- Do you know how annoying that is?

-
- I said PROGRAMMING TEXHNIQUES, and giving people an op can be a bit more than
- a single /on -join Gard mode $C +o $0
- As an example, I have on Glurg this one:
-
-
- on -leave gard assign isgard 0
- on -signoff gard assign isgard 0
-
- on -join "* #24892" who -nick $0
-
- on #-who 1 "* gard" if "[$3@$4]=[gard@data3d.mrih.no]" "assign isgard 1" "assign isgard 0"
- on #-who 2 "* gard" if "[$3@$4]=[gardabr@unix1.mrih.no]" "assign isgard 1"
- on #-who 3 "* gard" if "[$3@$4]=[gardabr@158.38.66.44]" "assign isgard 1"
- on #-who 4 "* gard" if "[$3@$4]=[gard@158.48.66.43]" "assign isgard 1"
- on #-who 5 "* gard" if "[$isgard]=[1]" "mode $0 +o $1" "kick $0 $1"
-
- assign isgard 0
-
- This is not just an op, but an ensurement that only I will have my Nick - at
- least on channel #24892. This will prevent abuse of Glurg's mode commands.
-
- Also, earlier on, Glurg walked freely around on different channels commenting
- things, responding to whatever the people said, and in most cases, it would
- take quite a while or a /whois Glurg to discover that he was a bot. Now, that
- need a little more programming technique than a /on join Gard mode $C +o $0
-
- : >optimized accordingly, and we could have fewer bots because bot programmers
- :
- : Oh my god, the word bot, and optimized in the same sentence.
-
- Surprised by that? Optimizing could be like... having an assigned variable
- containing all the channels the bot is supposed to visit. and than just move
- a pointer every time he's supposed to visit a new channel, rather than having
- 24892 on timer statements.
-
- :
- : >could agree to have only ONE bot with that and that function, and so on,
- :
- : There is no agreement. That is why we have bot wars.
-
- Of course there is no agreement - now. That is because the bot programmers
- don't have a forum in which they can get the agreement. Whilst on IRC, they
- are more interrested in debugging their bot or talking social stuff with
- others. A newsgroup like alt.irc.bots would work fine for that.
