Ask HN: Are bots that do not spam allowed on HN?

Please don't. The high-quality stuff from r/technology and r/programming gets posted here by users. Posting the rest would make HN worse.

Plus, you'd be competing with the other bots that are already doing that.

Absolutely. There are users who traverse particular sites and blindly shovel every piece onto HN, many at once.

Ok. I won't

Please no. While I am sure half the submitters are automated (every NYT article? Really?), it is not a net positive.

100+ posts per day, how is that not spam?
