We really need a AI tag

[Reynard]

There is an ignore prefix section in preferences but those seem to be mainly around games and systems though some on them I’ve never seen come up in the forums at all. But those must be more top level items in the forum list than a Spoiler tag.

I get that there are AI threads that are about the game, and those aren’t really ones that bug me. I’ve noticed several just wade directly into a more general AI state of the world discussion which just seem doomed to trend into politics - the two seem entwined.

That's it. Thanks.

There is no reason why there can't be a "AI" prefix we can ignore, is there?

Great recollection! I had forgotten about that.

Nvm about the first part of my comment. @Reynard - given the prevalence of threads seems like your proposal has merit. FWIW, I think it's a good idea, but that and $10 will get you a cup of coffee at Starbucks.

Just like a number of other hot button issues.

Just eliminate it from the discourse and save everyone the time and the heartache.

I’ll merge this with your other thread on this topic.

We just need to create some AI to figure out how to get rind of AI.

We definitely do not live in a technocracy!!

“How can I re-engineer Xenforo so that it can block specific threads and thread tags?”

That feels like a question I could ask somebody, but I’m not sure who.

IIRC, Morrus is reluctant to add any plugins to the forum software because of bad experiences with version conflicts and the like in previous versions of the software (particularly back when the forums ran on VBulletin). So unless Xenforo adds it themselves, it doesn't seem all that likely.

I appreciate the literal answer to my joke comment from a month ago.
