As shown, when a user runs /set
, Birthday Bot does not accept abbreviated time zones like EST, UST, etc. However, even when users enter an incorrect time zone, Birthday Bot will attempt to find the best fit for the user. For example, entering newyork as your time zone will trigger the bot to detect America/New_York as your time zone, or in this case, entering EST as your time zone will trigger the bot to select the Australia/WEST time zone. (This specific case no longer applies since abbreviated timezones like EST are now automatically refused by the bot, however, the concept still applies).
