Hopebot

[Computer Hope Admin]

Updated:

I've updated hopebot to allow uses to !report xxxx (where xxxx is a user to report). If a user gets two different reports from two different users they will be banned from the channel. Please don't abuse this feature or you'll be banned.

I've also updated it so if hopebot kicks a user from the channel (after three warnings), the next warning will not be a kick but a perma ban (on fourth offense).

Hope these features help with the overall control of the forum if you encounter issues with either of these let me know. I'm still working on some other updates just thought I'd make mention of these while other features are being developed.

!report Hopebot

I assume you will look over the !reports, no matter how many the user gets?

Also, will these reports be removed after an XX amount of time?

<SpellCheck>   and abusing the !report feature is not permitted, thus he is banned
   <SpellCheck>   Hello Serpent
   <Ashutosh>   !report ?
   <HopeBot>   Ashutosh, You can't report yourself. Abuse this feature and you'll be banned.

LOL

Anyways one more question, can you !report hostmaks? Will they work?

[Carbon Dudeoxide]

<Carbon>   !report Squall_01
*HopeBot*   Carbon: I don't see this user in the channel. Do not abuse this command or you'll be banned.

Darn it.....

He logged off, then I reported him. It doesn't seem as effective if this happens if the user is not online. Not sure how it would work, but  I believe the !report <hostmask> will work though.
Any chance that could be added?

If anyone wants to know what I did that to Squall, PM me.
It was a misunderstanding. It has been settled.

I think there is a little problem in HopeBot.

Code:

* Abstract (ap_32@3363B7F4.95AA77C6.7FF0425B.IP) has joined #computerhope
* Abstract is now known as Abstraction
[b] <Abstraction> Hello [/b]
* Abstraction (ap_32@3363B7F4.95AA77C6.7FF0425B.IP) has left #computerhope
* Abstraction (ap_32@3363B7F4.95AA77C6.7FF0425B.IP) has joined #computerhope
[b] <Abstraction> Hello
<&HopeBot> *WARNING # 1/3* Abstraction please don't repeat things. [/b]
<+jacky> what's that?
* Abstraction (ap_32@3363B7F4.95AA77C6.7FF0425B.IP) Quit (Quit: )

The repeating is carried on even after a part and join.

That is normal.

If it is disabled, spammers can easily do that without getting knocked off.

Hopebot is programmed to prevent such abuse to the channel. By doing what you did, you are abusing and misusing the channel, so Hopebot acted.

Right?

I joined back half an hour after leaving and it warned me yesterday.

Careful on reporting and use it the way it was meant...
I was almost Permabanned the other night testing it with Nathan on board.

Yep.

Also, will these reports be removed after an XX amount of time?

If hopebot gets reset reports will get removed. Other than that it'll remain indefinitely.

!report ?
<HopeBot>   Ashutosh, You can't report yourself. Abuse this feature and you'll be banned.

Bug with new feature, has been fixed.

He logged off, then I reported him.

There should be no reason to report users that are offline, so hopebot should have no need to do this.

The repeating is carried on even after a part and join.

Thanks, this has been fixed. Also made it so greetings such as "hello" will not apply to repeats because if someone says hello and then another user logs in and you say hello again would give warning.


I also went through the logs for the last few days and cleared up other minor issues.

Sometimes, users will log in for only a moment, do something abusive (eg: swear) and they may not return from anywhere from a few minutes to a day or so.

Precisely.

It's true this can happen, however, I don't think it happens enough to where hopebot and/or a !report (when online) is not going to catch it.

This was a bit frightening...
No new user would really know how to change their nickname... can Hopebot just cut off nicknames and replace them in the nickname list with something like SneezleThe~ ?

Yesterday, I clicked on the Chat button which automatically logged me in as carbondudeoxide.
Randomly, Hopebot gave me a 4/3 and banned me.

I used my friend's wireless to allow me to get back on the chat. A few hours later, a troll came aboard and I typed !report guest_28 twice. Hopebot gave me a random 4/3 and banned me again.

His counters don't seem to be resetting/seem to be jumping up at extraordinary lengths.
