The ban reason is that ‘the account is automated or maintained by a bot’. However, I think it is expected that a chatbot is maintained by a bot. Even the IRC’s documentation says that I can use my personal account or create a new one, specifically for the bot.
Are there any additional steps that can indicate that a given account is a bot so it won’t be banned for such reason? I am thinking about something like a bot’s registration page or something like that, dunno.
If that is not a question for the forum then sorry, I will raise a support ticket.
