Slack out Rocket.chat in
After researching and testing alternatives, the BAT team has announced transition from BAT Slack to rocket.chat for open communication and collaboration with its community members. The transition will start Wednesday, July 12, 2017 at 11AM PDT. However, the BAT Slack will remain open as read-only for 7 days during the transition to rocket.chat.
The reason for move as mentioned in the announcement is the participation of bad actors, trying to take advantage of the openness of Slack channel and attempting to scam participants.
-
The BAT Slack monitors witnessed an increase in incidents and reports from our community concerning false information and fraudulent messages.
-
Direct messages were used in some cases by users pretending to be BAT staff.
-
The /remind Slackbot command was used on occasion to send false information.
-
The Incoming Webhooks integration was used once to pose as the BAT APP and send messages about a fake “second sale.”
BAT's community managers will help facilitate the transition. They are also continuing to expand the team of community managers, with the goal of having full coverage across time zones on a 24/7 basis.
