Features

Poll feature - Admins can create polls and users can vote on them
Help functionality. The bot will PM helpul advice.
Welcome PM - the bot scans new applications to the site and sends a PM to the user with helpful info
Create a community. The bot will allow a user with a score above one you set to create a community via PM. The bot will add the user as a mod then de-mod itself. Useful for turning off open community applications and allowing trusted members to create communities.
Email new users between verifying email stage and admin acceptance stage (so new users don't get confused and think they're locked out of their accounts!)
A bunch of other helpful tools for Admins

Yeah its taken out in the latest version, although the linked bot probably won't run on other instances at the moment anyway because a lot of it is coded to lemmy.zip. I'm working to de-lemmy.zip-ify it and release a separate customizable docker container that any admin can basically plug and play with.

There probably is another way to calculate a "score" based on activity, user post/comment counts, that sort of thing. Just haven't had time to look into it.

That's good, it would definitely be cool to have a way to make communities remotely on different instances, like in case said other instance fits your community better or has more exposure.

There probably is another way to calculate a “score” based on activity, user post/comment counts, that sort of thing. Just haven’t had time to look into it.

Would probably be significantly slower and would result in lost points from deleted or removed posts and comments. Also would still have the issue of people just farming or upvoting themselves to bypass it, and pf course the fact that score is a popularity contest (at least on Instances with down-voting enabled).
