Update:
On August 2nd, 2023, negotiations between community representatives and representatives of the company concluded with an agreement being reached. The details of the agreement can be found at Moderation strike: Results of negotiations.
The original letter is kept below for historical interest:
June 5, 2023
Stack Overflow, Inc. has decreed a near-total prohibition on moderating AI-generated content in the wake of a flood of such content being posted to and subsequently removed from the Stack Exchange network, tacitly allowing the proliferation of incorrect information ("hallucinations") and unfettered plagiarism on the Stack Exchange network. This poses a major threat to the integrity and trustworthiness of the platform and its content.
We, the undersigned, are volunteer moderators, contributors, and users of Stack Overflow and the Stack Exchange network. Effective immediately, we are enacting a general moderation strike on Stack Overflow and the Stack Exchange network, in protest of this and other recent and upcoming changes to policy and the platform that are being forced upon us by Stack Overflow, Inc.
Our efforts to effect change through proper channels have been ignored, and our concerns disregarded at every turn. Now, as a last resort, we are striking out of dedication to the platform that we have put over a decade of care and volunteer effort into. We deeply believe in the core mission of the Stack Exchange network: to provide a repository of high-quality information in the form of questions and answers, and the recent actions taken by Stack Overflow, Inc. are directly harmful to that goal.
Specifically, moderators are no longer allowed to remove AI-generated answers on the basis of being AI-generated, outside of exceedingly narrow circumstances. This results in effectively permitting nearly all AI-generated answers to be freely posted, regardless of established community consensus on such content.
In turn, this allows incorrect information (colloquially referred to as "hallucinations") and plagiarism to proliferate unchecked on the platform. This destroys trust in the platform, as Stack Overflow, Inc. has previously noted.
In addition, the details of the policies issued directly to moderators differ substantially from the guidelines outlined publicly, with moderators barred from publicly sharing the details.
These policies disregard the leeway historically granted to individual Stack Exchange communities to determine their policies, by making changes without the input of the community, overriding community consensus, and outright refusing to reconsider their position.
Until this matter is resolved satisfactorily, we will be pausing activities including, but not limited to:
- Raising and handling flags.
- Running SmokeDetector, the anti-spam bot.
- Closing or voting to close posts.
- Deleting or voting to delete posts.
- Reviewing tasks in the various review queues.
- Running various other bots designed to assist in moderation, such as detecting plagiarism, low-quality answers, and rude comments.
Until Stack Overflow, Inc. retracts this policy change to a degree that addresses the concerns of the moderators, and allows moderators to effectively enforce established policies against AI-generated answers, we are calling for a general moderation strike, as a last-resort effort to protect the Stack Exchange platform and users from a total loss in value. We would also like to remind Stack Overflow, Inc. that a network that entirely relies on volunteers for its moderation model cannot then consistently ignore, mistreat, and malign those same volunteers.
Signed,
Clive

FAQ
Why not judge AI-generated content by the same standards as other content?
Content by generative AI like ChatGPT is a special blend of garbage: While superficially well written, it often embeds incorrect answers in correct but irrelevant waffling, made-up references, and non sequiturs. The primary intended mechanism against such content is downvoting and editing, not deletion – moderators don’t act based on correctness for a good reason. However, AI content often bypasses the voting system by tricking inexperienced users into upvoting and accepting due to its superficial quality.
Moreover, while humans occasionally produce content with similar properties, this requires some effort. By contrast, an AI can produce such content in seconds, while still causing the same effort in fact-checking and moderation – at least as long as we are required to handle it by the same standard as human answers.
What metrics do mods really use other than unreliable automatic AI detection tools to suspend users?
Just one tool saying one answer is AI is not enough to get a suspension. Moderators look for various heuristics, including posting patterns, answer speed, writing style, and others, in order to identify AI-generated content. This can include checking an automated detector, but this is not a primary method used, due to the false positive rate. While any one method can be unreliable, when an answer matches multiple heuristics, moderators can be relatively confident that the post is indeed AI-generated.
Mods already err on the side of lenience. If they are unsure something is AI written no suspensions are issued.
The new policy bans use of all manual and automatic detection methods, even when combined, leaving no options. Mods will be unable to remove even obvious AI content, and thus it will flood the site.
I am not a moderator on any Stack Exchange site, how can I help?
Even if you are not a moderator you can participate in the strike by:
- Not voting on posts
- Not submitting edits
- Not reviewing in the review queues
- Not commenting
- Not flagging posts
DO NOT engage in vandalism. We're abstaining from moderation, not trying to be actively destructive.
- DO NOT purposefully submit AI-generated answers during the strike. While we will not be removing them during the strike you may be suspended afterwards. We anticipate plenty will get posted anyway without purposefully submitting more.
- DO NOT upvote spam, AI generated posts, or other low quality posts. Do not downvote good posts. That is just disrespectful, better to not vote at all.
- DO NOT be rude to Stack Exchange employees, those who choose not to strike, or anyone else.
Where can I learn more?
The situation is continuously developing, but here are a few starting points for following up:
- Moderation Strike: Stack Overflow, Inc. cannot consistently ignore, mistreat, and malign its volunteers summarizes the situation and has links to more information, as well as comments by engaged users. Many other recent posts on Stack Exchange Meta cover various aspects of the current crisis and its underpinnings and effects. Perhaps see also Stack Overflow Meta, though this site has fewer posts about this topic. (The Stack Exchange meta site covers the entire network, whereas the Stack Overflow one is specific to the network's flagship site.)
- There is a Discord channel for participants, where various aspects of the event are being discussed. https://discord.gg/PbEPURd
