nice script demond .. are we using sockets here?

I think I will stick with a dedicated bot though .. it seems a little bit more manageable.

thinking now the only way to do it is keep the hub bot op'd, and setup some sort of system where it will accept a privmsg ban from a non op'd bot, and set the ban globally (via the botnet) and in the channel locally with a +b mode make it do a newchanban, then pushmode the +b .. Suggestions on how t...

just to let you know, i tried the "sticky" trick with newchanban, the op'd bot recognises it as a sticky ban and keeps it in the internal ban list that way, but doesnt actually go as far as setting the +b mode

the reason behind it is because a lot of spam on the network at the moment involves a compromised host joining then parting the channel with the /names list and spamming everyone from outside of the channel. I was hoping to have the non-op'd bot sit in a few other large channels to grab these nicks ...

if it unsticks after 5 seconds though .. wont the bot then just -b the ban? or would the ban expire later on?

im thinking if i cant get it to work via that method, i might perhaps make the non-op'd bot /msg the op'd bot with some sort of command to set a ban .. i just figured botnet userfile sharing would have done it for me

it receives it, and will activate the ban IF someone on the channel matches it. I want it to set the +b in the channel anyway, even if noone in the channel matches it. So, looking at .bans all, I see the bans there. But it just wont set the +b mode in the channel, which is where I am stuck. Doesnt s...

yeah, the bans share over userfile sharing, however the bot issuing the 'global ban' isnt opped, so the ban is sharing to the op'd bot, but the op'd bot isnt actually setting the +b mode in the channel

figured id use the forum to try and answer my own questions :P seems like this is a tough one to answer .. so ive worked out with newchanban, there's an option you can append "sticky" to it, and it will make the ban sticky .. so could i just, within the same proc, run a timer from there th...

dont know if it helps, but i figured i could set some sort of a timer up where it sets the ban as a sticky for X minutes ... just for the purpose of the op'd bot to actually +b the ban

running the netbots script here, just a simple botnet of three bots. I am primarily using the botnet to catch spambots, so I have the hub bot deop'd in the main channels its trying to protect. It also sits in other channels it is not trying to protect just for the purpose of catching spam. It will s...
