Do we even need to have the directory account marked as bot? After all there's no automation involved. #4

The directory is maintained fully manually, the bot has zero capabilities to do anything by itself and it's marked as a bot only because we use a github sync tool connected to a post made by this account to allow more people working on the directory. There are people that have bot visibility turned off and will miss the directory because of that.

Hmm, it's a bit of a grey area. Maybe ask the server admin if they're ok with that?

M4rtineski commented 2 weeks ago

Admin said that that automatic copy/paste of the markdown into the body even though I'm spending hours on it and the automation saves a few minutes at most make the account a bot. Closed. :3

We got a green light to be exempted from bot status.

Well, I closed it before we even finished the task... Bringing it back now. xD

I've unset the bot setting as I was in there to create the 2nd directory post. I've put a note in the bio as to what it is used for and that we have permission for it to not be marked as a bot.

Bringing it back because I want to change the wording a bit later. :3

M4rtineski commented 1 week ago

Changed my mind on the wording. It should be alright.
