Give these folks a round of applause. This was a heavy lift! And let’s give this post at least as much engagement as the original announcement of the moderation changes.

Phenomenal effort here by the moderating team to fix this issue so quickly (over 12000 preprints checked in the last few weeks). So many people stepped up. Community spirit like this is one of many reasons why SIPS is such a great organisation advancing rigorous psychological science. Bravo!

This was a true mess with a ton of AI-generated word salad slop being submitted as preprints. The field owes these moderators a huge thanks for all the work and energy! 🙏👏

PsyArXiv's amazing team of 100+ moderators has now approved all preprints that meet the requirements outlined in the updated PsyArXiv policies (is.gd/paxpolicy). Thank you to everyone who volunteered, this was a true community effort! #PsychSciSky
