RE: Watch Out! Massive Losses Seen on Upvote Bots
Good to hear from you, Carl!
I think my next post will be about cyborgs ('bots' who make vetted upvotes).

cool that should be interesting. Just to be clear, the only thing "bot" about @humanbot and @r-bot is in the name. Both accounts are 100% manual curation operations.
I have a feeling that I saw something which said that the authors of posts that are being submitted to @humanbot should have a reputation at or below 55. Is that true or am I getting it mixed up with the 45 or lower rep requirement of @thehumanbot?
there is no REP requirement or any other requirement except that it not be self promotion as far as dropping links off at @humanbot. You may have been confusing it with @thehumanbot, which as I mentioned, is perfectly understandable. The names are confusingly similar
That's one of the things that bot admins I've spoken to have used to justify what they're doing. They say that getting the big upvotes will get you into the Hot section, which they see as being valuable promotion.
Is being Hot really as big of a deal for getting followers and more upvotes as they make it out to be?
