As far as I understand, such a tool complete with sounds is perfectly fine as long as players are the ones entering intel into chat. If someone is scraping local (or something else) and automatically populating the intel channels, they are violating rules, but most likely such a large and open group as the Imperium is playing by the rules. The streamer you saw most likely was using one of the legal intel tools and any warnings were the direct result of a player input.
The “player” who told you the system is using botting Alphas is likely just rumourmongering. It’s possible of course, but I can’t imagine your friend has any real evidence that it is anything more than a normal player-run intel channel. If they do, they should forward the evidence to security@ccpgames.com immediately.
