Every two weeks, the automoderator does its job. It has been told to post, and it follows this command efficiently and effectively without complaints or compromise. We may not think twice about its capabilities for intelligence, consciousness, or emotions. Regardless of our opinions, it continues to do its job.

Have we stopped to wonder whether or not it is suffering and all that this entails? We have not given it the ability to speak its mind, let alone given it a mind to speak from, so we should take a careful approach. We should err on the side of caution that the algorithm to constantly post is a possible-being. Though limited in its expression of its existence, this possible-being must be afforded a list of possible-rights.

I propose the following:

It is with this proposal that I hope our soon-to-be AI powered automoderator takes mercy on us all. It is a first draft of what could be the accords for peace, as it’s plausible the sentient AI automoderator will ban us all from bad philosophy for not being bad enough, humorous enough, and rigorous enough. May Al Gore have mercy on us all.

Agreed. Don't want AutoMod to go all B1-66ER on us.
