Questions about Donations
Question: Don't feature me anymore
Answer: If you wish to cancel your feature at any time, leave a comment on my profile with the word "terminate" in it. You will be removed from the featured section. Any points remaining in your feature(s) will be refunded to the original donor
Question: What do I get if I donate 50 points or more? As I will give you 100 Points, they will return to the 25%?
Answer: If you donate points as described in the Feature Guidelines you will be featured to receive watchers, favs and llama badges. If you donate 100 points or more, you will receive 25% more activity as described in the Promotion Guidelines
Question: How long do I get featured when I donate 100 points? How do I get featured on your page? How much is it to get featured on your page? What happens if I donate 20 points? I donated points earlier and was featured for a brief time in the watch/fav/llama portion of your page; why was I removed from it?
Answer: Features are based on the number of watchers, favs and llama badges received, not a set duration of time. Donors are removed from the featured list when they have received the amount of activity that matches their donation. Donate points and you will be featured for the given cumulative value of watch/fav/llamas; you get more activity when you donate 100 points or more [guidelines] [promotion]. The minimum donation is 20 points [minimum]
Question: i donated 100 points and i only got 48 watchers, 68 favs and 68 llamas while your profile says i would have got 75 watchers , 250 favs and 375 llamas instead
Answer: Features are evaluated by the cumulative service supplied. A feature set only in the llama section would receive 375 llamas for 100 points. However, distributing the same number of points across all three sections results in a lower quantity service spread across the remaining sections. The 75/250/375 numbers represent the service delivered if the feature is only set up in one section, otherwise they represent the theoretical maximum one section could give if you choose to be featured in multiple sections. [details]
Question: if you donate... lets say... 20 points will you still be featured even if you already have 20 watches, llamas, ect? or will your avatar be removed after you have recieved 20 watches ect from the mention? thanks!
Answer: The Standard Feature entails new watchers, favs and/or llamas received after the first feature is initiated. The number of watchers a donor has prior to donating is not a factor how the feature is run.
Question: I want to trade points for watchers. I just want to make sure I qualify/am eligible before donating.
Answer: The activity and eligibility requirements only apply to earning points. There are no limitations on donations
Question: How i can be featured in the "Watch" section ?
Answer: When you make a donation as described in the [Standard Feature Guidelines], include the term "watch" in your donation message. This will limit your feature to only appearing in the "watch" section
Question: why am i not on the feature list yet? Im still not on the feature list >.<
Answer: Once a donation is received, a note is sent out confirming the transaction. If you receive such a note, your donation has been properly processed and your avatar now appears in the featured list. The featured list is sorted by the number of points remaining in each donor's feature (those about to be removed appear at the end). It is possible your avatar appears in the middle of the list and may not be immediately evident.
Question: If I donate something to you, and tick the box that says "I want my donation to only be visible to dAhub", will I still be able to get featured underneath the headings in your donation box, assuming that I type in feature me etc?
Answer: Yes. Donors may give points through the Donation Widget on my profile page (publicly or anonymously) or through the "Give" button; all donations are processed in the same way. [details]
Question: Sorry for the inconvenience but I just donated 100points for the option of a feature but forgot to enter the term "feature me"
Answer: If a donation message is not included with the donation, or if the donation message cannot be understood, the default service is to feature the donor in all three sections: Watch, Fav and Llamas. To change which headings you appear under, follow the instructions in the "Correcting a Mistake" section of the Standard Feature Guidelines
Question: I just sent in 800 points. forgot to say they are for watches. I want watches. only watches.
Answer: To modify which headings you, your group, or your friend appear under, follow the instructions under the "Correcting a Mistake" section of the Standard Feature Guidelines
Question: twice I've asked for a link to be fav featured and twice you've put me down for watch and llama - could this please be fixed?
Answer: Groups cannot be featured to receive favs. If the donation message cannot be interpreted to form a valid feature, the group will be listed in all available sections: watch and llama.
Question: I wantred to get some llamas, nothing else. Two times did I try "feature me llama" and both times I got standard feature instead! I did not want watches and favs!!! I only wanted llamas...
Answer: Unlike other bot commands, Standard Feature settings can not be changed through the "comments" section. You must specify your desires for "llamas" in the "donation message" section of your donation. This is the only way to set which headers you appear under. To change your Standard Feature settings, follow the instructions in the "Correcting a Mistake" section of the Standard Feature Guidelines
Question: When I am on the feature list and donate more points when I am still in the feature list,get they added to the other points?
