The purpose of a BOT tag isn’t to indicate quality or intent, it’s not even necessarily derogatory. Real people can be asinine and bots can be useful and informative. It’s to indicate the source was a bot. That’s still useful information.

A BOT tag is a great idea. They should also add the option for authors to disable BOT replies in their threads. Best of both worlds.

Excellent idea, with BOT replies disabled by default please. Mostly people don't want BOT posts.

Useful how? What am I supposed to do with that information? Is it actionable?
