Chat bots are a somewhat controversial presence in community as many see them as nothing but a nuisance. There have been calls to either remove these bots, move them to another location outside of Global Chat, or make them respond to commands by privately messaging users, rather than having bot messages be visible to all.

"silly bot" was a simple Node.JS bot written by [[Echoden|fox]], operating under the Uvias display name '''silly_bot'''.

Silly bot would (invisibly) listen to incoming messages sent in Global chat for as long as the script was active. When a chat participant sent a message matching certain arbritrary regexes, it may reply back with an accompanying message—either privately to the sender, or globally for everyone. For example, if a participant sent a message containing "''meow''", silly bot may privately reply to the participant "''meow''", "''mrrp''", "''mrow''", or "''mew''". For each message that matched a given regex, registered users were rewarded with "silly points", an arbitrary point system with no real value.

Silly bot also had a few commands users could invoke, such as '''!optout''' to opt out of replies, '''!leaderboard''' to view the top 10 users with the largest amount of silly points, or '''!help''' to view a list of commands.
