Banbot: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 01:12, 14 March 2019

Last Thursday, Yiri ported the banbot to RL.

The banbot is a bot authored by aempirei. It joins every public channel on a given IRC network and proceeds to announce the existence of Bantown. It then /invites every user it encounters to #bantown and adds their nick to its queue.

When a nick in the queue joins bantown, it bans them.

The banbot sometimes leads to interesting dialogue with the administrators of the largest IRC networks in the world:

  01:07 <@oclet> 22:05 <Lindy_> my want to stop spamming

root66 was never in Bantown.

In the future, an advanced version of the Banbot will serve as Matt LeBlanc's bodyguard

You heard me! Never in Bantown. It's a lie!

Banbot vs Freenode

  18:37 <@BearPerson> freenode is a network about open-source software and other projects of peers helping peers
  18:37 -%- mode/#bant0wn [-bb *[email protected] *!*@*] by oclet
  18:37 <@oclet> i heard it was for warez
  18:37 <@oclet> and pron
  18:37 <@BearPerson> you're quite welcome to hang out in the support channels and get or provide support
  18:38 <@BearPerson> but we're a bit harsh about warez and spam
  18:38 <@oclet> yeah me too
  18:38 <@oclet> i hate when people dont pay for software
  18:38 <@BearPerson> check out http://irc.netsplit.de/networks/
  18:38 <@oclet> it makes me want to slice my dong with a razor blade
  18:38 <@BearPerson> that's probably the most complete list of IRC networks out there
  18:39 <@BearPerson> I'm sure you'll find a network that is less harsh about this sort of stuff
  18:39 <@oclet> sweet. wanna harass quakenet with me?
  18:39 <@oclet> it will be teh l0lz
  18:40 <@BearPerson> at least, it will be more appropriate ;-)
  18:40 <@BearPerson> you see, quakenet is more IRC and "chaos" oriented than freenode, though not as much as EFnet
  18:41 <@BearPerson> freenode is neutral territory. We're here to provide a place for friendly support, which you can use or provide if you want
  18:42 <@BearPerson> but we can't be that place if we're constantly running after spammers and cleaning up channel wars
  18:42 <@oclet> i'm just here for the pr0n and the warez
  18:42 <@oclet> i dont know anything about spam
  18:42 <@BearPerson> then you're on the wrong network
  18:42 <@oclet> are you a furry?
  18:45 <@BearPerson> just keep this off freenode please, okay?
  18:45 <@oclet> sure
  18:45 <@oclet> tell me when you take the ban off of tor
  18:45 <@oclet> so i can do it again
