If you would think the rule was good, and would not revisit it for someone you don't really know that well, or someone you hate, you should not revisit it because it applies to someone you like.

This feels like an element of fundamental fairness.

If the rule is otherwise good and someone who we all appreciate and respect has their work excluded for a year, them's the breaks.

The rule should not be chosen based on who it excludes.

If the rule means that the output of an entire publishing house, which goes AI-edit forward in 2026, is excluded, the rule is functioning as intended.

2) when deciding if a clear rule is a GOOD rule, the absolute last thing you should be doing is crafting a rule and then looking to see if it excludes people you like and respect and frantically redrafting it if it does so that those people are eligible for your contest

I am losing my mind

DO ANY OF THESE JOURNALISTS KNOW THAT VENEZUELA IS NOT ON THE PACIFIC

THAT THE CARIBBEAN SEA DOES NOT TOUCH THE PACIFIC

THAT IN FACT THIS IS WHAT THE PANAMA CANAL WAS BUILT FOR

WTF IS THE EASTERN PACIFIC

PLEASE LOOK AT A MAP
