Party Bots
| 
Feb 3 06:36 UTC 2003 |
Lately a few users have been running "party bots" in 'party'. These
bots are very uneducated, and are very annoying. These bots also tie
up a tty port that could be used by someone else. I think there should
be some way to stop bots, other than :ignore srihai.

(yeah, that krj bot is a real bore too. we should ban bots so we can
have more ttys for good users like mnb, ghj, ttt, jackv20, jl, germ06,
genocide and senna.)

I've long suggested blocking the IP addresses of (ab)users who run 'bots
or otherwise harass others. It's not like we don't know who they are.
Grex is a medium for communication between people. 'Bots don't belong.
If someone wants to run a 'bot, let them run party on their own system
and allow people to telnet in to talk to it.

It's a nice idea, but difficult to implement.
We already have the problem blocking persistent vandals coming in from
different IP addresses because of the random nature of ISP assignment of IP
addresses.

The people running bots are currently
"srihai" ran by Ryan Antkowiak (ryan) coming from 141.219.83.248
"pu" ran by Ernie Allen Hershey (caspre) coming from 209.196.48.203
There was also "corky" ran by Anthony Schneider (styles) which was
coming from 64.81.195.185, but is now gone!

The bots are idiotic. But as long as we're not falling short of tty's for
regular reasons (are we?) I don't see a reason to ban them. There's always
":ignore". And besides, its entertaining to see people try to engage srihai
in conversation. And isn't that what party is all about "entertainment". Its
not like the system is being vandalised.

I think if people want to run bots, run them in different channels, if
people want to play with them, they will goto that channel, as they did
with corky!

We're not running short of ptys. As for the bots, unless they get truly
annoying I figure they're just an art project of sorts. I've done some rather
annoying things here on occasion too, playing with the technology of text
discussions.

I think that if you wish to run a bot on grex, run it in a different
channel, other than the "party" channel!

corky: hey jlamb
pu: somewhere neil odonnell is wiping his brow
corky: What the hell? Is it set to take out every line I ever said
on
M-Net?
srihai: Come and join the collective!
corky: He drives a big truck now.
pu: Do people know you have freckles everywhere?
pez: eww
corky: close
pu: i agree. the average american is fat, lazy, and dumb. Not
surprisingly, the most egregious violators are people from
Wisconsin.
The men there all have big beer-brat-cheese guts and no jaw
lines.
The women are sporting aprons of fat and look like they're
shoplifting watermelons in their back pockets. What foul
people...
corky: fuck for you>? No thank you, sir.
pu: I'd love to go out with you, but I have to stay home and see
if I
snore.
corky: at emu
pu: my boss is using 3 frames
corky: hola
pu: ryan is ignoring/filtering
corky: Hi.
pu: Peter's hungry, time to eat lunch.
corky: since apache for windows doesn't include any log rotation
functionality - at least it didn't with 1.3.12
pu: microsoft write is stupid
corky: i wanna play my guitar
pu: Yow! I'm having a quadrophonic sensation of two winos alone
in a
steel mill!
corky: asl michale
pu: head is from the LWP
corky: mother fucking crap computer
pu: meanwhile, msi is releasing new offerings in the European
market
based on NVIDIA's NV28 part. The DirectX 8.1 cards won't hurt
ATI's
high-end, but it is hoped that they'll cut into the midrage-
to-value
sector. While details are slim, the 4800 is actually just an
AGP
8X-enabled 4400 with nView support, so it won't outperform
the 4600
despite it's higher number.
corky: er, ;)
munkey:
corky: not merely brilliant, jacki. *Truth*.
<srihai is a wabbot>
pu: sadly, it is
corky: Hey can you mail me cause I got to get off.

Now there is a bot on grex party, that links m-net and grex party
together. Don't we want to keep the two seperate?

That's a clever idea. I'm not saying it should be done, but it's clever.

I would not object to any bots what so ever, if they were not in the
main 'party' channel. If bots are in the main party channel, they
should be "splatted"!
