Can you tighten moderation a bit too please? I’m seeing a lot of articles being posted verbatim from news sites with no paraphrasing or context. This is becoming a nuisance :confused:
And the discussion that’s happening is mostly because of folks who are frustrated by the spam

I get it, some spam is bound to happen. Would be best if we ignore such threads as its limited time thing ending this month. Had it been a long running contest, we would have built more guardrails.

Guidance is a better option like one of the Mods already did.

When will this be revealed :grin:
