Maybe an easier solution would be to allow people to ignore Discobot. I personally don’t care so far because it hasn’t been annoying yet, and conversely I can’t think of anything I’d want Discobot to do. ---

The question is, can discobot think of anything _he’d_ want to do to _you_? What say you, bot? ---

I believe it’s because its trust level is “leader.” So, similar to the reason you can’t ignore a mod. That and he’d destroy us all if you did. ---

Instead of muting discobot, is there a way for discobot to systematically and ruthlessly mute any and all comments complaining about Discobot? I find these far more annoying than Discobot itself.
