjust.

[–] nerdspice@lemmy.zip 16 points 2 weeks ago

I agree. When I read their post, I thought good for them. It seems fair and they did a good job explaining the reasoning.

Oh hell yeah! One company with some damned sense

Policy seems like a fair and good compromise.

Awesome policy

Transparent rules build stronger CDMWorlds.

I don't understand what concrete steps are being taken. People can still submit stuff and let all communication go through an LLM. What is concretely being changed here in the flow of things?

If they see it they can reject the PR instead of going back and forth with a robot now without any complaints because they can just point to "follow our guidelines"

Without the ability to say "It goes against the guidelines" the annoying robot can tirelessly complain and plead to let its robot code into the codebase. It can keep saying "there are no rules against robot slop contributions" or "there are no rules against using a robot as a medium for conversation" draining more time and energy from a finite pool of people capable of spending time and energy reviewing code and communicating.
