irc bots on tilde.chat
you might have seen some bots lurking about in chat. this page is intended to be a common place for documentation.
bots should be well-behaved and efficient with system resources. if you see a bot that is not, please remind the botmaster about this and/or notify an admin. naughty bots can make the system less enjoyable for everyone, and we all have to work together to police them.
# rules and etiquette for tilde.chat irc botsplease set usermode +B on your bot on connect to identify it as a bot.
this is also documented in rfc-2 .
your bot must respond to !botlist with the following information:
your system username (as creator/botmaster) - so we can contact you if the bot misbehaves
one line description of the bot's functionality
list of the bots public commands
be conservative about automatically re-connecting to the server or channel.
if your bot's code is not yet stable, keep it in the #bots channel and do testing there.
don't join #chaos or unless you want your bot to be spammed to hell and back.
all bots should also adhere to the following RFC specification: RFC 2: Standardising IRC Bot Behavior .
