COGSBot Updates

March 16, 2010 | Posted in IRC Bot,News, Tagged
  • We’ve decided to try out giving moderators more visibility in the channel. This led me to improve the usergroup system, so that we can add/remove people from groups (e.g. the moderators group) easily.
  • Support for list maintainers has been added.  This allows committee to grant power to maintain a list to another user who would not otherwise have permission to edit any lists.  E.g. someone who isn’t on the committee may be ‘in charge’ of an event, and need to update description etc.
  • !whois will tell you if a user is committee or moderator
  • [bug] fixed problem where spam protection wouldn’t trigger until an extra message was sent, leading to some confusing situations..
  • [bug] fixed problem where it would sometimes describe time as “1 hours” instead of “1 hour”
  • [bug] fixed crash which could occur under rare circumstances (though it never did live) if someone was double-tempbanned
  • [memo] check SQLite versions on new hosts before migrating

Meet the Sysadmin

March 8, 2010 | Posted in News, Tagged

As those of you at last weekend’s LAN already know, I released the next of my Meet the Committee series at the LAN.  This time we Meet the Sysadmins. You can click on the video below a couple of times to go to the full page on youtube. Comments, ratings, and passing it onto like minded (TF2-crazed) friends would be most appreciated. Enjoy!
