Part of the issue in chat is things actually have to be repeated in order to assist someone who isn't paying attention...

I don't know what you mean, they always follow directions to the letter and pay FULL attention...

No, I don't think I could keep a straight face telling that lie again.

What's the Topic ? ?

Is there any tapioca left ? ?

Understand Patio. Repeat warnings should now be going through the time routine so should only be given if a repeat is done within a minute. So shouldn't happen for valid reasons; can't imagine any valid reason to repeat something within a minute.

You don't have to worry, this is a forum, not a poker game...

Hopebot 7.3a

I've spent the last seven hours straight going through the chat log for the last month and updating Hopebot. I hope that I've squashed most if not all the bugs / complaints that have been reported. Below are some of the major things that have been fixed.

- Chat stats and the current chat status shown at the bottom of the forum and online help page are being updated again.
- Improved the ALL CAPS WARNING detection and warnings. Should not get them as often.
- Decreased the time from 3 minutes to 2 minutes for how long hopebot will wait before not warning users when posting a URL. Should help reduce the warnings on URL postings for
when users are re-posting a URL because a user missed it.
- Added a lot more algorithms for detecting swearwords.
- Various other minor corrections.

New feature:

- If a numerical value follows the Google function with a search it'll show multiple results. For example, running the below command will display four results for Windows xp.

g 4 windows xp

Regarding the swear algorithim...HopeBot kicked me last week for using the name *censored*...

[Computer Hope Admin]

Heh had to un-censor the forums so I could see that word. I looked at the code and see no reason why that should of caused a ban (may have fixed it, not realizing it last night). For names with inappropriate words in it it should give you a warning first asking to change the name and then follow the same procedure of kicking at 3 and banning at 4.

Gotcha...Thanx.

Hopebot 7.6

Spent some more time going reading through the log for the last two months and finding additional bugs with Hopebot. I've corrected the below issues.

- Re-wrote the don't repeat warning to be smart about when and when not to warn about repeating. Should now have corrected issues with warning on repeats that happen several minutes apart.
- With above re-write should also improve issues with URL warnings happening so often.
- Added a lot more swearing and crude talk detection.
- Warnings sent on sending other channels to join.
- Several dozen other minor fixes.

Hey Nathan, how long do warnings last?

[Computer Hope Admin]

Hey Nathan, how long do warnings last?

120 min or 2 hours from when the last warning was sent.

120 min or 2 hours from when the last warning was sent.

So which is it - 120 minutes or 2 hours?  (I suffer from acalculia   )
