We have always had a no bots policy for #ansible and I have removed this bot.
Not only are bots annoying when they auto respond to words and become entertainment, but a logged channel is something that prevents many users at certain more restrictive organizations from talking freely about their infrastructure. Additionally, this is confusing WRT the "ansibot" which responds to github, something that we actually do maintain. #ansible should be about discussing ansible, by humans.
