RTB Development

[Mega-Bear]

Mod Resources would probably be an on-site thing, right? I could imagine idiots seeing it as part of regular Add-Ons, and getting pissed "I downloaded the tree, where is it?!" without realizing it was just a resource to be made into something else...

With a sufficient paragraph-long summary at the top of the page, I think it would work out fine. :P

People don't read paragraph-long summaries. If I ever get around to doing something like this it won't be hooked into the in-game system.

Ephi, will the new, "Chat" feature that you've implemented in RTB 4 come with a votekick function?

The problem is that if it has votekick, people will deliberately abuse it to harass users.

But if it doesn't, won't it just use the same anti-spam techniques that Blockbot uses? (Which are somewhat restrictive :/)

Definitely not. BlockBot will be present in the new public rooms. I'm not sure how she's restrictive - just don't spam or use caps lock excessively and you're fine.

I type somewhat fast, and whenever I want to talk in global IRC I have to manually slow down my sentences to avoid hitting the flood limit and getting kicked.

[Ephialtes]

That's not BlockBot. It clearly said who you were kicked by (*.centralchat.net).

That said, you do talk excessively. Try not talking so much.

After updating to v4 RC 1, I was greeted with this nasty little bugger.

(I restarted to see if it was just this once - nothing changed)

I had many friends previously, just so we have that clear.
Am I the only one, or has the update caused any others to lose their list of friends?
