RE: Re: to @dantheman "notice-to-bot-spammers"
Great idea! I like very few bots. @wang is great and @weenis can be helpful as well. @wang only comments to welcome new users and give them a few tips and answers. However if all a bot is doing is repeating the same thing over and over with no benefit to the user, it is spam. Plagiarism should have a warning around it for potential plagiarism that can be removed with people voting on it. Curation bots should be limited to being used by whales and dolphins who have a vested interest in good content and allow instant upvotes of certain users if they wish. comment bots other than @wang are worthless in my opinion and should be removed. Comments here are meant to be meaningful and provide feedback or ask questions. Simply saying "great post" is not valuable to anyone in the community. It does not show you read the article or care about anything besides trying to get a few pennies. That's my two cents. Bots should be able to be voted on and made invisible if the community feels that way.
Wang seems to be the only bot who makes really bank here. Would be interesting to know, who actually made it.
