Did you already report these security problems to the developers so they can be fixed?

Yes, I did. Or rather, I've mentioned them on IRC and they had been discussed.

Please report to me in PM. I'm not aware of this, and no one else is maintaining the server these days.

Voted no, just because no. I hope that's okay.

It's fine, but it's not really helpful.

Not sure why anyone wouldn't want the Tree around...she's an amusing bot that gives you something to interact with when the whole town is silent.
If you are going to vote no, at least say why you don't want it around. Don't be negative without a reason.

I'd like to see the offspring of this...Japanese Maple? Spruce? Chestnut?
