    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

    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

    no to bots

    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.
