The bot doesn't allow people to register by themselves and it might be
|

configured to A) only reply to identified users B) not reply on certain
|

channel to anyone C) reply only to owner at certain channel. This may

change without notice.

## Limnoria
|
||||
|
||||
Currently only ops on the channels it's on are registered and should be
|
||||
identified by their nickserv account.
|
||||
My bot is [Limnoria] which is currently the most popular [Supybot] fork
|
||||
that is still under active development and it has merged in features of
|
||||
another popular fork, [Gribble].
|
||||
|
||||
My role with [Limnoria] was Finnish translator and IRC support and I also
|
||||
made minor changes to make some default configuration variables more sane.
|
||||
Most of documentation since [Supybot] and before my leaving are also
|
||||
written by me.

## Usage
|
||||
|
||||
### Quick start
|
||||
|
||||
Use `list` command to get list of plugins, `list <plugin>` to get list of
|
||||
commands in plugin, `help <plugin> <command>` to get usage instructions
|
||||
for \<command\> in \<plugin\>.`
|
||||
|
||||
If the bot tells you `(X more messages)`, use the `more` command to see
|
||||
more output.
|
||||
|
||||
There are also default plugins which means that when you use only
|
||||
`<command>` the command is automatically understood as `<plugin> <command>`
|
||||
for example `tell` is configured to be `later tell` which tells text
|
||||
to nick next time it's seen. If `command` exists only in one plugin,
|
||||
it's gets turned to `<plugin> <command>` automatically.
|
||||
|
||||
In case command exists in multiple plugins, the bot will tell you that
|
||||
the command exists in multiple plugins and asks you to specify the plugin
|
||||
before it.
|
||||
|
||||
## Users
|
||||
|
||||
The bot doesn't allow anyone to register and I will register channel ops
|
||||
manually on the channels the bot is on. Users are primarily identified by
|
||||
NickServ account, but on networks where there are no services it's required
|
||||
to use hostmasks.
|
||||
|
||||
Requirements for getting account:
|
||||
|
||||
* being op on channel where the bot is on or similar good reason
|
||||
* having NickServ account
|
||||
* or on networks where there are no services hostmask that you can be
|
||||
identified with
|
||||
* static host
|
||||
* identd
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Identifying
|
||||
|
||||
The bot requires users to have password, but I always set the password
|
||||
as something from pwgen as I primarily identify users based on NickServ
|
||||
account or hostmask.
|
||||
|
||||
* If you have a password, `/msg <bot> user identify username password`
|
||||
* Passwords can be asked for me if needed, after getting one, change
|
||||
it immediately with `/msg <bot> user set password OLDPASSWORD NEWPASSWORD`
|
||||
* If you use NickServ account:
|
||||
* Use the `auth` command.
|
||||
* `/cycle` so extended-join sends your account name to the bot.
|
||||
* `/kick <bot>` so the bot will automatically rejoin and send whox
|
||||
requests to the channel receiving your NickServ account.
|
||||
* [Other methods / Official documentation](https://limnoria-doc.readthedocs.org/en/latest/use/getting_started.html#making-supybot-recognize-you)
|
||||
|
||||
## Channels
|
||||
|
||||
List of the channels where the bot is on can be seen with /whois. However
|
||||
this list doesn't include secret/private channels (mode +sp).
|
||||
|
||||
The bot can also be requested to join other channels, but I reserve the
|
||||
right to not join it anywhere or to not register specific channel ops
|
||||
to the bot. It doesn't have open registration.
|
||||
|
||||
Do you have an account, but you aren't identified? As you are ignored
|
||||
unless you are identified, you can trigger message on the IRCd including
|
||||
your NickServ account by using one of the following methods:
|
||||
|
||||
* `/cycle` so extended-join sends your account name to the bot.
|
||||
* `/kick` so the bot will automatically rejoin and send whox requests to
|
||||
the channel receiving your NickServ account.
|
||||
to the bot.
|
||||

||||

Currently the bot is primarily spamming my channels with new items in some

RSS feeds. You can find list of the feeds added to the bot at
