Bots and scripts in #eoff

[Loony BoB]

What are we going to do about them? Because seriously, I hate 90% of the things that they do. I don't mind Raggy. But I don't like the caps and punctuation floods. I don't like welcome back scripts but they're seemingly harmless so whatever. I don't see the point in having one person having five names in a chatroom, let alone two or three. Okay, two is acceptable if they're logging in from school while the other PC is on at hom 24/7, or something.

These are my (currently) proposed changes...
1) No bots aside from Raggy and Mint. Mint can be used for his translator crap etc.
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.
3) No caps flood kick, no punctuation flood kick. If someone is going to be an arse then we can kick them ourselves or we can ban them if they do it too often.
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.
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.

Am I missing anything?

EDIT: Upon further consideration of point #3, I think it would be reasonable to keep a caps flood on, if possible, for multiple lines that are in caps but not just one line. I say that because I know certain people *cough* tend to have a rather high amount of lines that are all caps.

Resha had a sticky shift button - she wrote 1831 lines in CAPS.

;(

EDIT: If someone can make sure all of the following see this thread, that would be great: clout, Roogle, Proto, 'xoden, Kat, Snizz. Any other chatters are also free to join in but it would be nice if the aops at least were specifically notified. *isn't at home so can't chat*

EDIT: I'm bored I'm bored I'm bored more people need to reply to this thread come on already

In my few minutes' experience with #eoff, I found it to be angry, convoluted, and violent.

[Loony BoB]

Weren't you in last night? I didn't see anything bad going on at that time. Oh well. Then again, I was all but asleep at that point.

[Meat Puppet]

you could unban me and I would kick their ass

EDIT: oh and if you haven't got rid of the period and who-is kick you should do that

[Chubbzilla]

1) Agree.
2) The "Don't do that" is Mint's, so you need to tell clout to get rid of it.
The multiple de-op thing is built in to Raggy, I can attempt to switch it off if you want me to. If it's not the Raggy one you're complaining about, I'm guessing its another of dn's ty things.
3) You need to speak to dn and ask him to remove them then. In my opinion you need to ask him to not op himself in the channel anyway. I don't op myself in channels I shouldn't, and neither should he.
4) Dunno about this one, I find some of them amusing, but then if you want rid of them then it's up to you and the other ops.
5) Clones are smurfing annoying, especially when they pretend to be 2 different people and have retarded conversations. I know I have 2 clients connected, but I have it that way for a valid reason. People who have more than 1 for s and giggles are annoying.

End of the day BoB, it's essentially your chat, so you need to tell people to turn stuff off it you don't want it there.

You're assuming people will actually listen to me instead of just making fun of me or just typing something like "maybe ". And it's not really my chat - it's co-run by clout, Roogle and I. But hopefully I can bug them enough with more people saying "yeah".

[Chubbzilla]

If you decide to make changes, and people just make fun of you, then you need to kick them out.
In all seriousness, you're way too soft about stuff like this. Put your foot down for once.
If you need help in laying down the law, then I'll be around for backup. T'is my job after all.

[theundeadhero]

I fully agree with this radical new rebel movement. :P

[Nod]

Im not too fussed about any of the bots, they're pretty harmless really, except when you get booted for a caps flood, get back in the room, and then get booted again for a repetition flood.

I agree with MP too.

Edit: I appear to be contradicting myself. So, in truth I guess I support this movement.

[Loony BoB]

Okay

I'm totally putting my foot down when I'm back home tonight! Both feet, even!

YOU HEAR ME CLOUT!? BOTH DAMNED FEET. PREPARE!

EDIT: Chubbz you could always make me an IRCop Then I will have even more feet to put down.

Good on you xD
Now why aren't you answering your AIM nub ;[?

Daniel...isn't that exactly what you told me to do at tGA?

[RSL]

BoB I agree with everything you said. The caps flood, punctuation flood, and repetition flood kicks definitely need to go.

Someone got kicked one day for saying "there there." Ridiculous.

Maybe it's just me but I don't see the problem with lines in all caps. No one in there seems to do it to a point that I think is excessive, not even Resha (though I'm not usually in there during her peak time).

[Shoden]

though i got banned when i was about to leave that flood kick punctuation flood kick and all the other auto kicking crap was annoying i got headaches from seeing people getting kicked blah. and as for advise to Aops use the kban option more if someone is saying psycho stuff no one likes kick warn if again another kick and if again a kban like other servers you can remove the bans when you like and errrr unban me from the server and ban me from the room for as long as you want but im sure the ffchat ban is for a long time.



other things are ops dont idle much people think you're dead and umm Op's NO SUGAR! if you've seen what it can do to people youll be kbanning machines actually i encountered an incident like that i got banned from a sugar hi op who removed me a week later XD. oh everything else is fine but the sheer randomness of the room itself is enough to call it a "mental Asylum" really everyones strange in there own unique way but im not gonna get into details.



Mint is a bot!? well ill be

[Agent Proto]

1) No bots aside from Raggy and Mint. Mint can be used for his translator crap etc. ~Agreed
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. ~Agreed

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.~Not to sure about this, but the chatters do get amused with them, so I don't see any real harm with these useless scripts.
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.~Agreed
