The rules for bots # Bots should be clearly prompted by a command # Bots that always post without human intervention are noisy and are often unwanted.
Bots should not act in a community without mods from that community being contacted first # Moderators should not have to chase down the bots being used in their community, it should be opt-in. Just ask, be nice.
Bots should minimize the space they take with their messages # A bot’s response should be a small as possible to avoid taking space that could be used by people.
Well, I may try it, but it might drive the costs of running the bot significantly if a lot of users use the feature.
Edit: Done. Will see how it goes, might roll this back if it’s too taxing on my wallet.
