Kids under 13 are in school, often are in activities outside of school, and have time-restrictions on internet usage. Additionally, you must be 15/16 in some locales to access discord. Highschoolers/children on this site have about as much free time as a working adult, with the exception of summer/winter breaks (which often see kids having to travel/going to camps/other activities that take up their time anyways). The bot gives adult players, who already have access to advantages (money for c$, ability to form off-site groups to control trading and set prices...).... more advantage. So no, it's not available for EVERYONE on a site supposedly geared towards a playerbase of kids.
just because staff sort-of says it's fine, doesn't make it fair, doesn't mean it's not actively contributing to the pound problem that changing opening size/times won't fix.

The only thing getting rid of the Pound pings would do is make less adults able to attend the Pound, it wouldn’t make it so that more kids could attend. So tell me how that’s better for anyone?
And again, there is nothing you can do to stop people from being pinged for the Pound in Discord, because you don’t need a bot for that. Any person can do it.

The pound is still perfectly accessible. This isn't a disability thing. Adults are responsible enough to play the way they expect the kids to: by checking the site manually.
And honestly, there's a pretty big difference between me telling my friends that the pound will open in 1 hr and 40 minutes and us having to set our own personal timers, and a bot that auto scrapes the time and rarest pets. That's clearly being made/done for one purpose, which other people in this thread have already touched on in better words than I can.

Other users have already pointed out how it would reduce the lag, make those who attend the pound able to get pets without their first page being entirely taken upon loading in, and more. Please read the previous posts in this thread

I mean CS could add a real time timer above "ADOPT" that is constantly showing the count down to LAF and Pound. This would make it easier on everyone because they will constantly be reminded since the timer will always be at the top of the screen.

It would be so awesome if CS had something like this! I’m ngl, even with the pound bot reminder I still miss the openings sometimes because I’m so easily distracted. And I have the reminder set in multiple discords.
And, like I’ve mentioned before, a lot of users being online for the pound isn’t the problem. That’s a good thing! The site just needs to make updates to be able to handle the influx.
