This will herald that the Lords of Law and the Chaos Engineers have
assembled in the Grey Fees of the Second Ether to do battle over The
Spammer Gain, with the possible result of the ending of time and space
and the elimination of all sentience.
Huh?

So you're also responsible for all the involuntary spam

any moderation mechanisms.
