I mean, there are people who literally want to literally purge it from this site, who think it has no right to exist, even as it labors tirelessly to lead us into the future. It’s a hostile environment these days.
OK, now I understand what you were saying. You like the bot. And that you were pleased that it responded to you and not the others in this thread.
I like the bot just fine. I wish people would take the tutorial. But I think people should get modded for summoning the bot in a serious thread to make a joke with the fortune feature or the dice feature. That will wear thin after a while. YMObviouslyV
As I’ve pointed out above, it is a bot, no different from the spambots that running_coach has had so much success pointing out to the mods, and the mods have had so much success removing. I’ll concede that it might be nice if each Doper had the choice to use or turn off the narrative bot for their own user experience; but if that’s not possible, and it has to be done globally, that’s the action that I strongly urge the admins to take at the earliest opportunity.
The SDMB is the best message board on the internet because of our dedicated moderating staff. The presence of the narrative bot is a slap in the face to their hard work and abilities.
