But the idea wasn't bad. @Undo said something similar once or twice, in terms of custom filter plugins for Smokey interface. This isn't exactly that, since the filter is in the same codebase, but similar in its function: the reports go only to one room that wants them.
And the marginal cost of adding a custom rule reporting to a particular room is a lot lower than splitting the bot into multiple instances.
Speaking of Russian. ru.SO election ended 5.5 hours ago, still no official announcement. I guess timing the election by U.S. daytime wasn't a good idea.
That's the only plausible explanation, but it's really odd behavior then. A lot of people had to visit that page and nothing else, to balance all those who visited the site but not the election.
Unofficial results: Winners are Nofate, Nick Volynkin, and PashaPash.

I voted for 2 of 3. Nofate did great as a pro-tem (unlike the other pro-tem, who got de-modded and suspended during election). Nick usually has the right sort of ideas on meta.
I don't consider this spam. Someone writes a plugin to perform a common task. There are multiple questions on SO about doing that task. So them go on an answer. Misguided, but not malicious.
Some of the duplicate answers may need to be removed or edited.

@TimStone Hi Tim! It was me who posted that report — thanks for the fix. Now the election is over, but ru.so is still on the elections page. elections.stackexchange.com
