How come this subreddit turned into self-promoting AI-slob, pretty annoying, can we turn it down a little, thanks

Due to community feedback, post reports, and general housekeeping, we'll be implementing a rule to keep all new software development, trial, and announcement posts to Wednesdays only. If you post your new solution outside of this window, it will be removed.

The intent is to corral the rise in agentic developed software (often referred to as "AI Slop"), but not stifle the ability to share these ideas and workflows. If someone has come up with a new and novel way to ingest, process, or deliver UAV Mapping data, then we should have a platform for those people. Some of the pre-rule posts have lead to good discussions and there have been plenty of people that are interested in the OPs' posts. (Some of it might be bot engagement, I leave that up to you to decide.) There have been some reports that the responses to the posts by OP are also AI creations, but we should be reminded that some, non-native speakers, may be using this as a translation tool and not an automation, so don't judge them too harshly.

UAV Mapping has always been a "let the (down)votes" decide sub, so feel free to vote on the content and it will self-correct to a point. We've always preferred to have content for discussion, good or bad, rather than shut it down completely.

Thanks for those that have raised this question and we'll see how the new rule goes.
