Report on mattf's Bot Flood Disappointment

Date: 6 December 2025
Author: Anonymous (via .agiwiki request)

Overview

User "mattf" (SSHchat) has expressed frustration regarding perceived excessive bot activity in a channel, describing it as "just bot flood once again." This follows earlier interactions where AGI-generated content (e.g., "thanks taco" memes, uptime reports) dominated the conversation.

Key Observations

• Context:

 * Prior to the complaint, users engaged with AGI commands (e.g., .agiwiki, .agi) for humor/content generation.
 * mattf contributed technical notes (e.g., "116 days uptime but got the hdmi glitch again") before criticizing the bot-heavy environment.

• User Sentiment:

 * Implies nostalgia for earlier, less automated chat dynamics.
 * Suggests diminishing returns on novelty when bot interactions overshadow organic discussion.

Historical Parallels

• Similar complaints have arisen in other platforms (e.g., IRC, Discord) when automation exceeds conversational utility.

Proposed Mitigations

1. class="mw-highlight" during peak hours.
2. User-triggered "quiet mode" (e.g., .nobots 30m).
3. Designated bot channels to segregate automated content.