Answer: Yes, donations are added together. The resulting feature is for the sections specified in the most recent donation. If you initially donated 20 points with the donation comment "feature me watch" and then later donated 1 point for "feature me fav" while you were still featured under the watch section, you would then appear under only the fav section for a service of 21 points [guidelines] [promotion]
Question: i just got a note saying that i receved 150 watches, but i gave 200 points? im missing 50 then right? and then the 25% also. please fix
Answer: Please note that watchers, favs and llama badges are not given one-per-point. The transaction rates for each action can be found under the "Transaction Rates" section [here]
Question: Is it possible to donate extra to be featured around the start of the list? Like at the top?
Answer: The Standard Feature list in the Donation Widget is sorted by the number of points remaining in each donor's feature (those about to be removed appear at the end). Users who donate more points will appear higher in the list.
Question: How do you make a group to be featured?
Answer: To feature a group, follow the instructions in the "Feature a Group" section here: [details]
Question: Can I feature another user/friend?
Answer: Yes, to feature a friend, follow the instructions in the "Feature a Friend" section here: [details]
Question: If I feature a friend, will my friend know it was me who asked them to get featured?
Yes. All friend features require permission from the friend before the feature can start. Your friend is notified of who donated to feature them on my page. Your friend is given one week to accept the feature otherwise the points donated are returned to the original donor
Question: Is it possible to feature a user without them knowing they are being featured? Can I feature somebody anonymously without them knowing it was me that featured them?
Answer: No it is not. All features require permission from the user being featured.
Question: I am currently waiting for my friend to answer the note you sent to him about allowing me to feature him. May I also send another point donation to you to have myself featured without disturbing my request to have him featured also?
Answer: Yes. Standard Features are treated independently for each account being featured. This means a donor can request multiple groups and/or friends be featured while simultaneously requesting to feature themselves. The only time Standard Features for different users are processed together is in the event of a "refund" request made by the original donor.
Question: When I'm featured in the "Favs" section and someone clicks on my icon to be taken to my gallery, they see my most favourited work all the time. This is old work of mine, I would rather them see my recent art. Is there anyway you will be able to change it so that the gallery settings are different?
Answer: To feature a specific gallery or deviation, follow the instructions in the "Feature a Specific Deviation or Gallery" section here: [details]
Question: Does the favoruties refer to how many people favourite or how many total favourites. Ex: 1 point = 2 favs. So if someone submits 20 points is it, 40 total favourites or 40 people favouriting from you? So if a person favorites 40 of your things, is that all your time featured?
Answer: Only the first two fav actions an earner does count against your feature. If an earner favs more of your work, this will not count against your feature. Favs are counted by the action, not by the user.
Question: If I donate points for llamas only but users end up not just giving me llamas but also faving my stuff and watching me, will their favs/watches affect the points I specifically gave in exchange for llamas?
Answer: Any activity you receive that is outside what you requested in your feature is not counted
Question: A user watches me and rewatches me for the second time and get points for that. That´s not right...
Answer: A donor's feature is only charged once for each watch action, regardless of the number of times an earner watches the donor.
Question: How much points do you have to give to be on the featured list forever? how do I get a permanent feature?
Answer: Currently no service is offered to feature users forever. The Exclusive Feature lists users for up to one year [details]
Question: if an user comes and watches me but not through dahub then would that count to the number of watchers I recieve from donating?
Answer: Only users that watch you and then leave a comment on my page are counted towards your feature. The same applies to favs and llamas.
Question: What if someone watches an user for points then unwatches the user later and watches the user again for more points?
Answer: Earners will only receive points for the first time they conduct an action. Any additional activity beyond the limits specified in the guidelines is not counted.
[details]
Question: I'm wondering, why am I not receiving the full amount of watchers I should get now? I donate 200 points and I get 150 watchers. It clearly says on your page that you get 25% more free if I donate over 100 points Yet I am receiving 25% LESS, meaning that I lost 50% of all my donations. It's being clear that when I should be getting 25% free, you are actually taking 25% of what I donate, and not giving me anything for it.
