Bots can be useful. I have tried them in games before, that is where I got my understanding I have of them. While it is wrong as I have done, class all with one cast. I apologize for that was not the intention. It was meant solely for that particular debate, where one party in an opinion was seen to have been hard done by.
I admit I do not use a bot I would need to pay for and would use one I would not need to pay for.
We stand ourselves on opposite sides of the bot debate. I do not condemn them, I dislike the abuse they can bring. Which might be one part we both can agree on. The sit back and laugh part was hypothetical in that a participant has been punished for the actions of the creator's bot which those methods are disagreed upon. Enlighten the audience remove the power from the bot. To punish the user in an instance is to dictate the terms a user can work under and must follow one to know and comply with their agenda. Target the supply or create an alternative, to punish unfairly is wrong on all counts.
