This commit reverts db7ef3f02517f9f2a3c56829a22b9fad3c36e374 (though it keeps the year updates) After discussion with several people, it seems better to mention copyright owners explicitly. eg. https://reuse.software/faq/#vcs-copyright explains the issue of using VCSs to track copyright. As db7ef3f02517f9f2a3c56829a22b9fad3c36e374 only replaced mentions of my name with 'The Limnoria Contributors', this commit only needs to undo that + add one person who contributed to setup.py.
Documentation for the Limiter plugin for Supybot
Purpose
This plugin sets channel limits (MODE +l) based on
plugins.Limiter.MaximumExcess plus the current number of
users in the channel. This is useful to prevent flood attacks.
Usage
In order to use this plugin, its config values need to be properly setup. supybot.plugins.Limiter.enable needs to be set to True and supybot.plugins.Limiter.{maximumExcess,minimumExcess} should be set to values appropriate to your channel (if the defaults aren't satisfactory). Once these are set, and someone enters/leaves the channel, Supybot will start setting the proper +l modes.
Configuration
- supybot.plugins.Limiter.enable
-
This config variable defaults to "False", is network-specific, and is channel-specific.
Determines whether the bot will maintain the channel limit to be slightly above the current number of people in the channel, in order to make clone/drone attacks harder.
- supybot.plugins.Limiter.maximumExcess
-
This config variable defaults to "10", is network-specific, and is channel-specific.
Determines the maximum number of free spots that will be saved when limits are being enforced. This should always be larger than supybot.plugins.Limiter.limit.minimumExcess.
- supybot.plugins.Limiter.minimumExcess
-
This config variable defaults to "5", is network-specific, and is channel-specific.
Determines the minimum number of free spots that will be saved when limits are being enforced. This should always be smaller than supybot.plugins.Limiter.limit.maximumExcess.
- supybot.plugins.Limiter.public
-
This config variable defaults to "True", is not network-specific, and is not channel-specific.
Determines whether this plugin is publicly visible.
