A bot in a multiplayer game with moderator rights who's always listening. Upon someone joining, the Querybot will check to make sure the user isn't "softbanned" from the room, and if they happen to be on the naughtly list of "softbanned" users, the Querybot will instantly kick them from the room.
Well... that's what they are supposed to be on the surface. In practice, Querybots rarely kick the naughty person on time, often hanging for up to a minute before actually getting the job done. In the window of time where the Querybot is just slacking, the naughty person can spam the chat and even use gamebreaking exploits, ruining the fun.
