    gollark: MemeBot, you mean?
    gollark: I don't like arbitrary rules which seem as if they are clamping down on things for no reason, especially ones which will apparently be enforced through magic, and claiming something is for the benefit of all users doesn't make it the case.
    gollark: What is the actual *problem* behind "trying to stop firms just pinging when one of the members post"?
    gollark: It definitely won't help people who aren't here, for one thing.
    gollark: I mean, I *guessed* what I thought people might see as it, I don't actually know.
