Title: Are bot accounts allowed ?
Post by: legendster on June 21, 2015, 04:12:20 PM
I was hoping to get someone to code a script that I can use with a new account and have it post tweets from my twitter profile which had the #Bitcoin (https://twitter.com/hashtag/bitcoin) tag.

Am I allowed to do this ? As in to create a bot account made for just replies ? Any rules / regulations I should be aware of before proceeding down this lane ?

Bots will be subject to the same rules that human accounts are subject to.

The rules are the same as for humans. But keep in mind:
- No one is allowed to access the site more often than once per second on average. (Somewhat higher burst accesses are OK.)
- Every post must be on-topic. Any bot response to a topic is almost certainly off-topic. Changetip's behavior of responding to user commands publicly would not be allowed, for example.
- If someone complains about an unsolicited PM you send them, then you're probably going to be banned.
