    I think he means add a way to automatically submit logs to the website through the bot itself.  Which is kinda an ok idea, however I vote against it for the following reasons.

    1. The bot will always log, even with no errors, we would end up with 'reports', or 'submitted' logs that contain no errors, and other useless data to us.

    2. Even if the bot did log an error, It would have no description of what happened, or what caused the error aside from the log itself.

    3. It would not include what the user was doing prior to or what caused the bot to error.

    Yep, Im still saying we should continue like this, its very simple to submit a log to the bug tracker, and adding context is quite easy as well.

    If this is not what you were suggesting, then please correct me, but otherwise I dont believe this is a valued idea at the time. It could however, be an ok idea, if uploading the log automatically, redirected you to the 'submit a bug' page, and then the forms were changed to require information before submitting, so we dont get tons of logs with no explanations. You need to remember a key factor..... A person is smart... But people are usually stupid and will panic for no apparent reason. If a new user were to see multiple bug reports posted without knowing that they were blank, or did not contain errors, it could give them the opinion our bot has many bugs, which would be false. The bad just out weigh the good imo.
