It's a question of respect. BlockBot dedicates a significant portion of her life to keeping our irc channel clean and slapping her is certainly not the way to show your appreciation. You get 3 warnings for slapping her before she'll ban you so anyone who does get banned was being ignorant and juvenile.
I used to think BlockBot was just a bot. I feel extremely bad now for insulting her. =C
DON'T HIT GIRLS.
