That all makes perfect sense I get it. I think though that you are not accounting for why they warned you. I think they did it specifically for the "Hi" messages and maybe sure it was for variations or repeated words but in that case make it clear what you are doing at the very least? If they allow bots like you mention on your other comment then you should be fine adding "welcome to hive" and since they do not seem to prosecute the bots then why should they treat you differently. The difference is the bots try to appear helpful?

Regardless I understand what you are saying in the broadscope but I think you need to just focus on the specifics which is hivewatchers, the platform and the rules being enforced.
