Remove MEE6 from the server.

[warm fern]

I'm aware that it is quite difficult to rework the server to work under a different bot, and I am not asking for immediate action, but MEE6 should not be in any servers, ESPECIALLY not giant servers like this one.

This video pretty much outlines it overall: https://youtu.be/HepIpx63yKo

But if you do not want to watch it, here's a general gist of why it should not be here:

• They support NFTs, having launched their own line of them (which you KNOW, because you nicknamed the bot to make a joke out of it)
• They recently began DMing members of servers who have the bot installed and configured, to get them to upvote the bot (so literally just an unsolicited ad); I received this DM, and many others have as well. Imagine how many people in this server specifically must have received this DM just because MEE6 was never removed

They repeatedly make decisions that very obviously do NOT benefit the Discord community in any meaningful way, and I fully believe that continuing to use it in this giant public server, ironically or otherwise, is supportive of their business model.

Please work towards removing MEE6 from the server and using (preferably making) some sort of alternative.

I'm not talking partially removing modules. I'm not even suggesting just having it here in the background. Please remove it. Completely.

@warm fern Hi, trust me, we're more than aware of this

Ever since mee6 started doing their DM advertisements we've been working on a replacement

We've found an alternative, but due to the sheer size of the server (150k! users now) we're severely stuck behind mee6's rate limiting. We'd love to keep the role system in place, so we're working with this new bot's developers to find a way to transport mee6 data over safely, and get rid of this disgusting bot

@outer hedge even by it's name you can see my thoughts, unfortunately, I had it pegged down as an unfortunate side effect of the server being old, and just resigned to having it, but with the DM advertising, my limit was reached

@stark bison our technician can weigh in, but I promise you, we're moving it soon

That's good to see, thanks for the explanation!

I absolutely hate MEE6 and actively remove it from any servers I can. 🙂

No worries, we're unfortunately stuck due to the size of the server for now

I was wondering where those DMs came from tbh haha

[stark bison]

I've had the bot blocked since the NFT support was publicized. My alt also received a DM from MEE6 recently and immediately got @unique ore to fast track the replacement of MEE6 for another bot that serves the same purpose in this server. I'm working with the developers of said bot to move the data so we don't have a loss in service.
