[rpd] Writing tools

[Phetulo Dhlamini]

Hi Mike,

On that point, we’re closer than it first appeared.

Actual flooding, whether automated or not, should be handled under the
existing list rules. My concern is with the phrase “AI DDoS,” because it
can stigmatise ordinary AI-assisted participation before any disruptive
conduct has occurred.

The fair test is behaviour, not the tool: excessive volume, duplication,
impersonation, or deliberate disruption can be moderated. A real
participant who submits a message and stands behind it should still have
the argument considered on its merits.

That keeps the process open without turning moderation into gatekeeping
over which tools people may use.

Regards,
Phetulo
