    Other than automated posting in bot echos (which seems like the same 10 things over and over), I don't see that many bots anymore, like the ones selling prescription drugs and get-rich schemes. But then again, I'm usually just hangin' around a few well-moderated ones, like this one.

    I *did* see a bunch on GameNet when I first joined, but haven't been on that 'net for a while...

    Not really. I'm not sure what you're ranting about here and in the general
    sub about things being confusing.

    Oops responded to wrong one. I'm sure you'll survive.

    Replying to the wrong message? That's a paddlin'

    In the future we will have AI bots for that (scanning for improper behaviour and proper punishment)

    and network updates. The problem at the moment, hopefully temporary, is that the hubs are blasting the general section and Bot pages as they are switching to docker. I wish they could change to the network stats page for all of this, but it's a temporary thing.

    I'm not sure I follow what this problem is re docker? Sorry.
