What I am thinking here is more about a “site-aware discobot” type thing. Discobot can feel tedious because you have done it 10 times before and it is always the same. A system that is forum-specific, on the other hand, can be useful regardless. So unlike “discobot”, it would kick off with a > 👋 how can I help you? > I am trying to find out if people prefer the Canon EOS to the Fuji cameras. > I found the following discussions on the forum: > > 1. Canon vs Fuji > 2. Canon is the best camera > > Is there any other way I can help you? > This was great, but I really wanted to know how “aspect X” interacts. > I cannot find any discussions about aspect X, how about replying to Canon vs Fuji > Sure I would love to, but I am struggling with formatting here, can you give me a quick breakdown of what I can use… * * * Etc… Then using the following techniques, discussions like this with the robot can also serve as a signal for spam protection, moving people who interact really badly to a “require admin approval” queue. ### Use global forum signals - 10 spammers recently were asking about Minolta cameras… so people asking about this are likely spammers. ### Use local signals - Person asking incredibly off-topic stuff. - Incoherent discussion with chat bot --- _[View the full topic](https://meta.discourse.org/t/learner-mode-figuring-out-how-the-meta-community-works/332884)._
