Starting with this commit, there should be no "original" text in READMEs. Instead, the entire text should be in docstrings, and READMEs should be automatically generated from these docstrings. Motivation: * The same help is available both via IRC and in the README (although the README can be more detailed, as only the first paragraph will be shown on IRC) * This will allow auto-generating plugin help on docs.limnoria.net using the same content as the README, as it's sourced from the docstrings Additionally, this converts all READMEs from Markdown to ReST, because the documentation already uses ReST, and other docstrings in the codebase are in ReST for this reason. |

Documentation for the Anonymous plugin for Supybot
Purpose
Allows folks to talk through the bot anonymously.
Usage
This plugin allows users to act through the bot anonymously. The 'do' command has the bot perform an anonymous action in a given channel, and the 'say' command allows other people to speak through the bot. Since this can be fairly well abused, you might want to set supybot.plugins.Anonymous.requireCapability so only users with that capability can use this plugin. For extra security, you can require that the user be in the channel they are trying to address anonymously with supybot.plugins.Anonymous.requirePresenceInChannel, or you can require that the user be registered by setting supybot.plugins.Anonymous.requireRegistration.
Example: Proving that you are the owner
When you ask for cloak/vhost for your bot, the network operators will often ask you to prove that you own the bot. You can do this for example with the following method:
@load Anonymous
@config plugins.anonymous.requirecapability owner
@config plugins.anonymous.allowprivatetarget True
@anonymous say <operator nick> Hi, my owner is <your nick> :)
This * Loads the plugin. * Makes the plugin require that you are the owner
- If anyone could send private messages as the bot, they could also access network services.
- Allows sending private messages
- Sends message
Hi, my owner is <your nick> :)
tooperator nick
.- Note that you won't see the messages that are sent to the bot.
Commands
- do <channel> <action>
-
Performs <action> in <channel>.
- react <channel> <reaction> <nick>
-
Sends the <reaction> to <nick>'s last message. <reaction> is typically a smiley or an emoji. This may not be supported on the current network, as this command depends on IRCv3 features. This is also not supported if supybot.protocols.irc.experimentalExtensions disabled (don't enable it unless you know what you are doing).
- say <channel> <text>
-
Sends <text> to <channel>.
- tell <nick> <text>
-
Sends <text> to <nick>. Can only be used if supybot.plugins.Anonymous.allowPrivateTarget is True.
Configuration
- supybot.plugins.Anonymous.allowPrivateTarget
-
This config variable defaults to "False", is not network-specific, and is not channel-specific.
Determines whether the bot will allow the "tell" command to be used. If true, the bot will allow the "tell" command to send private messages to other users.
