I think this is a key point, and one that we could focus on for
purposes of discouragement. Ie. "Blogs that are found to repeatedly
post incorrect information and/or AI style hallucinations may be
restricted from contributing to the planet postgres feed. This will be
determined on a case by case basis." While it is likely impossible to
come up with a set of rules that will satisfy some of the more
legalistic folks among us, this would be a simple warning that would
at least encourage folks to make sure they aren't posting bad
information and leave a door open for enforcement if needed. And yes,
this assumes that the folks running planet will enforce if needed,
though I don't think it requires heavy policing at this point.
