When a DDoS occurs, the bot is spamming tweets (maybe due to auto-restart scripts of the Albion servers)

Wouldn't a good approach to this be if there is a sporadic behaviour actually flag it was "currently showing instabilities" where you would explain that the servers is tackling Ddos and/or doing preventative measures. Where the online/offline interval being as eager as displayed above flag it as "experiencing connection issues"?
