I just went to check it out, I like the three last lines :

You were granted voice by moderator.

[8:25pm] pyl: i really prefer the bsd license, but run linux out of practicality.

[8:25pm] Shaze: you jackasss, there's no one in meta

[8:26pm] Cach-e: pyl: Oh. Don't know if I'd manage to play that game mentally then What if your favorite character die?

[8:26pm] roel-: woohoo I can talk again

[8:26pm] moderator: roel-, you have been muted for 34 minutes 8 seconds.

[8:26pm] roel- had voice removed by moderator.

Why not put the same logic into a plugin for your chat client and have it warn you if you are about to send a duplicate phrase. Obviously it wouldn't catch everything ever said if you weren't always online, but if you were on a lot it would at least catch some cases, allowing you to avoid punishment.

Of course, this probably spirals out of control quickly. I'm surprised no one has joined with a war script tailored specifically to this type of moderator. Just give a bot a large corpus of blog entries, have it join late at night when no one is awake, then say every sentence it has in the channel... the table of things-that-have-been-said would fill up with all these bogus phrases. Might need a while to be effective, but it would be a fun experiment in moderator bombing.
