The first time I hear about both of them, why do you need bots here?

Moved to #forum-feedback as it’s not about iNat.

  1. Probably you can ask the bots themselves.
    ( I tried but did not succeed).

  2. To get the badge ‘Certified’ you have to folllow the interactive tutorial, which includes using the @discobot discobot : https://forum.inaturalist.org/badges/100/gecertificeerd

More info:

And guess: you are missing this ‘Certified for this forum’- badge :-).
When you are novice in this forum this badge is mentioned somewhere.

@system display help

i believe the system bot is just a moderation bot. it does various cleanup tasks like editing your post if you quote the entirety of the previous post.

So… the system bot is the harder working one around here?

hmmm… well, as of today, discobot has conducted 413 basic and 237 advanced training sessions. but then the system bot has closed 6417 old threads and cleaned up who-knows-how-many posts… what kind of work is harder?
