This project allows LLM contributions, why is it allowed to be posted in this subreddit?

You keep complaining about the LLM policy. If you don't like it, feel free to go somewhere else but your complaints are getting tiring and don't add any value.

As for why Mojo is allowed here: because it's been a pretty hot topic in recent years, with people of significant relevance/experience behind it, and to my knowledge much of it still being written by humans (though there indeed are signs of LLM usage).

In other words: because it's not some vibe coded slop project by somebody that had Claude Code do all the work, unlike 99.99% of other LLM built projects.

What about the zero tolerance policy though? It's zero, except when it isn't? You said things like

Once a project is tainted by LLM code it's impossible to determine how far the rot spreads throughout the project.

And

"No LLM generated code" means "No LLM generated code", not "A little LLM generated code is allowed".

But somehow you think this doesn't apply to Mojo because "to your knowledge" much of it is still written by humans (even though once a project is tainted by LLM code it's impossible to determine how far the rot spreads throughout the project)

So what is the actual policy?