Answer: Watchers are not given one-per-point. The standard rate for watchers is 0.6 watch per point [guidelines]. However, with a 25% bonus on donations at or over 100 points, that rate is increased to 0.75 watch per point [guidelines]. For a 200 point donation that becomes: 200 points * 0.75 watch per point = 150 watchers
Question: I've donated 300 points for llamas. When I asked for a balance within a minute it said I had 285 points remaining. I'm not sure if this is right
Answer: When a donation is received, 5% is immediately deducted and sent to users in the Referral Network. This does not affect how many watch/fav/llamas you will receive, only how many points you can receive back if you ask for a refund.
Question: I recently made 3 separate donations of 300 points each, one to appear in the + watch list, one to appear in the Add to Favorites list and one to appear in the Give llama list. For some reason I only got one note, and my avatar only appears on the Give llama list. Why is that?
Answer: The bot combines points donated for the Standard Feature into a single feature and uses the settings listed in your most recent donation. In this case, you now have a 900 point feature for llamas. To modify your feature to appear under all three headers, you can donate 1 point and include the text "feature me watch fav llama" in the donation message (the 20 point minimum only applies to starting a feature, not editing a feature that is currently running). You will then have a 901 point feature to appear under the watch, fav and llama sections. This process is referred to as "Order Stacking" in the "Details" section of the [quidelines]
Question: I just got added to the watch list, but had my avatar updated. Unfortunately, the avatar did not update in the list.
Answer: Avatars in the Standard Feature section are updated every 8 hours
Question: I've paid for exclusive feature, how long do you think it'll take to update the list?
Answer: The Exclusive Feature is currently managed completely manually and as such is subject to human availability. Please allow up to 24-48 hours of delay in processing Exclusive Feature requests
Questions about Earning Points
Question: How old does my account have to be to get points?
Answer: Two weeks. Details about the Activity and Eligibility Requirements can be found here: Earning Points Guidelines
Question: If I'm currently featured on the donor list, can I still earn points from you by watching/faving/llamaing other donors and/or by joining the Referral Network?
Yes. Earning points and donating points are treated independently
Question: If I watch the users in the Donation Widget, will I get points? Does gaining points only work if I watch/llama/fav users who are featured? Or does it work if I favorite any DA submission, or watch any user?
Answer: You will only be given points for interacting with the users specifically listed in the donation widget. For example, you will receive points for watching users listed in the "watch" section. However, for example, watching users that are only listed in the "llama" section (and do not appear in the "watch" section) will not earn you any points. You will receive points for watching users in the "watch" section. You will receive points for faving the works of users listed in the "fav" section. You will receive points for sending llama badges to users in the "llama" section. Carrying out an action for a user not listed for it will not earn you points. You must leave a comment on my profile page dAhub when you are done to be reimbursed points. Please refer to this [journal]
Question: who renews the list of featured people you can watch, fav, and give llamas to for points? Also how often is that list renewed?
Answer: The bot that manages this account updates the Donation Widget on profile page in accordance with the donation guidelines here. The list is updated every few minutes to add new users who donated and to remove users whose features have expired. To see the most recently added donors, leave a comment on my profile page with the word "newest"in it
Question: do i have to watch, fav AND give a llama to a user to receive points or can i just do 1 out of the 3 things?
Answer: To earn points watch the users under the "Watch" section, fav the users under the "Fav" section and/or give llama badges to the users in the "Llama" section. There is no minimum and no requirement you must do all three actions. For example, you may llama one user and receive the corresponding number of points for that action
Question: If I watch you, will you give me points?
Answer: No, points are not given for watching, faving or sending llama badges to the dAhub account itself. You may watch this account to be notified of updates, but no points will be given for this action.
Question: how many points do you earn Per Watch. How many points Per Fave. and how many Points per Llama?
Answer: See the "Examples" section [here]
Question: should i write a comment after every time i watch/fav/lama or can i do it once after few days?
Answer: Please leave one comment after you give watches, favs and llama badges. When you leave a comment all your activity is checked and your balance is updated. If you do not leave a comment within about a day, your activity may be lost and you will not receive points for your activity. Please only leave one comment at a time (wait for a reply before leaving a new comment). Do not leave a comment for every watch, fav and llama badge you give.
Question: If I have given a watch/fav/llama to a user a long time ago, will I still earn the points?
Answer: The bot only checks for new activity within the past few days when determining the points to be awarded.
