One of the many joys of Matrix is that making bots that do useful or amusing things is simple and fun. Unfortunately, like everything made of software, making things is a lot simpler and more fun than maintaining them, so we have a few things we need to ask of bot developers to keep Matrix usable and sustainable for everyone. | One of the many joys of Matrix is that making bots that do useful or amusing things is simple and fun.

=== Bot Guidelines === | |||
This list isn't mandatory, but we ask that you consider these suggestions carefully. | This list isn't mandatory, but we ask that you consider these suggestions carefully. | ||
* Please use a service account! You can request one in Bugzilla, under [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=Infrastructure%20%26%20Operations&component=Matrix Infrastructure & Operations :: Matrix]. This lets us restrict account access to only what the bot needs, and if your bot misbehaves we can disable the service credentials rather than disabling yours. | |||
* If your bot sends messages automatically, consider building in some rate-limiting so it doesn't spam people or channels accidentally. | |||
* Remember: like all Mozilla forums, Matrix is governed by our [https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/about/governance/policies/participation/ Community Participation Guidelines], and *author are responsible for their bot's actions*. | |||
* Finally, as a courtesy we ask that you add your bot to the following list in case somebody needs to contact you. | |||
