you're still only spamming, those empty comments don't provide any value, every comment notifies everyone, this isn't a messaging app, only reply if you have something useful to say

[pinheadmz]

IMO asking questions like "why are we dividing by 2 here?" is ok. A comment like "alright" is not useful.

Thank you, I'll take the correction seriously

Hi pinheadmz, I am genuinely working and looking to contribute by adding comments and doing reviews. i have a genuine commit in progress #34833 . I am a financial analyst doing real world work with finance and bitcoin, happy to share my linkedin with you. I do use AI tools to help me navigate code but im not a bot account. If i am breaking rules I am happy to fall in line with any rules and standards. I am running all my test locally on WSL2 and trying to engage with feedback genuinely. I do know it looks suspicious since my first interactions were labelled AI slop, but ive since managed my posting and made sure its all human. I respect yall's decision but would like to get unbanned and open to any suggestions or feedback.

Thanks,
Andrew

Ok, will unblock you. Please make sure any comment you leave on a pull request is constructive, adding new information. Especially since you are a new contributor it will be important to build your reputation by explaining clearly your testing and review process, your development environment, your knowledge and understanding of the code change and its surrounding code, etc.

Thank you @pinheadmz. I am taking all the feedback from you, and the rest of the team and making sure to follow. I genuinely want to contribute to this project and will be constructive.

Appreciate you all.

Dear pinheadmz, I am not a BOT, I am genuinely working on Bitcoin Core, and I also made some recent contributions to the BIPs.

My native language is not English, so to avoid writing incorrectly I use AI to fix possible agreement errors and to make sure the important ideas I worked on are less confusing to explain.

Reading CONTRIBUTING.md I understood that my comments should be detailed, and maybe I went too far in the length of the answers, including more technical examples than I should have, but since I am new my idea was to make the comments more complete so that the line of reasoning would be as clear and complete as possible.

I was more focused on the BIPs, and I recently saw that Core needed reviews, which is where I started to help. My intention was to help and not to cause problems. I would like to be unbanned if possible and to keep contributing. I am open to suggestions and criticism.

Thanks,
Jean.

I'll unblock you so you can try again. I think we'd probably prefer incorrect english to LLM generated review comments. We all have our own LLMs. It's safe to assume that all PR authors and reviewers have already run proposed code changes through their agents. What is more helpful from new reviewers is a detailed story about what you, the human, did to review and test the code. Whats not useful is an LLM summary of the code changes.

Agree. @jeanpablojp, you could also write your review in your own words, in your native language, and below it in the same comment, post a translation to English (say, using google translate) for the readers' convenience.

[jeanpablojp]

Thanks @pinheadmz and @jonatack for the tips, and for the unblock.
I will follow your tips and refactor my next works carefully before advancing.
Hope my work can become useful for the community.

@jeanpablojp had a few good reviews recently. For the record, the reproducers you write are useful (what you tried, what you observed, what you found confusing or clear, what alternatives you see) and suggestions, simplifications, etc - just don't copy-paste AI output that you don't fully understand.
Thanks for the reviews, keep them coming.
