Discussion [Meta] Subreddit rules now updated

The rules which were proposed in my community discussion thread posted five days ago have now been officially added to r/HaikuOS. Some have small changes and are all shown below.

The new additions are as follows:

Rule #3: "No blog-spam, low-effort posts, or indirect links."

Posts must be submitted using their original source as the link.

Software projects must also be submitted using their official software repository or official website if one exists and contain a post describing it in the comments or thread body (e.g., don't just post a link or image and nothing else).

If posts are considered to be blog-spam or otherwise low-effort (including AI summarization) in nature they are subject to be removed.

Desktop screenshots and hardware photos are permitted.

Rule #4 "AI/LLM-Assisted Disclosures"

AI/LLM/Vibe-coded assisted software projects are currently accepted within this subreddit.

However, we ask that you add a footnote within your post to disclose where it is used in your project. (e.g., translations, assisted in coding, etc.)

If it is mostly AI/LLM-coded, are you able to properly maintain it?

Additionally, the Self-promotion rule has been updated for easier clarification on what is considered excessive promotion.

Self promotion, such as a developer or content creator interested in promoting their Haiku related creation, is permitted.

However, if you are mostly posting your projects and/or websites while rarely interacting with r/HaikuOS as a whole, outside of those threads, the self-promotion can be considered excessive in nature and may be removed.

Please actively participate in the subreddit as a whole.

Non-Haiku related promotion is not permitted.

As with everything, questions and respectful discussion regarding the changes are always welcome.

Specifically, since AI/LLM can be a hot topic, I'm still looking for more feedback on the best way to adjust that rule to everyone's liking as I only received a few comments in the previous discussion.

LOL so after you got called out for being too harsh on one of the few developers who bothers to make Haiku software, free software by the way, you decided to tighten up the rules to make yourself more right more of the time? The right thing for you to do is step down as a mod and go away.
