100 Bot Raid

On 3 March 2021, 100 Bots raided the server.
The first bot @Brief Eye joined the server in at 9:57 AM EST as the 4204th member. However, the rest of the bots began joining en masse beginning at 10:22 AM EST with @Wobbly as the 4205th member. Over the next minute, that number climbed to 4303.
These bots sent DMs of suspicious links promising free Bitcoin to members. However these scam bots were probably IP loggers.
 was pinged by Ionely and Confi was the first to show up. He banned three before realizing that one by one would take a while. Ran, Waffle, aurora, and HHR soon joined him in banning the bots one by one. At 10:33 AM EST, Dyno, the bot that the Staff Team used for moderating (in this case banning) stopped working. The Staff Team briefly switched to manually banning via Discord. 
Violet issued an announcement about the server raid, and not to click on the links that the bots send members.
At 10:35 AM EST, Violet suggested using Carl-bot to ban the raider bots. At 10:38 AM EST, HHR figured out how to massban using Carl-bot.
At 10:44 AM EST, Ran announced that it seems that the Staff Team had cleaned up most if not all of the raider bots.
