This is the first time you have ever seen a member of this GLO, and you assume that everything she does is what her GLO stands for.
Now NHQ (or IHQ) cannot control what she does personally. They cannot be everywhere at once. What they can do is lay down boundaries for representing the GLO.
The rule of thumb is 'when in doubt, don't.'
NHQs and IHQs cannot control the content on this website. They can tell members to exercise extreme discretion. Following this logic, this forum should not exist. 'When in doubt, don't.'
Let's say Suzie XY says, 'AI with my sorority is a snap.' You have just heard of AI and you're excited to hear this. Then Jane XY says, 'no it's not, don't listen to Suzie XY.' Who do you believe? Who is correct? Would there be any confusion if the information wasn't on the internet in the first place?
No one's trying to prevent AI here. But getting information from GC is like citing wikipedia for your doctoral dissertation.
Did that make sense?

I completely understand what you are trying to say, and fully agree with the spirit of it.
I don't know, maybe it's just me. I was looking at the GC boards to get an idea of how the AI process, not a "How To" manual. I mean, there really isn't much to it (in regards to complexity), call or send an e-mail, state your case, and wait.
However, I would fully support the deletion of any posts where someone is trying to solicit sponsorship from members online, or where someone posted too-specific details, mentioned their GLO before an invitation was extended, or made any reference, no matter how slight, that AI was "easy".
