Official response from Greg Bernhardt

It's years since I last used PhysicsForums, but found it immensely useful in the old days while going through my undergrad physics degree (it was less useful for PhD courses). I am not morally opposed to providing AI attempts at an answer in threads where nobody else chimes in. However, using real accounts that belong to other users is wildly over the line. I was surprised to see this wasn't really called out in the official response thread by the existing users as that is the part of all this that is the most egregious to me.

IIRC, piefed's private votes are disabled for "trusted" instances. You can see which instances are trusted here.

Also, this is neither here nor there, but I have been trying out piefed lately and it's pretty cool. Thanks to the devs over there, the anime community should be a lot more compatible with piefed going forward thanks to squashing a couple bugs I found from our use cases. Specifically, piefed users should now enjoy:

  • Images on episode discussion threads don't disappear when I edit in a screenshot submitted by a user (relevant issue)
  • Clips submitted to the community will no longer break the UI in Tile or Wide Tile view (relevant issue)
