KickBot, or as the name appears in-game [DE]KickBot and the alternate name DE_KickBot, is a Digital Extremes asset bot designed to monitor in-game chat and temporarily auto-kicks or suspends players who violate the chat rules. If the reason for being kicked is in a different language, [DE]KickBot will respond in that language.
Known reasons for a kick include:
- Spamming (repeatedly posting the same message or a long string of the same character).
- Heavy profanity.
- Posting trade and recruiting requests in other chat tabs (such as typing "WTB" or "WTS" in the Region or Recruiting chat tab).
- Custom Keywords programmed to Auto Kick/Suspend.
- Excessive use of Capital letters in a sentence (Ex: THIS IS AN EXAMPLE).
Scripted Responses
Well known for various kick-spree moments that players purposely perpetuate as a joke, [DE]KickBot is also capable of automatically responding to certain words or phrases:
You say... | KickBot responds... |
---|---|
"Should I potato" | "Potato all the things." |
"Should I forma" | "Forma all the things." |
"Whip it" | "Whip it good." |
"What is love?" | "Baby don't hurt me." |
"Don't hurt me" | "No more." |
"Never gonna give you up" | "Never gonna let you down." |
"Never gonna run around" | "and desert you." |
"Hey kickbot you down with opp" | "Yeah, you know me." |
"(\" | "(^_^)/)__(\(^_^)" |
"I'm going to bed." | "Sleep is for casuals." |
If a player posts the question "Where do I find orokin ciphers?" in chat, [DE]KickBot will post a series of lines one after the other in a private message, forming a poem which is as follows:
- If it's Mirage you seek, you may obtain by Quest.
- To her powers of illusion, we can attest.
- Within a vault, the requirements lie,
- as part of a dark and corrupted infested sky.
Scripted responses from [DE]KickBot have a cooldown so that they are only triggered every so often.
Note
- Some of the scripted text may or may not still be functional when typed in chat, as [DE]Kickbot has become unavailable in certain Region Servers, and replaced with [DE]Crewman as the primary Chat Bot.
Nicknames
KickBot has a multiple alternative nickname depending on the region it's in, such as [DE]HoofBot or [DE]SassBot. [DE]KickBot is currently unavailable on some servers such as Oceanic.