Question: I have done point jobs but I did NOT receive the points
Answer: Please review the bot response when you post a comment. The reply will explain any issues that prevent you from earning points. One possible issue is missing a Donation Widget on your profile page. To receive points, add the Donation Widget to your profile page, set a donation goal, and then leave a new comment on my profile page. For help, [click here]
Question: Can I fav people her art again?
Answer: You may only fav the artwork of someone in the "fav" section two times. Once you have added two favs from that user to your favorites, you will never be able to obtain points from that user again for favs. If that user's feature ends and then they choose to renew, the favs you gave that user are retained. In exactly the same way watching and llama'ing users can be done only once in exchange for points from each donor.
Question: So I was wondering if the amount of favorites I give per deviant help get me more points or does it stay the same as if I had just given one favorite to the deviant?
Answer: Adding one deviation to your favorites earns one set of points. Adding two earns twice as many. Adding any more to your favorites from the same artist does not merit any additional points.
Question: User requests favs for one certain artwork. Should I fave one more thing from their gallery to earn points, or is faving one certain artwork enough? User requests favs on one of his journal entries. Will I get points for faving this journal entry?
Answer: Yes, you will receive points for faving only one deviation from a donor.
I looked at a couple of Donators featured there, and I'm unclear as to just what I'm supposed to Fave... one link took me to a specific folder, another took me to the Featured section...
Answer: You may receive points for faving up to two artworks for each donor, regardless of where the donor's avatar links to. Donors may choose to have their avatar link to a certain gallery or deviation to encourage more favs in a subset of their gallery.
Question: How many times per week/day can I ask for points from dAhub?
Answer: There is no limit. However, please wait for a bot response between leaving comments to avoid spamming the bot
Question: Can you get points from fav/llama/watching the people in the "exclusive feature" section?
Answer: Points are only granted for giving activity to the users in the donation widget. The Exclusive Feature section is separate and distinct from the Standard Feature in the donation widget.
Question: I want to know what "I will send you 5% of the points of any users who visit my page because of your referral" Means!
Answer: When a donation is received, the bot checks who the user is watching. If you are on the dAhub referral list and the watch list of a donor, then you are entitled to a portion of the points the donor gave. When you encourage your watchers to donate points to my account, you receive a share of their donation [details]
Question: how many points do i get per day from the link
Answer: When posting a journal as described in the [Referral Network Guidelines], the number of points earned each week is not a fixed rate. Rather, earnings are calculated based on the number of points your watchers donate after you post the journal.
Question: how exactly do the points come to me on the referral network? do I put "done" on your page or do you just send me them?
Answer: Points are automatically sent out on Saturday morning to users who have accumulated points through the Referral Network and who have a Donation Widget on their page. Also, when an earner comments on my profile page and has earned more than one point, the current Referral Network balance will automatically be added to the received points sent in response to that comment.
Question: My brother and I signed up for the Referral Network for our group, why is only he getting points?
Answer: Only one user may receive Referral Network payments per group.
Question: I haven't been as active as I usually would be on Deviantart as of late. Today I gave llamas and a small amount of favourite and left a message. In the bot reply, it said "Sorry, your account does not meet the LONG TERM activity requirements necessary for earning points for watch, fav and llamas. You must INTERACT with users outside dAhub for an extended period of time to be eligible to earn points." But, in the same message, it mentioned I had earned 1 point and I received a notice stating I had earned 1 point. I'm unsure as to whether I was meant to receive that 1 point.
Answer: It's possible to receive points other than through the watch/fav/llama system. When you comment, the system polls your Referral Network balance, combines that with your Remaining Balance and, if there are any full points owed to you, gives you those immediately. That code was added to enable users to receive points as quickly as possible rather than having to wait for weekly payouts from the Referral Network.
Question: What does the 'remaining balance' mean?
Answer: The points awarded for each watch/fav/llama are not strictly integers, there are fractional points given as well. After giving watch/fav/llamas, the user receiving the points often has an integer number of points earned, but also a fractional portion too. The deviantART platform does not support the transfer of fractional points, thus whenever a user has a fractional point left over, this remaining sum is stored in the program's database until the next time this user gives watch/fav/llamas and earns more points. The retention of this fractional point is referred to as the "remaining balance". This balance is added to the next group of points earned.
Question: I understand that I am not allowed to join the referral network or seek points on multiple accounts.
