I generally agreed with this sentiment, but the fact that admins and mods didn’t care makes me understand why they felt the need to point it out in the comments.
As long as the mods and admins care about removing bots instead of just wanting an inflated user base I think the comments about bots should stay confined to posts like this one where they are on topic.
Mute is your best friend. Unless you are playing with people you know there is no reason to talk to people. I just look at the players as bots.
