Then you could tell us who was the last official mod.

As long as not other got it it's just a localarea, no matter if you config it
as echo. I think i don't need to explain what an "echo" is, do i?

Dunno which guys you are talking about. Change is.

Then don't feed it.

Reality.

A friendly advice from others should be enough.
(Ok, for my case, the friendly may get lost due to translation.)

Yes, i wrote that above, he doesn't take responsibility.

Ignoring both of them to be not excessively annoyed cures the symtoms, but not
the cause. Even if that bot posting if from an official mod, ignoring a mod
isn't a good way to "play nice", cause it would lead into escalation.
