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.
