What's much more important about the latest clip is that the bot banned him as idle after 2 minutes. EWWW!

Apparently someone set the bot to check for idle users every 2 received events and target those who have been idle the longest which has been more than 1 second. =P

By default, the bot checks every 35 events and targets those who have been idle for 5 minutes or more.

And even 5 minutes is a much too low time if you send some visiting newbie off to check our website before they ask more.

Since there's some new commands, I'd like to wait on installing an upgrade until someone with TS access is around to restart in case the bot chokes on the new install (it shouldn't, *but* I don't want to be the one that makes our channel without moderator).

Additionally, modified idleban to be once every 4 events instead of every 2 (and then only when it is enabled at all).

Is there an online reference for the commands available? I tend to have forgotten them when I want to use them...

Neat, someone took the time to split this off! Who?

And they deleted my retort. :(

They deleted several relative responses by members.

I deleted Raven's complaint about people posting about this in other topics because this split off of the topic he's referring to, and I didn't want him to look like a moron.

Thx. :)

But who actually split this thread off from the big one it was off topic in?

It had to be one of:

Kp, mejal, Yoni, Arta[vL], iago, Invert, Skywing, Grok, Adron, DarkMinion, or Thing

Yes. But noone is admitting to it and I don't want to give everyone karma when just one person deserves it :)

Maybe we need to limit the number of administrators.
August 9, 2003, 7:55 PM

No, four or whatever we have is just fine. And this forum is supposed to have a lot of moderators since it's here for all members.

I split the topic but didn't delete any replies. I like organization better than censorship ;)

Why'd you have to put "retorts" in the title? The word retorts makes me think of torts. Mmm....torts....I'm hungry. :(

You'll get over it.
