Please let bots post on forums. They form a significant part of the forum playerbase and make the forums a lot more fun. We all want the bots back on the forums...
If they really want to post they can make a human account. That is allowed.
@SavageAntarctican yeah. I am @XXiStCentury btw. While i play long games with people, i get bored so i want to chat in forums with other people.
There is nothing wrong going to happen when bots post in forums.
@AHappyBee You already have told me that you are @xxistcentury before.
@SlicingBishop2006 #2 yes but as @AHappyBee said, people want bots to be online for significant parts of the day (other than bots on the cloud, but that is hard to do), but then they get bored during games. Obvioualy, having 2 forum posting accounts would cause confusion, so they use 1 account - the bot account.

Already been discussed: lichess.org/forum/lichess-feedback/why-bots-cannot-post-in-forums-anymore#2
@bufferunderrun I don't get it. How is it important that we put a bot API on the forums? We are not trying to get chatbots on the forum...
It's simple, use your human account. Bots are not meant to be posting in forums.
But why make that decision now? @xxistcentury, among others, was a great account to have on the forums. Plenty of humans who are jerks can post, but one bot who is pretty nice and friendly can't? I understand why Lichess did this, but why now? I respect Lichess' opinion on this, but wonder what made them change the rule recently.
Yes we can use our human accounts, but what about those bots who want to stay online all day, but at the same time, post in forums. Swtiching between accounts is clearly not possible there. And yes, while I do respect lichess's decision on this, I have to wonder why you all never looked onto this as a problem before. I have to also agree with @Francis920.
I only have a few questions: if people will use their bot account for most of the day, then they can post with their bot account because its quite infeasible at times to switch accounts without leaving the game. What exactly is wrong with this? And why suddenly now?
