it's real hater hours, so I want to know: what's the WEIRDEST or WORST misunderstanding of Magic's rules that you've encountered in the wild? whether it was at an LGS, a kitchen table hangout, a big convention, wherever?


The penalty is a 1-year ban from arXiv followed by the requirement that subsequent arXiv submissions must first be accepted at a reputable peer-reviewed venue. 4/

The funniest thing about #arxivgate is that it’s going to drive everyone to use AIs to ensure their papers are in compliance because AIs are literally the only entity with the patience to read an entire paper.


@WKCosmo Co-authors may read an entire paper and still not take the time to check that every reference exists and is relevant to how it's being used. Doing so will usually mean *each/every co-author* will have to go to Google Scholar, do a search for each citation, and follow the result.



The notion that grad students can't make ends meet is absolutely ridiculous to me. I live a mile away from Harvard. I am essentially a grad student with no stipend and no support. I'm making it work. Why can't they? The people who this screws are me -- marginal admits.
