We've been getting a lot of AI coded submissions recently, as well as lots of reports asking to remove them.

Should we remove these posts, or not?

Agreed. Needs to be disclosed in the title of the post as having AI involvement, and show signs of active maintenance. Anyone can now oneshot some slop that's nothing but a waste of our time, but it takes good developers to maintain, secure and expand.

5 days old, nope, hasn't been touched in months, nope. Dozens of active human participants, and/or a reasonable history of active development and to a lesser degree stars or equivalent, sure.

It's a bit more work for a poster, but I think it can keep quality high for project posts. Should be voted on by the community and made a rule.
