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 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.
