Bots originated in the Internet Relay Chat world, where they were good scripts that automated much of the mundane. For example welcoming new members, providing certain information, can be automated.
Think of the Acceptance rating you often give when someone spams a one-liner. That could be automated with a bot. Doing that over and over again is a pretty mundane action, although very beneficial to the board.
Of course bots can be bad as well, particularly when they are hidden. Someone could create an account and manually nurse it past the Nookie Newbie level and then run a bot on it that would always give then karma whenever they post.
Most boards (and I assume this is one of them) do not allow bots. Most IRC chat rooms that allow bots require that they be identified as bots.
