bot autoposting channel modes and info every 5 minutes.

i have a precompiled bot from a shell provider and after setting up the settings and starting my bot i get channel mode and info spam every 5 minutes through the partyline. it looks like...

<eggdropbot> [21:20] @#channel (+tnkl password 14) : [m/10 o/10 h/0 v/0 n/0 b/0 e/0 I/0]

i have looked all through the config file for timers based on a 5 min setting, and i do not have much other tcl scripts. if anyone would help to get rid of this, i would greatly appreciate it.

---
i hadn't been able to get my bot into a pass protected channel until i posted the ".chanset #dmitb chanmode +k password" command, and ever since i did that, the spam has occured.

so i figure that it must be something to do with chanmodes, is there a way to clear the channel modes from my bots registry somehow? i can't -set a mode because the bot gets in fights with the other bots ...

+k
-k
+k
-k etc.

but if there was a way to neutralize or clear out the modes... i would greatly appreciate it. then again i would be back to trying to join a pass protected channel, but im sure i can find an alternate way. the 5min spam is just really irritating.

In order to get you bot to join a password-locked channel you need

.chanset #channel need-key putserv "join #channel <key-here>"

instead of adding +k to the chan's chanmode setting (which means the bot will reset +k everytime it's unset).
