The owner of the bot actually told me to try and figure out some way to stop the cheating in the irpg, as well as in the now defunct (for the exact same reason) #gridcoin-games room... hence the creation of GRCB0T.
Its original intent was a tipbot that would be locked to email or some such. I have screenshots of his permission from March of this year.
He would honestly also prefer if we could get a different tipbot running on our stuff, so he could free his resources for other things. :)
