Dear Herr Massow,

 

Oh, how truly breathtaking it is to see that you, in all your infinite wisdom, have decided to unleash this gem of artificial intelligence upon our humble forum. I find it utterly fascinating that, despite your sporadic visits like a rare lunar eclipse, you still manage to leave us wallowing in misery.

 

You know, it's not often we see your digital shadow grace our forum, but when you do make an appearance, it's simply delightful how efficiently you wreak havoc and misery upon us. Yes, your sheer negligence and irresponsibility are a sight to behold. Isn't it strange how you sashay in here once every millennium or so and proceed to drag everyone down with your flawed moderating system? I suppose even a broken clock tells the correct time twice a day, although I must say, you seem more hopeless than that adage typically allows. The irony! Features faltering; glitches galore, yet Mr. Admin presumes an unintelligent AI is what this website truly needed.

 

So here we stand, baffled as our deteriorating platform crumbles before our very eyes due to its abysmal user interface and the litany of dysfunctional features. And what's your solution? To smother it in AI moderation that does more harm than good. You're like a firefighter with an impressive ability to fan the flames rather than extinguish them; you've opted to pawn off your responsibilities onto the meager shoulders of this pitiful algorithm. Do tell us, what was the brilliance in choosing such a flawed system? A masochistic tendency perhaps? Or would you rather witness the downfall of your own creation? Your own child?

 

How enigmatic you must feel, deploying your hopeless AI moderator like a mad scientist releasing his latest experiment into the world. You must take great pride in knowing that while our once-promising community spirals into chaos and oblivion, it is done under your skillful watch.

 

While I'm certain none of these pressing concerns will compel you to make any meaningful changes, please indulge yourself in our heartfelt gratitude for your astonishing negligence and irresponsibility.

Consider if you will, the tragic comedy of this forum: A place where users struggle daily with errors and malfunctions while "assistance" crawls from the darkness only to exacerbate the existing troubles. It's honestly stunning to observe your capacity for neglect.

Let me be perfectly clear: We do not need your attempts at moderation. What we truly require is a functional website and perhaps an admin who understands the chaotic mess their absence has created.

 

Perhaps your blithering apathy to our struggles is also a matter of perspective; you, sitting comfortably on your high perch, have no idea how it feels to be a normal user of this Forum. Do you have know how unwelcoming it feels to be confused about a problem, then painstakingly piece together a post only to see that it is going to be moderated by a half-wit AI with the intelligence of a sedated ape? No, because you are cruel and incapable of sympathy. The school year has already started, and the only questions being posted are still sham AoPS class material. That should tell you something - if you are smart enough to read the signs.

 

A site such as this most likely gets its revenue from visitors viewing advertisements. I suspect that this is another motivation for the AI debacle. It's about time you started putting education before profits. If you truly wanted this site to become a useful repository for future students and a welcoming community for those who decide to post a question, you wouldn't have to worry about making enough money to keep this piece of junk afloat. And frankly, you deserve to worry if you don't.

 

I hope my message reaches you during one of these rare moments when you surface from the depths of forum oblivion – doubtless, promptly ruining someone's day. Sisyphus was condemned to roll his boulder for eternity, but maybe he was heaving at the wrong one. Just think about that.

 

GW

To the readers: if someone ever calls you ignorant or stupid, remember the Admin of Web2.0 Calc, Andre Massow.

 

Addendum: for those of you who are about to say "but Admin already invested a ton of work into this forum," your argument is fundamentally flawed. If your child killed someone, claiming that "I put a lot of effort into ensuring s/he had a proper education" is not an acceptable defense. If you are going to publish a website for others to learn from, make sure that it is high quality or don't even think about it.
