hi.

i'm getting this error when kicking someone with a } or a { char in their nick. is there a way to fix this?

[13:15:24] <botnick> [13:10] }nick{ kicked from #chan by op: test.
[13:15:26] <botnick> [13:10] Tcl error in script for 'timer3797':
[13:15:26] <botnick> [13:10] extra characters after close-brace

is it bot-related or tcl-related do you think?

Its a tcl thing.

Theres a post about three down (Help!! I think) that mentions about tcl scripts choking on special characters, and a link to a site that mentions how to resolve them. Basically they have to be escaped - Its sloppy scripting not to.

[EDIT] Its the kickban problem thread.

thanks again, photon.

i'll look into the previous postings and see if i can find something useful.
maybe i'll just get some smartass kid to do it for me, for voice or something.
