    The other thread started from the assumption that the bot is useful and here to stay, even though the overwhelming feedback has been that it sucks and should be removed. It was a transparent attempt to increase support for it instead of an honest attempt at feedback. People still gave their feedback, of course, that the stupid bot should be put out to pasture.

    At least now we’re seeing the bot is gone until improvements are made, the bias stuff is gone, the bot shouldn’t even appear except in select cases. That’s totally different than what they’re saying in the other thread.




  • The mods aren’t neutral though. They already start with a pretty strong “the bot is here to stay” which is borderline insulting to the community. Then they’re asking for ideas to make it better, which already presumes the idea is feasible or a good idea in the first place. Sure, I would make it less spammy, put the details behind a link, etc etc, but they’re already committed to the bot as a solution to their stated problem of overloaded mods. Well that could be solved in much better ways. All the energy going to this controversial bot is adding to the mod overburden!
