Random Timed Rules Bot
« on: March 14, 2011, 08:39:57 am »
JimBauwens just made a little bot in Python that links to the rules, it works like this:

Quote
[06:17:49] * JimBot (~JimBot@) has joined #omnimaga
[06:18:18] <jimbauwen> Hello JimBot :)
[06:18:24] <jimbauwen> JimBot: Hello
[06:18:25] <JimBot> Hello jimbauwen! Please read the rules:http://bit.ly/gLSyEt
[06:21:30] <@OmnomIRC> <Scout> Jim, is that your bot?
Note: I Cut the IP's in this quote.

Now I love this idea, a bot that links to the rules every x hours, I vote for 3 hours.

I think this is a good idea and would like to hear your opinions.

I could make the bot check for new forum users, and notify them of the rules when they chat something for the first time.

If you can make that work for OmnomIRC it's also good.

Ok, but as you said on irc, I will first need permission of an admin to unleash my bot.

Here is how I would program him:

NewGuy: Hello everyone!
JimBot: Hello NewGuy! Welcome to omnomIRC. It would be very wise to check out the rules before you post, as you wouldn't want to get banned. You can find them here : http://omniurl.tk/rules

Any sugestions about this?

That's actually cool! I think it would cut down trolling and more.
I'm not a nerd but I pretend:

Actually now that I'm thinking, I could make that ALL irc users will get the message.
I just need to keep a list with users that I already warned.
Of course that would mean that we also would get a message, but it would be onetime only.

Can you make that you can check if the member clicked on the link to the rules? If so maybe you could ban him if he didn't. >:D

All users? Watch out for spam ;P

That is impossible or at least very hard and Omnimaga's PHP code would have to be changed in order to do that.

Why not just make it output a link to the rules when someone calles !rules or something similar? Every three hours would get annoying.

And make sure you're allowed to have the bot on #omnimaga before you bring it on ;)

If you check the logs, I warned Jim not to try his bot there.

IMHO, I think 3 hours is good.

But then new members won't read it.

My idea: When a user post something, the bot checks the name. If the name isn't yet in a list, it gives the user a warning, and then adds the name to the list.

I have created and tested the bot (not here on omnomIRC) and he works good.
Now I just need permission to launch him.

I think its good as long as it won't do it when someone changes their nick after already being in the channel, that might get annoying, but it shouldn't matter that much.

Sounds good!
