    Honestly, it's so easy to block accounts, so if there's only one bot in you community you should just keep it.

    If they don't like it they can block it.

      But then the bot serves no purpose but to push away new users who see only the bot content

        Interestingly that's what I have observed too, and not just only on my community, but on others too. I think it may correlate with the too frequent posting too. For example my bot was ordered to post every 4 hours which can be overwhelming for the average lemmings fella here.

          Right; to my interpretation, a bot post won't convince anyone new to check out a community, and when someone does check out a community they see a series of posts regardless of how far apart in time they are, so the bot doesn't serve to pull in new people in any way

      I mean they certainly have the possibility, but maybe they don't know about it or don't wanna hassle with it. Although your point is definitely understandable.