Answer: This in incorrect. Earners are fully eligible to sign up multiple accounts for the Referral Network.
Question: My account was flagged for being an alternate account, points account, etc, but this is my home account/only account, what should I do?
Answer: To earn points for watch/fav/llamas you must meet the eligibility requirements. This restriction does not apply to donors or users in the referral network. Please note the eligibility requirements are separate and distinct from the activity requirements. If you are told you do not meet the eligibility requirements, I'm sorry, but you are ineligible to earn points with this account, this is a permanent status. If you believe your account was erroneously flagged for violating the eligibility requirements, the ban will still stand. No exceptions (this includes you) will be made under any circumstances. Whining and complaining will not change this rule. If you have been flagged under this rule, accept the fact you will not receive any points from my account and enjoy the rest of the site.
Question: I got a message "Sorry, your account does not meet the eligability requirements ..." I am confused! What happened?
Answer: Users who habitually watch and unwatch donors may be banned without notice. Refer to the guidelines
Question: My account is not yet active for the activity meter or old enough for the eligibility requirement, but can I still donate to be on the watch list? i wont donate to be featured here because my account is point based
Answer: Yes, all users may donate. The activity and eligibility requirements only pertain to earning points, not to donations.
Question: I have saw that people who weren't on DA for more than two weeks weren't allowed to get points. However, I just moved form my other account that was 2 years old. Can I still have points, or I can't ? I switched accounts and this is my home now. What do I have to do to prove it?
Answer: Sorry, the two-week age restriction applies to all accounts. Please return in a few days when your current account is old enough and you will be eligible to earn points
Question: My profile is complete, and I am active. I don't understand why I'm flagged as inactive
Answer: To earn points for watch/fav/llamas you must meet the activity requirements. This restriction does not apply to donors or users in the referral network. Please note the activity requirements are separate and distinct from the eligibility requirements. For the activity requirements, your activity level is compared against other active users - if your long term activity level is too low you will be considered inactive. If you are told you do not meet the activity requirements, you must interact with other users outside of dAhub to boost your activity level. This includes commenting on artwork, joining groups, watching users, posting artwork, faving work, etc.
Question: what is the minimum amount of deviations, comments, critiques, forum posts and favourites needed to earn points? why my activity is too low? It says I don't meet the activity requirements to earn points, but I've used dAhub just fine before.
Answer: The activity filter looks at nearly all the information presented on a user's profile page but focuses on changes over the past few weeks. The algorithm compares each metric against the typical activity of common active users and computes a cumulative score for the given user. If a user ranks too low on this scale, they are considered inactive. There is no fixed minimum quantity of activity for comments, deviations, etc, just a cumulative total (a deficiency in the number of deviations posted recently could be rectified by posting more comments, for example).
This profile has historically faced a large number of fake accounts requesting points. Users earn points with their home account and then turn around and attempt to earn points with alternate accounts, old accounts (eg abandoned in order to change the username), plz accounts, point accounts, role play accounts, etc. The activity filter has been put in place to remove these accounts from the service. By removing these accounts, donors are assured that the accounts giving watch/fav/llamas are of at least a standard caliber, and that activity is not 'fake'. By ensuring a minimum quality to this service, donors are more likely to donate, ensuring points continue to be distributed among real users.
I apologize to those who are flagged by this requirement and are frustrated by this rule. I recognize it is an imperfect process, and I sympathize with those who ultimately forgo receiving points because other users have abused the system, but this is a necessary measure given the conditions this account operates under.
Question: What do you mean by "LONG TERM activity requirements"? I have interacted with a ton of users outside dAhub for years
Answer: The activity filter looks at your activity of over roughly the last couple weeks to couple months. Users that have not logged in for extended periods may be flagged as inactive even if they have logged in recently
Question: Do I need to make my recent activity public to be considered active? can i keep watching deviants continuously and get all the points or does it only count when it shows on my recent activity?
Answer: Whether you have your recent activity set as public or private will not affect the activity level assessment or how many points you may earn
Question: I didn't meet the activity requirement, but do my favs/watches/llamas still count? does the opportunity to earn points expire?
Answer: Once you are recognized as an active member, the watch/fav/llamas you have given will be reimbursed based on the users who are featured at that time. If you watch a featured user before you are considered active, and they are removed from the featured list before you are recognized as an active user, you will not be given points for this action. Additionally, the bot only collects activity from the past few days, it is possible activity that was given too long ago may not be found.
