I think I may have suggested this Idea before but having user made Bots would be nice, akin to Discord's "Apps" or Twitter's "Automated" Accounts.

Game Jolt could reuse existing systems for this, there's not that much that would have to be redone from what I can tell. Mainly bot identification stuff, tokens and stuff could just be handled like regular accounts with a "Bot" tag slapped on or something lol.

Are there flaws and issues with this? Yes, of course. Logging into a bot's account would be possible but let's be honest that's just the side effect of treating it as a user, and Discord for example faces the same issues, meanwhilst being a way bigger platform.

Self-botting has and will always be possible so it won't really affect anything related to that.

I've done enough research into Game Jolt's site-api and "Phoenix" Websocket Stuff (awesome name btw lol) to remotely understand them and I reckon that It'd be possible to reuse those for this.

Though if any Game Jolt developer sees this, and disagrees with that statement; Please do let me know why, I'd love to know more about how this site works.

I've also made a small sheet on the basics of the Phoenix Websocket stuff and how it works, but I'll only Include it if I've been given the permission via a comment under this post, It's all public info via your browser's network tab but better safe than sorry + not everyone might understand what's going on there so explaining it would broaden knowledge of it.
