The first issue has been also used to take down some of [Ubuntu IRC bots] several times. At least UbotX (I don't remember the number) and meetingology.
You can add anticapability for these commands using
`owner defaultcapability`, but that is only a temporary solution.
There can also be other issues.
[Ubuntu IRC bots]:https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Bots
There are also two active Supybot forks, known as [Limnoria] and
[Gribble], which are actively developed and have fixed these issues.
If you want permanent solution, you should install either of them.
3. to their IRC channel.
I recommend [Limnoria], because it seems to be more active
(activity of [Gribble] isn't announced anywhere) and it has additional
commands, translations and new plugin called [PluginDownloader], which
makes installing of 3rd party plugins easy.
Some of them are fixed in git repository, but most people aren't using it.
