Moderation & Chat Bots
"Moderation Bots" are third-party game clients written to monitor, administer, or moderate users and/or third-party clients in game chat channels. While they are not used for cheating, Warden still disables them. Blizzard's stance on moderation bots calls them "Third-Party Programs". Many clans on Battle.net use moderation bots to keep the clan "channel" open at all times, and to allow multiple users to moderate the channel.
"Chat Bots" are third-party game clients that allow users to log into battle.net to chat with users or idle in the channel of their choosing. Warden still disables Chat bots too for the same reason as Moderation Bots.

Famous quotes containing the words moderation and/or chat:
“Moderation has been called golden by all the sages, which is to say precious, praised by all, and everywhere laudable. Go through the Bible: you will discover that those who requested moderation never had their prayers rejected.”
—François Rabelais (1494–1553)
“The young women [in England] are so mortally silly and insipid, that I cannot bear them. Upon my word ... I have scarce met with one worthy being spoke to. Their chat is all on caps—balls—cards—dress—nonsense.”
—Frances Burney (1752–1840)