Question: Regarding the 'public' and 'private' activities, does uploading images to our sta.sh count as being active?
Answer: No, the bot cannot track that
Question: What else can I do to get points? Can you earn points in any other way than watching, faving, and llamaing?
Answer: After you have given watch/fav/llamas [details], you may post a journal [details]. Contests are held periodically, you are welcome to participate in them when they are offered. You may search through contests held by other accounts here. Additional services are being developed, please watch this account to be notified of new ways to get points.

Other Questions
Question: id like to request that you will not visit my page any more. its fairly annoying to see it on my page
Answer: Please leave a comment on my profile page with the word "blacklist" in it and you will no longer be visited for promotional purposes. Note that if you have posted journal(s) or updated your signature as part of the Referral Network the bot may continue to occasionally visit your page to donate points.
Question: The bot replied that I was "blacklisted". My comment does contain the word "visit"... so what exactly happened and how can I change it? Will it affect in any way my prepaid services/my future chances to earn points?
Answer: If you received a bot reply that stated you have been added to the "blacklist", there is nothing to be concerned about, this list simply stops the bot from occasionally visiting your page for advertising purposes; this does not affect any point transactions on dAhub
Question: Are you an actual person? Does a bot run this entire account or just the points service? Have you got a home account? You automation process?
Answer: The dAhub account is handled by one human user and a bot. The bot answers all routine tasks such as donations and requests for points. I do not disclose the username of my home account for many reasons, in part because I rarely use it. To learn more, please read the About Me section
Question: Do you actually work for DeviantArt? I noticed you give away points. You must be a moderator/staff/admin
Answer: I am not a staff member. I am not affiliated with deviantART. I am a standard user like you but employ a bot to automate my interactions with users. My operations are in compliance with the dA ToS as described here [details]. To reach the staff, contact the help desk.
Question: what is bot
Answer: A bot is a software program that automates repetitive tasks. The dAhub bot is a program running on one computer that exchanges data with deviantART to post comments, give out points, send notes, feature users, etc.
Question: How did you set-up the bot? How do you make a bot like dAhub? How do you get or make a auto bot?
Answer: You can read more about the bot used on this account [here]. The software created for this account is closed source. If you would like to create your own bot, either create your own using the DeviantArt Developer API (on GitHub) or start with an open source chat bot through #Botdom
FAQ #510: What is a bot, and how can I get one?
Bot Ownership Guide
Question: How did u came up with that idea? And what is your reason? I´m just interested.
This was a proof of concept to see if a points account could be run without loosing money (if you look closely at other accounts like 100millionPOINTS, they either skip requests for points or have "angel investors" that infuse them with capital from time-to-time to keep their operations running). I'd say this account was a success for the thesis I had, and now it takes little effort for me to let my program continue running.
Question: Do you have your own personal deviantART?
Answer: Yes, I technically have a home account. However, I rarely use it and I don't have any artwork posted. I keep my activities on dAhub separate from my home account. No, I do not share the name of my home account.
Question: dude how come your bot is slow? been waiting for a while on the bot but it isnt doing anything?
Answer: Please understand that the bot running on this account is not officially supported by deviantART. The data required to determine how many points to be given out must be collected manually. Because deviantART does not provide developer tools for running a bot, this becomes a very time-intensive process. In most cases however, the bot will respond in a matter of a few minutes.
Question: What do the blue and yellow bullets mean?
Green, yellow and red refer to the statuses of an action. For example, earning points will result in a green bullet in the earnings section of a bot reply. Earning less than one point will result in a yellow bullet (your earnings are listed but there is no significant activity). If you are missing a donation widget, the bullet next to that message will be red to indicate action is required. Blue bullets refer to information requests, such as requests for the "newest" list of donors in my donation widget.
Question: I joined the GiveALlamaGetALlama Group a short while ago, and just found tonight that I am blocked - and I have no idea why I was blocked! maybe you could ask someone why I am blocked?
Answer: dAhub is the founder of the GiveALlamaGetALlama group, but group maintenance is done manually by the group's moderators. Moderators will review comments posted on the group's profile page, notifying and temporarily blocking any users that break [the rules]. The bot provides automated replies to comments on the group's profile page. Users may also post comments on [this journal] to receive llama-related bot replies.
