Yeah, I know about this, but I'm not sure what to do about it. Stimbot looks for the first thing enclosed in [brackets] and something about the way pinned posts work on Slack's backed makes Stimbot read the date of a pin with brackets.

I suppose I can add a check that parses the thing in brackets for a date, and if it's successful, don't search? I'll take a look. The problem is that date parsing can be really inconsistent. Fortunately I can hopefully rely on the date from Slack to be formatted a certain way, so hopefully it won't be a big deal as long as I can codify the expected format.

Thanks for the report!

Just for the record: on the Jinteki slack we dealt with this issue by changing syntax from [query] to !card query. Link

Fixed by changing the card query syntax to double brackets.
