The webcams could have used some heavenly touches from GMs. Respawning them after a disconnect was no fun.
@hide and @invisible commands would have been nice as well
Guild bot, Auctionbot, and ManaMarket have official blessing from GMs and admins, after much discussion and negotiating with the authors.
Confused Tree seems generally liked but has no official blessing.
Even in this thread, the "webcams" were controversial. I'm not sure they were close to getting official support.

I also heard someone suggest that TMW could host a "webcam" type thing. That went off into conversation about what benefit, if any, the webcams offer. If there was agreement on that, I never heard it.

Friendly bot status should always come with with a few @commands, most bots can benefit from hiding commands a lot, as well as auto-ban protection.

The necro is harmless and the reason for it is that obviously kook wants to keep discussing this topic.

If webcam bot had even fuller bot abilities, like roaming around on its own (rather than being stationary), that would make its broadcasts more interesting. It would be funny seeing people running away from it :alt-5:
