Removal Spam Protection
When quotes are removed using either the ~rm or ~rmlast commands, the quotes are removed from the main database, but are stored in a removal cache which is cleared out ten minutes from the last time a quote was removed from the database. If the number of quotes removed from the database reaches a certain limit (as per rmLimit in config, default 10) then the counter is removed and the cache will not be deleted automatically. In such a case, a DBot admin needs to either run the ~rmconfim command to have the removal cache cleared, or ~rmdeny to re-instate all of the quotes in the removal cache back into the main quote database. This is to stop mass removal from the database without limiting the user interface.
