I was not suggesting any changes in the API. What you write above would 
require a lot of changes (and a lot of manpower). I just wanted to 
implement a code of conduct which bot users would be *expected* to 
follow - I didn't want to implement technical measures that *forces* 
people to do so.

Bye
Frederik
