Bot update

August 10, 2009 | Posted in IRC Bot,News, Tagged

In conjunction with the IRC shakeup, latest bot update brings:

  • Moderator support. Our trusted moderators are non-committee users who have access to ops if they need to sort anything out, and they can also silence (tempban) people for a short time
  • Topic support.  I’ve created a relatively large set of utility stuff which lets us edit the topic easily and safely.  People make their topic changes “offline” (without actually changing it in the channel constantly).  When they’re happy with the topic preview, they can update it in the channel.  It handles stuff like delimiting and colouring automatically so people don’t have to worry about it
  • Auto voicing for committee members
  • When people set reminders, tell them what time the reminder will be sent
  • Refactor to allow commands to know what channel they were called from so some things are a bit neater
  • Improved logging: now logs what the bot says as well. COGSBot wants to be in the statistics too!
