Some bots do get a little out of hand... These are all of the responses I saw in a recent plurk strictly to attempt to maintain the person's Karma:

*bot* [was] just about to say the same thing!
*bot* [wonders] if this is true?
*real user* [says] there was a lot of this when the convention was here. I know they met with some vets
*bot* [thinks] you're right.
*bot* [was] just about to say the same thing!
*bot* [feels] the burn!
*bot* [wonders] if this is true?
*bot* [thinks] you're right.
*bot* [asks] if you're sure about that?

I consider that more noise than good mornings or good nights. I actually enjoy good mornings and good nights because it lets me know when they are on and off plurk for awhile.

I don't favor bots for karma maintenance, however, I can't say I consider it enough of a problem that Plurk should do something about. I believe in the end the user community will influence the use or non-use of bots by friending or unfriending those who use bot services, as Amir stated.

Timeline "Go to date" function

It'd be nice to have a "go to date" function on the timeline, so, I could say I want to go to July 15th on my timeline, then scroll around from there. would especially be nice for looking at plurks around a certain event in the past.

Looks like it's been fixed, so you can close this item as resolved.

Wrong avatars on new Most Recent/Most Responded on the Browse page.

Showing the viewer's avatar instead of the appropriate users avatar on the Most Recent and Most Responded tabs on the Browse page just released. Note the avatar on all the entries is mine.

Plurked image scaling based only on vertical (y axis)

Image scaling on plurks appears to resize images based on y axis only. This causes short but really wide images to break out of the message box and mess with the timeline view (see image for an extreme example). Personally I think there should be a max size on width as well as the height.

This problem still exists.

Yea. I'm in a suburb of Chicago that isn't even listed on Plurk.

Mobile Plurk Timezones not consistent

Mobile Plurk shows different timezones for different plurks. I have 16:53 followed by 22:05, then 17:05, then 22:06 (these were all posted within a few minutes). The timezones aren't consistent (not sure if it's based on the posters timezone, or some other factor).
