Idleban and beyond: Complaints and retorts

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

[04:26:55] CrAzY(SyS) was kicked out of the channel by [vL] (idle).

He was idle for 13 seconds!

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.

I just raised it to 15 minutes a bit ago, and updated that in the source so that the default will be 15 minutes on new bootups. 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...

Adron · August 08, 2003, 08:00 PM

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

Raven · August 08, 2003, 09:01 PM

And they deleted my retort.

Grok · August 09, 2003, 08:46 AM

They deleted several relative responses by members.

iago · August 09, 2003, 08:54 AM

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.

Raven · August 09, 2003, 10:16 AM

Thx.

Adron · August 09, 2003, 10:46 AM

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

Adron · August 09, 2003, 12:14 PM

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

Grok · August 09, 2003, 02:55 PM

Maybe we need to limit the number of administrators.
