Recursion causes trouble

[tianon]

So, uhh, we (#docker-maintainers) did a bad thing: https://botbot.me/freenode/docker-maintainers/msg/34051580/ :angel:

I wasn't sure exactly which repo to report on, but this one seemed the most appropriate for this specific issue of BotBot recursing on its own comments.

See https://github.com/docker/docker/issues/11360 for the issue we used to cause such trouble -- we eventually had to kick the bot, so help getting it to rejoin would be appreciated, and I've changed the title of that naughty issue back (as you can see in the logs on it) to make sure we don't do it again.

Relevant log bits:

Sorry, I just had the urge to try something stupid after a long day, and didn't want to cause any trouble :-(

[paultag]

bug of the year :dancer:

[mtrythall]

Man, that's neat.

It's late where I am now but I'll help you get your bot back tomorrow and figure out how to get this fixed soon. Ideally BotBot just ignores himself. Have to tackle this ASAP.

[tianon]

@mtrythall cool, thanks; getting our bot back tomorrow is just fine :+1:

Glad you're not mad! :innocent:
