[opensource-dev] Banning by client

[Skills Hak]

Um, please don't confuse this incident with CDS which doesn't ban clients
arbitrarily, this seems to be about a similar system of a more
unscrupulous "competitor". There isn't even a copybot client with
Snowglobe 2.0.0
(3333) (CommunityDeveloper) as base we are aware of, so not sure why
zFire Xue is banning it.

The people with bad reviews are mostly copybotters who have been
banned by the system and are coming up with crazy quicktime hack
theories, Dekadance Mint isn't even in search any more.
