I would like to have a script, that does the following:
If a user joins a channel (eg a supportchannel where a supporter does not pay much attention for), he might get the ability to type !call after at least 1 minute (maybe setable) idling the channel, then the bot will call all available users having usermode +h and above on that channel. Maybe extended: the users can do !available and !off to let the bot know they can be highlighted or not. Also it should be protected against abusive usage. So every *!*@host has only 2 (or setable) tries to call and after that he/she must wait at least 1hour (setable). Maybe there can be a setting to make !call only every minute (settable) available so that not 20 people join and do 20 calls within 1 minute... (but this script is thought for less-activity channels so I think last point must not be neccesary)
For example it would look like that:
I really could not find any similar somewhere. But I think such a script would be very useful for some IRC-channels. I'm used to be in many channels and I dont even check every activity on them. So a "botted" highlighting would be very nice.[9:00] +++ helplessuser joins #helpme

I'm not that TCL-coder but I would and could test your scripts, help writing the notices/actions/messages or translate them. Also I could give theoretical advices ^^ Or a bit financial props (but arent we a social network and not a financial one?
)Thanks so far.
