Can any help with a script that will ban or kick anyone messaging the bot
with certain exceptions....i think this may be a good script for banning/kicking certain types of part/join spam bots that msge everyone either onjoin or when they connect and for unauthorised attempts to access the bot.
I'd code that for you, it's 3 lines only, but I'm currently reconsidering that kind of stuff, I am inclined to think that we should cultivate a reasonable and fair eggdrop usage patterns, so I'd probably no more help implementing tasks that are, IMHO, lame or/and unfair to those less fortunate (for not having ops)
Spam messages from random bots and drones (whose nicks aren't registered 99.9% of the time) can be avoided by simply using the umode +R on bahamut and mostly other IRCd's. (/mode <yournick> +R) So people with unregistered nicks or unidentified nicks will not be able to message you then and you will get a raw error from the IRCd.
As for mass join clones, fast join/parts aka revolving door try a script I made ago sometime. You can find it on egghelp's TCL archive under the name of "Mass Clone Join/Part and Revolving Door Protection".

so its not possible to do just what i asked...i.e. kick/ban anyone msging the bot with the exception of owners...these COULD be spammers but also could be illegal attempts to acces the bot....??
