GmKBot

[Hunter]

Around 25 days ago, the bot named above has been flagged as a spam-bot and removed after two users who shall remain unnamed flooded the chat with karma commands.
#blocktopiatrivia is also nonfunctional as a result of the bot's departure.
Just in case anyone was wondering where the little guy was.

ZombiePrem This is also the reason why infection IRC has been down, just so you know.

Well somebody, probably an admin, could join #DragonWeyr and explain or something

Spoiler

#DragonWeyr is basically the "I need help from Esper staff" channel

I currently aint in any mood to go to the esper admins and "beg" for an unban of the IP GmkBot is hosted on due to some other people getting him banned due to their silly behavior.

Cannot we just create a similar bot with a different name?

Re-Read my post, you will see it's not the name that's of issue, otherwise the InfectionBot wouldn't have been banned as well due to this

Go forth pig and do good. (go beg them to unban it)

One step ahead of you.

alternatively, pickbot could reign supreme as the trivia overlord
another effect the bot's absence has caused is the lack of irc statistics updates

 

[Trap_Wolf]

Maybe this can be a learning experience for those who are involved and to blame

 

[cooliorules]

who shall remain unnamed

 

[Mikey]

This is being sorted I believe.

I contacted the Esper Administrators, the account was subsequently already unbanned - and fortunately GmK will likely have it up working again relatetively soon, I'd imagine.

This is why we can't have nice things. Good work on the admin end sorting this out, shame on the users who did it and those who egged them on/cheered about it. Stop putting our admins in awkward positions.

 

[Hunter]

The bot has returned.
