The move towards moderated channels

[CometBaby]

Due to flooders and trolls, more-and-more channels are becoming moderated full time .. as is ours.

This means we do not need to set as many bans because we can accomplish most of our goals by using devoice.

Would we need, is a global devoice .. it would work like a shitlist, but instead of banning, it would devoice. I guess one could call it ShitVoice?

I am accomplishing this now with scripts on my client, but would love it if the bot could do it for me. Is there any chance this feature could be incorporated into the bot?

Thanks

P.S. I have a very large and highly active channel on efnet (#politics) which we have owned for about 10 years (no easy feat on efnet). It has been moderated full time for about 3 years. If you ever plan to add features for moderated channels, you really should contact me. I have experience in this area and know what is needed. I also have a lot of very good and original ideas for scripts for moderated channels, but no ability to write them myself.

AFAIK you have delayed autovoice on #politics; if that is scripted, all you need to do is to incorporate a simple flag check in your script:

Code: Select all

if {![matchattr $handle q]} {
   # voice that user only if not +q (global quiet flag)
}

and then create +q user record for "shitvoiced" users, adding hostmasks to it as necessary

On what basis would you be actually devoicing them? so they are unable to speak in a moderated (+m) room -- because we would have to bind on those specific triggers. Try pasting me your mIRC coded script, maybe I can give you a similar output in TCL.
