I have decided that I am going to create a bot for the #FileFront chat room on GameSurge.
Some people might be familiar with SpamServ. SpamServ is a Gamesurge bot that you can have on your channel. This bot will then scan all incoming messages for advertisements, flooding, bad words, etc.
Well, we tried using spamserv.. but our users would legitimately do stuff that would make SpamServ kick the user and so on.
So I had the idea of making a FileFront bot that would act like SpamServ, but it'd be less touchy.
Also, it wouldn't scan messages coming from "trusted users". A user would be considered trusted based on a certain score. The score would have factors such as time spent in channel, lines sent to channel, times kicked, et cetera.
Plus, we'd have a trusted voice (where it is manually added) where the voice could use !kick and !ban.
I am going to make a few versions of this bot to see what comes out better:
one in mIRC scripting (the language is limited, so the bot will probably suck)
PHP (I love this language, but it'll consume a lot of server resources to keep the bot connected)
C++ (I barely know C++.. :()
