Description
Unsure about the optimal implementation, but AutoQuestionsBot is not technically labeled "bot", and comments a lot, so it floods the comments feed.
We should consider removing it in some way.
Maybe AutoQuestionsBot should be is_staff = True + is_bot = True and then the is_staff flag overpowers the is_bot flag when deciding whether or not to hide from the comments section by default.
