> • Send team msgs (usually with pre-defined messages)

> • Upvote/Downvote Forum topics (implementing a simple if/else click this function)

> • Coach players (integrated with chatgpt or LLM and Lichess database of all games, can teach players)
>
> • Provide helpful information on subjects (usually in depth with formatting)
>
> • Follow or block users (depending on the programming and a list of names to pick, or based of a LLM personal choice)

@wannabegmonce) may be a BOT due to the fact that he seems to be able to play tournaments. If the user can also play games, talk and send team msgs... then there is a high probability that this user is a BOT.
