That includes posts generated by LLMs. It doesn’t matter if you “don’t have the time” or “would’ve written the same anyway”, or if “everyone’s doing it geez get with the times”.
For now it’ll also include “AI”-assisted projects that haven't had at least two months of (public, verifiable) dev time behind them.

Ehhh...
There are some 'cheat' mods. I remember a decade ago there was a slew of mods that added weapons and spells that did something like 9999 damage. I would personally call that cheating, but who really cares in a single-player game.
That being said, I did get annoyed by them because they kept crowding out other, better mods from Nexus's front page. But thankfully you don't really see that type of mod anymore. I assume the playerbase gradually grew up so that the average age was over 12.
Granted, my view is probably fairly skewed due to being harassed by a (presumed) kid for a week to do the same with a mod I made.
