Too many bot threads

[DaReaper]

I don't find much of a problem with the Bot making posts in the News forum, the forum looks fine and i'm glad it's regularly updated with News i don't often get to hear about from viable sources.

I'm guessing the bot could be tuned to post less often if some find it distracting. But i'm fine with it

I have been leeching this forum for while and i don't see any post(s) from bots?
Anyway these forums looks fantastic!

Leave 'im alone -- he's just overzealous! Besides, Rob has a handle on it.

I made some research at forums topics and noticed that there is really few topics what you can see that they are maid by bots, but about 99,5% of topics are from real people

Bots in Forums are never a good idea. I don't like this concept. When you have a extra Page that is isolated of the Forum, maybe. But for me it's annoying Spam. Agree with Lucasbytegenius.

so far

Interesting. I would have never guessed that someone who posts news items would be considered spamming. I guess I will keep that in mind and refrain from posting any articles here.

Nah - you won't be considered a spammer..

I had a news bot automatically posting up news as an aggregator. That's what they're talking about - he would post a lot each day

I was just thinking. Shouldn't forums only involve humans? I mean, the purpose of forums I think is for people to think together and come up with mutual ideas. Just a thought though...

I agree. Bots shouldn't take all the fun away from us :P

I think I am coming in a bit late. Still, as a responsible member of the community, I am obliged to put in my two bahts worth. Here's my take on the matter.

I hate it!

Just a couple of lines. Then have to click on 'more' to get to a site where I have to click again on 'more' to read what it's all about. This is not AI. It's ASS - Artificially Simplistic Stupidity. I suggest nuking it unless it can be tweaked to be more informative.

Rant over.

Thank you for your patience.
