This is why I haven't enabled bots, because I think there has to be something other than just the commands that come into play when bots are enabled.
Well, for a long time bots were unstable and there were a lot of exploits that came with them. I've been using them since I started my server 2 years ago and they were a mixed blessing at times. They had a lot of quirks. Congdar has done amazing work with them and they are very stable and between him and Angelox they have eliminated many of the exploits. For people that don't want them having them compiled out of the source leaves a smaller executable and smaller means faster and less resources used. And I was only suggesting it as an option that was available right now, as I assume, just like any other command that it can have a status placed against it.
