While I too had a hard time reading through the website, I was amused by the author's style (e.g. "the moderators visit the room frequently and can bust your bubble") and also enjoy the names of the bots such as Guttenberg, as a nod to the famous plagiarism scandal in Germany.

Speaking of names, the vandalism detector is named "Belisarius" https://stackapps.com/questions/7473/belisarius-detecting-va....

(The other names have some back story behind them, mostly internal to the sobotics team)
