So far, there's only two and a half things the concensus agrees to reject: 1. Spam. 2. Venom. 2.5. Overly-repetitive.
Of course some bot-ism is going to happen, but I think we need human moderators to gauge the mood of the group and judge the level of, say, venom and adjust it on the fly.
Also, some topics come up and stay up too often. The moderators could decide to call a moratorium on .9 repeating or Cantor for a year or two, just to give it a rest. A bot can't really handle that.
