Same, it's easier to jump into than opening a browser and navigating via bookmark or typing.

Something like automoderator I wholeheartedly agree should be built in. That said, obnoxious or not, you can do some crazy cool stuff with bots.

Instead of bots just being global and having free reign, perhaps a "whitelist" or "invite bot to community" feature, so only those bots people want could have access.

(Though that said, in the end, nothing stops the determined from manually implementing bots anyway, even in the absence of official support)

That's unfortunate. At least on reddit there were a lot of fantastic, community specific bots that wouldn't make sense as a global plugin. Unless you're meaning these plugins could be created and managed by individual communities..
