While I know there are many who enthusiastically and adamantly tout the wonders of AI, I for one, am sick of the Bot screenwriters pitching their extraordinary services to me offering to be the magic bullet between me and ultimate professional nirvana.
Recommendation: Stage32, please moderate and delete bot accounts. I have spotted a series of Bot tip-offs, but I will not write them in this post because I do not want to contribute to training AI.
These are annoying, irritating and time-wasting,

Philip Sedgwick thank you for raising this, and thank you for not listing the tells publicly. That instinct is exactly right. If there is an account that you’re concerned about, please report it to us immediately.
And I want to say this to everyone reading, not just to Philip:
Please report suspicious accounts, posts, comments, or messages to us ASAP. Email Support@Stage32.com or me directly at Community@Stage32.com. We investigate every report and we remove bad actors quickly. But bots and spammers get more sophisticated every single day, and they will always find ways past spam filters. That’s true of every platform on the internet, and it’s why we need this community watching out for each other.
If you get a strange DM and simply delete it, and the next person does the same, that account stays active and keeps working its way through our members. Reporting it is how we get it out. One report can protect thousands of people. A profile link and a screenshot is all we need.
We have over 1.5 million members here, and the thing that actually makes this place different from everywhere else online is that we look after each other. Our team is in these spaces with you every day, and every report that comes in gets read by an actual person who does something about it.
So please, when something feels off, tell us. That’s not a bother. It’s the whole system working.
Thank you again, Philip. I’ll watch for your email.

Stage 32 is dealing with them, check your network and you will see accounts deleted. But they still need alerts from us too.
My priority must be my work, not policing websites I frequent. Between the bots and the corruption of inane "please fund my movie" posts on the jobs board, it is difficult to justify the time required to participate.
Yup.
