Bots and scripts in #eoff - Page 3

Sepho · 06-07-2005, 07:36 PM

I'm not a big fan of the caps and repetition floods, if for no reason other than they don't discourage all caps lines and repetitions. You're going to come across all sorts of personalities in chat, and that includes the super dooper social and even ecstatic types (i.e. Resha). If there are any grumpy lurkers in chat jaded from spending years in IRC chat rooms that find behavior like this too newbish, then I'd say that's something they'd have to deal with themselves. If it's incredibly irritating, then "/ignore is your friend", as I've said on a few occassions. Making the experience a bit more fun for one user at the expense of the enjoyment of another makes little sense to me.

More importantly, as I said earlier, these kicks do nothing. They don't discourage the sort of activity they're punishing. Never do you see someone get kicked for a caps flood and come back moments later with a changed attitude. Instead, "ExampleChatter was kicked (CAPS Flood)" is immediately followed by "ExampleChatter has joined #eoff" which is then followed by "<ExampleChatter>xD". It's almost a game, one which can encourage this activity because it gets a few laughs from some of the other chatters.

As for the other points.

I don't see a problem with this one. Bots can be nifty, but Raggy and Mint suffice for the purpose of the #eoff channel. I've never really witnessed a problem with a bunch of users bringing in their own bots, but this isn't a bad rule anyway.

2) No "Don't do that" rule where if you kick someone, you get kicked. Same for de-opping. If I want to de-op three people in one go, I don't want to get kicked. If I want to op three people, I don't want to get kicked. This should at least apply to all the aops in the room.

Sure.

4) No useless triggered scripts. I am happy to be the judge of what is useless and what is not once people start using them and will advise people of how it is useless by either chatting to them or kicking them repeatedly.

I'm not sure how much I like this one. I'd elaborate, but I can't seem to gather my thoughts into a comprehensible written explanation. Maybe later when I wake up a bit more and my head's a little clearer.

5) Only one second name (Mint and Raggy don't count as clones as they are bots) per user at most. Not from the same PC, please. That's just silly.

Sounds alright to me, I guess. Second names and all that jazz don't really bother me either way, but I don't see much use for them at the same time. I'd chalk it up to freedom of choice, but I see the reasons for the rule against it.

I'd come back for good if they did that!
Or I'd come back for good if they didn't do that. It depends on if they want me back. Use it as a threat or bonus!

(By for good I mean an hour

No.

That's one thing I think is there for good reason. Learn to avoid the 'Enter' or 'Return' key and just use the ". " as replacement.

Also, it looks like the bot that makes me an op when I sign on is broken.
