I think instead of disambiguating between good and bad bots, they should just allow 'bot accounts' @NAME - bot. If bots want to do their thing, that is fine, and there's certainly a place for bot accounts, it's just when they mascaraed as people.
I'm not sure how you separate them out entirely, I would assume that twitter knows though.
- behindsight 7y ago(slightly offtopic, hope you don't mind) I believe the term is: masquerade. Though mascaraed is technically correct, it just denotes wearing mascara and not to "mask" oneself as someone else.
- a1369209993 7y agoI'm fairly sure "mascara" isn't valid as a intransitive verb (transitive would be applying mascara to something), so "when they mascaraed as people" would still be incorrect. Wearing mascara would be "when they were mascaraed as people". (Although it's probably a typo rather than a word choice error, so <shrug>.)
