Yes, but couldn't people just open a client and set +b for someone even though they're not a bot?
We could do what we do with "X" maybe...you could sign up for it, then you'd have a one-week waiting period while we check the stats of your username. Finally, [EMAIL PROTECTED] would "Bot" you every time you log on. - Tom -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Carlo Wood Sent: Sunday, August 18, 2002 7:58 AM To: Daniël Boeije Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Coder-Com] Modes for (by example) botservice(s) On Sun, Aug 18, 2002 at 01:23:51PM +0200, Daniël Boeije wrote: > Hello, > > is there a mode B(Bot) to mark bots in IRCu? There should be one, its a good idea. This mode should be a user mode that can only be set with the USER command (to avoid abuse by tricking newbies into using it). Bots that are spotted and do not use it should be kill targets (to motivate owners to use it). The bots then could get special privileges (another reason for owners to use it) and special restrictions. -- Carlo Wood <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
