Of course this suggests that he considers bots as “people.” Which would explain his reluctance to support my (now dormant) campaign to have discobot booted. ---

> [@Skywatcher](#): > > Simply putting them on Ignore works for me. I’m not sure of the exact number but anyone I put on my list, and it’s been very few, typically get banned eventually. My Ignore-to-ban ratio is pretty good. The bannings, especially recently, have culled out my own Ignore list. There are still complete lowlife slime like **UrbanRedneck** , **octupus** or **mhendo** who remain on my Ignore list. But then there are just asswipes like **AK84** who are completely clueless but whom I cannot be arsed to Ignore. Them, I informally ignore by just spacing out their ignorant pap. ---
