Where did he say this? He said he didn’t read the rules. Also, when I explained the rules (tho in error), where to find them, and decode them, instead of just piling on like everyone else, when I came back, OP had added the tag. That doesn’t seem like he didn’t ‘care about the community rules’. OP doesn’t seem to be fluent in English, and stated such. Yes, the rules are posted and are there for proper formatting of threads. So imagine yourself visiting a selfhosting site that’s written in Mandarin. ffs!

Elsewhere in this thread, I can’t seem to get the link on my phone:
They admitted that they chose not to read the community rules and appear to have assumed that they were not allowed to post about AI projects, yet chose to post anyway.
Also, translation tools are widely available on the Internet to the extent that they’re built into most browsers at this point. While they’re obviously not as good as actually being fluent, they work fine for getting the point across. I’ve used them to read non-English sites with success, even if I maybe missed some of the subtleties of the original text.
It would be far less frustrating if they had at least attempted to read the rules and made a mistake in trying to follow them.
All I’m advocating here is a little common courtesy, you know? Rule 1 if we’re going to talk about rules. Selfhosters are always talking about how we need more people to sever the umbilical cord of Big Data and get into selfhosting, then act like a bunch of elitist snobs. It really is the black eye in the self hosting community.

I get what you’re saying and agree with you that there tends to be an elitist slant within this community, but that courtesy is a two-way street. I don’t think it’s that much to ask that people to put in the bare minimum to respect the spaces they enter without having to be cajoled to do so by others, and in turn, I do my best to respect the communities I visit both online and offline.
I actually rescinded my downvote after they added the tag because they were following the rules at that point, in spite of my misgivings about the project.
Alright man. Rock on wid yo’ bad self.
