- Why would this be so difficult? If the person who programs the bot knows squat

- an invite, bot checks login of user against an array of bad logins, if said
- login is not on the list invite them, then when the person joins, check them
- against another array to see if they should be oped. Easy. Bots should never
- function of nicks, use user@host, very reliable against all but those who know
- how to fake logins.
-
- As a side note, I do agree that all moronic Baloo style bots should be shot
- on site. (nothing personal baloo)
