Raw Blame History

Please read also rules of my channels.

The bot doesnt 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.

Currently only ops on the channels its on are registered and should be identified by their nickserv account.

List of the channels where the bot is on can be seen with /whois. However this list doesnt 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 doesnt have open registration.

Do you have an account, but you arent 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.

What does the bot do?

Currently the bot is primarily spamming my channel with new items in some RSS feeds. You can find list of the feeds added to the bot at the web documentation for RSS plugin, but listing the feeds automatically announced on the channel isnt possible yet.

Its also protecting channels from spam using the AttackProtector plugin.

The bot also has ops command for getting op attention, but it requires correct prefix to be used, check /msg <bot> config channel <#channel> reply.whenaddressedby.chars. The prefix can be different on different channels.
