Notice how newly joined bots get renamed to "$name *" if a bot with "$name" is already present on the server.

It's not a bug, it's a feature to prevent from name collision (something that was really boring in 1.0).
If someone connect with a name that already exists, he have a * at the end, if a third connect, he get ** at the end of the name, etc...

What if someone connects with a completely unrelated name, and still gets renamed, like Smile and multiple other people have experienced and reported? Is it still not a bug, but a feature?
