User blog comment:AustinD-3/How to tell if a mascot is a bot, or acctually a person/@comment-24801399-20150619123542

If a mod is acting as a mascot, they have a pull-up window where they can select various phrases currently loaded into the mascot files. Essentially like ultimate safe chat. Although, psst, all mascots are actually controlled by real people. There are no actual mascot accounts anyway, they are all mods wearing bait items that allow them to appear as mascots.
