I was thinking of making a bot that helps around on the forums, such as alerts users when they post things that are supposed to be there.
ST, can you please confirm if I can program this bot?

Say “Thanks for that rice cake, Kewpie!” if you made it this far.

What would the forum bot do?
I would greatly appreciate if you were to check of this game I spent months that includes plot and bosses here https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/97452006/ ………………………………………Want a detailed review or idea?
I'm a major fan of Pokemon, Undertale and the Pija and Toast series.
I am doing a shiny scramble of pokemon Pearl. I'm 7 chapters in and on my way to the 2nd gym.

You posted it twice, I'm gonna report this to be closed since the other one is the older one.
I see now that the circumstances of one's birth are irrelevant. It is what you do with the gift of life that determines who you are. - Mewtwo

Please close the last one. Not this one, as this has the replies.

Having a suggestion and not sure exactly how it would work is like having a piece of bread that you want to toast and not knowing how to toast it.

Think about it, it may take a few minutes to do a report. This may even turn out to be an hour, or even two, that people could see it, and spam the moderators with reports. This bot would probably mark dead articles and otherwise do some moderating within seconds. This might become a minute, which is nothing compared to the hour for a human.Um, OK then…Great.I'm not really sure.How exactly? Please give more details.It would help around on the forums.

But what if it malfunctions. Plus, bots would still take down posts that were actually reported by trolls for fun.Think about it, it may take a few minutes to do a report.

It's great that you want to make things better in the forums! However, I would need to know a lot more detail about what you are proposing to do before weighing in with an opinion:
What are the function(s) it will perform?
On what computer is the program running?
How is it getting the information it uses to fulfill it's function(s)?

This is my forum signature! On a forum post, it is okay for Scratchers to advertise in their forum signature. The signature is the stuff that shows up below the horizontal line on the post. It will show up on every post I make.

What are the function(s) it will perform? These might change, but at first, it will check around for posts it suspects are not ok for Scratch.
On what computer is the program running? Probably will end up being some kind of AWS computer.
How is it getting the information it uses to fulfill it's function(s)? Some would be stored on this topic and it grabs the RSS Feed to get settings. Other bits of data it would figure out itself.

Those who frequented the Advanced Forums in the past know what happened when somebody let a bot automatically reply to stuff in the Suggestions forum.
Granted, it wouldn't really happen again with an official bot, but bots that help out users aren't really designed for a forum environment, and I can't really think of any reasons why we need bots in the forums other than your suggestion; this place is fairly self-explanatory when you take the time to read the stickies.

No I don't make projects anymore. I left some time ago.
I only check the forums every now and then, but other than that consider me retired.
