Yes, I just had a new member post a 1000 word wall of text. I fixed it up for him so instead of an unreadable wall of text, we now have an easy to read highly valuable post. His reply was: This illustrates how such functionality enhances the forum experience.

Invalid object type for field "<parent_node>" Items with this issue are invalid. Invalid items are not eligible for Google Search's rich results I have inspected the resources that Google lists and they all have a XFRM category they are in. Its unclear to me why this error comes up.

Here's an example LLM. I'm using this AI text formatting app a lot: https://textformatter.ai/app Its awesome, as it quickly converts large walls of text into well formatted, easy to read posts. It includes headings, line breaks, punctuation, paragraphs, lists, etc. It does not correct spelling...

Here's an example (AWS SNS Topic) of a double digit status code often used by .edu providers: "bounceType\":\"Transient\",\"bounceSubType\":\"General\",\"bouncedRecipients\":[{\"emailAddress\":\"xxx@iup.edu\",\"action\":\"failed\",\"status\":\"5.4.14\",\"diagnosticCode\":\"smtp;554 5.4.14 Hop...

Its quite useful to see the flags on avatars and IP lists. But it only shows for newly posted content. Is it possible to rebuild it so it also shows on older posts? We have a few million posts. Would this incur costs or reach limits somehow?

I'd love to know more about that special server software.

Scanning all content will indeed be costly at this point in time. I think that when scanning mass content, its probably best to then get all the relevant functionality to save cost. i.e. correct title, prefix, tags, correct thread type, illegal harms, rule breaches, formatting, related content...

Features will always be optional and up to the administrator to turn on or not. There are other suggestions I can think of that would be expensive and therefore I'm not posting those. I do expect that llm calls will become much cheaper over time. AI will also open up new opportunities to...

Activity Summary emails provide an overview of latest content that the member has missed. The value of Activity Summary is that it shows recent content. Regardless of its value. Similarly, it would be useful to also send out a mailing with quality content: with Featured and Trending content and...

I prefer to immediately ban or reject accounts with SFS IP hit. No moderation, because you will end up with an approval queue filled with spammers. But this is one of the few exceptions. To avoid valid users getting rejected, I did lower the weight from 9 to 5 for now. 5 is the moderation...

In general LLM calls can get expensive, but not for this feature. The call would only be made if a user clicks on it. It would only send the text of the post, so its quite limited.

This suggestion does not request warning labels on posts. The suggestion is just to make members aware of any rule that may be breached. i.e. when they are writing a post show relevant community rules.

I'm regularly seeing rejects from Apple users are using iCloud Private Relay. ASN 13335, CLOUDFLARENET (iCloud+ subscription, that encrypts Safari browsing) As IPs from this block are blacklisted by SFS, such registrations are automatically rejected. Normally SFS IP hits are a good reason to...
