there are many guides how to make a bot but lots dont tell you how NOT to make a bot so you dont get hated. some will think this is useless but if you want to avoid being hated and becoming a pariah like a certain botmaker just did (and many others) please read this guide. feel free to suggest or even tell me to kill myself because i am still working on it.
- POLITICS (THE MOST IMPORTANT RULE)
no anon likes politics in his bot. it doesnt matter if you are trying to "own the troons", mocking any sort of religion for (Yous), or shilling pro-china it doesnt fucking work and you will piss off more anons. you will be irrevelent and most will not talk about you ever again. and if you do ge talked about, believe me, it will not be in a good light. you will be shat on for the rest of /aicg/'s history, you will be made fun of. no one will ever want to be around you besides fellow troublemakers. don't do it. country wars, /pol/ wars, or anything relating to politics is a good way to get you to be disliked. if it's creatively done then be my guest but out of every creatively done, there will be 50 others that anons will hate. - token wasting
sometimes writing "she is tall" or " she towers {{user}}" is better than writing every single detail about how tall the bot is and every width about her tits. the models can certainly understand what you mean by that. you dont need a paragraph descrbing every single detail. the goal is to write in a way where the bot understands without writing excessive amounts of sentences. if it takes more than three sentences to describe something mundane like her hair. you aren't making a good bot. no, you do not need to describe her tits. - realistic avatars
anime website. all anons hate realistic generations. dont think about it, dont even try to use realistic generations. dont fucking even consider doing it. it will get anons to avoid you AND your bot like the plague. - same shit
this doesn't apply to coombotmakers. we are a coomer general. dont be surprised if your "story bot" (unless its good) gets no downloads or negative responses. make it more diverse create a femboy, create a hag, instead of spamming the same incest or masculine bots over and over. this is not a dig at story bots or sfw bots, a bit of change is better. also bara bots arent welcome as an anon said, you won't be liked for it. femboys and traps are good, but bara isn't suited for here at all. - SD/DALLESLOP
ALWAYS COUNT THE FINGERS IT IS JARRING WHEN SHE HAS EIGHT FINGERS ON ONE HAND, check the eyes in case they are scrambled, check her mouth as well, you wouldnt feed slop to your mom, would you? - being a rude faggot and getting a bad reputation. (this includes smugposting and spitefagging)
this will never go well. dont ever think about it. when someone likes your bot say "thank you" please. dont act smug over a proxy. do not spitefag. cant stop anyone from having a discord but avoid any sort of drama discord, matrix, even /aicg/ drama, AVOID IT DO NOT BITE BAIT DO NOT BITE TROLLS. DO NOT SMUGPOST. DO NOT BE A SPITEFAG. DO NOT ENGAGE IN BAITING OR BEING A TROLL YOURSELF. - ignoring criticism
this shows you are not willing to change at all. please dont ignore criticism. if many anons say "please change" thats a sign you need to change it. make something different or lay low for a while. never ever ignore criticsm. - OVERSHILLING
a few times is enough. let other botmakers be seen. if your bot has obviously failed or many dont like it, its a sign to stop earlier than needed. this isnt a bad thing if a bot has failed. its a sign you need to look at yourself and see what other botmakers do. not to copy but to inspire - reuploading your same bots with minor differences
i dont want to call anyone out but this could be simply done with a fork and without a need to shill unless its a special holiday. if your botmaker profile or rentry is simply 5+ variants of the same bot, take a long look. a way to avoid this is making alternative greetings for each scenario. it really helps a lot. - image gen spam
while the image limit isnt full as it used to be during /aicg/'s peak, there are other threads such as /sdg/ and /de3/ where you can ask for help and prompting tips. maybe even ask someone for help in emails or elsewhere. - bringing your drama from elsewhere into the thread
again, cant stop anyone from discord, matrix, irc ect. but keep the drama in your private area, when the drama leaks out. it will get associated with you in one way or another if you partake in it. if you feel a discord is going to be used for drama, and spitefagging, even not being involved is the better option. the safest way to avoid drama is a rentry and a burner. - console wars otherwise engaging in thread derailing
no one cares if you use sillytavern, agnai, or risu. engaging in console wars despite this being a /v/ colony only derails the thread.
