A few inquiries so far about programmatic access, and along with sharing some general experiences on the conduit API I think we should have some official lingo on getting a bot account.
A bot account has no password, cannot be "logged into" like a normal user, does have a token for api requests, and won't be tied to a specific real user account (in case of spam, lost account, etc) Any bot type thing used by the community should probably go this route.
These accounts can be added by admins.
