gollark: In some cases, a large series of them with multiple people queueing counter-reminders slightly ahead of the previous one.
gollark: Also, the reminder thing doesn't provide a link to the original message or any context or anything, so sometimes there'll just be a random reminder which makes *no sense*.
gollark: What feature?
gollark: It used to, very briefly, delete builtins from the bot's python environment, which caused horrible problems and was soon removed.
gollark: The most used feature of my bot is the `++delete` command, which "deletes things", which actually means it just adds them to a searchable list of "deleted items".
