IMO, it would make the bot more helpful and make the community looks less messy.

These aren't bots run by the moderators of this community. They are bots that have been setup by UKF or whomever else.

I have tried messaging them from my .world moderators account requesting the same thing as the way they have implemented them is messy resulting in horrible titles and inefficient linking, particularly when used with apps but I have had no response from the team that runs this bot.

I don't want to be heavy handed in moderation and just straight ban the bot (despite my hatred for the way it is posting) however I also don't have the time to go through and edit every one of their posts properly.

If it is annoying others as much as it annoys me then I can go ahead and reach out to them on a different platform where they may take notice?

Ah I see. The bots can be useful for finding new tracks, but IMO they should have proper links at least (YT thumbnails would also be good).

If you have access to the bot creators on other channels, I personally would reach out and ask them to fix them.

It might be worth creating a META thread to see what people think of banning the bot.

I have reached out to UKF to see if it is them running the not and using their namesake and to ask them to sort it out.

I will wait for a reasonable amount of time to see if I get a response, if not then I will consider other options based on how people feel about the bots.

I personally don't want to see any bot posting but that is just my personal preference and realise that some people may want it, some people may just block bots in general and that they can help build the content on the community whilst there are less people posting.

Hope they reach out.

I am fine with with bots, but IMO they need to work well. The URL needs to be clickable and not just mere text.

Thanks man!
