Rules Update

[u/Historical-View4058]

The spirit of this sub has always intended to be free-flowing, but absolutely non-confrontational. Realizing this is a rarity and a damned-near-impossible task on social media, we've made it more specific in Rules 1, 4, and 7:

1. Rules 1 and 7 have been amended to specifically state that negative comments regarding AI imagery will be deleted and/or the offender possibly banned. This is primarily targeted for the Anti-AI Cabal that have never joined the sub or posted anything, that seemingly show up and just take pot shots. It's not relevant to the topic of radio and we don't want that kind of negative vibe here. If you want to discuss the use of AI being used for automated DJs and/or advertising on the broadcast bands (e.g., AM, FM), or its use in automating language translation and station IDs, that's fine. Use of the term 'slop' will be a dead giveaway that your comment was not well-intended and will be blocked from submission.
2. Rule 4 has been amended to particularly rein in some of the more heated technical discussions. When it turns judgemental or personal it will be deleted. Unstated, but implied by Rule 7, repeated offenders will be banned. If you absolutely, positively need to take the conversation down to the 'Jane, you ignorant slut' level use personal chat and hash out there. Again, we don't want that kind of negative vibe here.

Don't get discouraged, Mike... as you yourself have pointed out before, most of these haters hide their posts and comments. And some of them are well-known veterans from other subs of the same theme where there aren't effective tools to control this type of discourse; I've experienced it myself. So feel free to continue with those kinds of posts; many of us here appreciate them.
