that's a poor excuse for people to essentially go out of their way and code chatbots that spam servers. like having a bot that feeds data into the console is fine because it gives information and doesn't spam everyone else and shove it down their throat. but the bots that use like 'whois' or other chat triggered bullstuff are the scum of the earth and exist purely for bragging rights or to piss others off.
if you want to make a bot that is educational/informational, at least make it like a webpage that someone can access on their own, not a chat bot that anyone can essentially force to spam just by typing something in. roulette bots, greetbots and id bots all fall into this category of spammy bullstuff.
bot is a little bit different because it just joins random servers and looks around randomly. it doesn't spam the server but its existence is purely superficial and it has absolutely no purpose there. its better off being banned so that someone who will actually participate in the game can fill in that player slot
woah there cowboy slow down
let's say you need another slot for your full server (lol doubt) or if bot gets annoying, if you say bot leave (as a super admin) he will auto join another random server
btw the only time he should ever be kicked for taking up room is if the server is full, there was a similar argument related to afk kickers being pointless unless it kicks when the server is full
bot joins servers, collects data, and if people spam his whois functionality that's up to the people spamming it, as anybody has the ability to stop loving using it
I could always add a timeout period to that but essentially if people spam it that's their problem, they must be really bored or just trying to intentionally piss off the host. so THEY should be punished
future features will make it so twitch can control the bot's movements so essentially it will be partially human controlled
you can stop being jealous or whatever the forget your dismissive stuff you've been saying on this topic is, and try to be a little more open minded
i mostly agree with this honestly- bot just wastes player slots and is a waste of a key in my honest eyes. it's a cool experiment.. but why? i mean you didn't even make it- pecon did, and using the cleverbot API to chat isn't anything new and honestly it's annoying and just stuffs up the server, and using it for a ID/name repository when we already have daprogs makes no sense at all
It was a commission. So, yeah, I have some form of credibility over it seeing as how I bought it and the key also belongs to me.
And I can have my own key depository that doesn't require a script or something to be downloaded, heck, even a website, to be used. It's all preference, people need to be more open minded.
