I tried running any of the VMS irc's, and all of them complain about the
lack of the MultiNet shared library.  Obviously, either my machine doesn't
have it, or I know nothing about VMS.  (The latter I am sure is true, at any
rate.  I'm a UNIX kinda guy, but you just HAFTA do something with all those
spare DEC boxen, eh?)

The machine I'm using *does* have socket libraries, so I know it isn't 
impossible, but apparently we're not using the same library.

Any clues are welcome, and will be judged on creativity and mauve content.

You shouldn't do this. If auto-kick meets auto-rejoin, you can
generate lots of network traffic for no result at all. If you get
kicked out, stay out. We had to add a new mode (+b) to IRC 2.7 just
because people were obnoxious about joining channels zillions of time
just to get kicked off again.

When you're writing a well-behaved automaton, it's important to make
sure that there aren't any situations in which it will start spewing
lots of messages. This is one such situation.

Something like that, but it has to be done by hand:

/mode #channel +b kemo!*@*         
/mode #channel +b *!nissan@*  
/mode #channel +b *!*@cheshire.oxy.edu

As shown above, you can ban someone by nick, login, machine, or a combination.

/mode #channel +b 

will list the current bans.  They remain active until the channel no longer
exists, or they are removed by /mode #channel -b whatever.

They are recognized by 2.7 servers only.   If you're +b'd, and using 2.7,
you'll get

*** #whatever: Sorry, cannot join channel.

(BTW, i suggest changing this in the next server version, as it is currently
exactly the same message generated by a /mode +i.  how about:

#whatever: Sorry, an invite is required 
#whatever: Sorry, cannot join channel, +b *!xxx@yyy is in effect.
)

    As far as I know, version 1.3 is the latest.  There have been a few
minor bug fixes in it since it was initially released, including the
invite bug mentioned above (it was a simple typo in the code.)  You can
get the latest "fixed" version by anonymous FTP from

    Ftp.informatik.uni-oldenburg.de  (134.106.1.9)

and probably from most of the usual FTP sites where IRC related stuff is
kept.

If it doesn't rejoin, it is prevented from doing its function, namely, as
a policeman/bodyguard.   Some bots, such as mine and DemoN's, exist mainly
to prevent masskicks/hostile takeovers.  As they don't talk, the only
reason anyone would kick them is if they are attempting to do something 
evil...

Mine will send one JOIN line after being kicked.  If it is kicked again,
that will cause a loop.  However, a mode +i will keep it off.  It only
sends JOIN after being kicked or PING'd.

It depends on what the purpose of the bot is, really... if it's there for
security (such as preventing masskicks), then it has a legitimate reason
to auto-rejoin.  Bots that just talk and irritate people, though, should
stay out.

+b is for the human assholes. :)

Distribution: alt
Organization: M.I.T. Artificial Intelligence Lab.



I am currently living in a place where I can conveniently use the facilities
of a nearby university, and I am grateful for that. However, the interests
of the department are so different from mine that it appears unlikely that
I can find anyone to attend some lectures I was thinking of giving. Indeed,
almost all of the mathematical conversations I have had for almost two years
have been over the networks (I haven't been here for two years, but the
situation was essentially the same at the last place I was).

I am now toying with the idea of giving the seminar by means of a program
such as IRC. I don't know anything about IRC per se, but what I have
heard makes it sound like it could do what I want, more or less, which is
the following:
(1) You want to make it open to the "public", i.e. anyone wanting to attend
    the seminar should be able to log in to do so.
(2) You don't want an arbitrary time limit on the meeting.
(3) It would be nice to be able to save a transcript of the seminar.
(4) It would be nice to be able to feed previously prepared files into
    the discussion.
(5) One should be able to control the scrolling of stuff as it goes by,
    so it doesn't go by too quickly.

One could use TeX notation to discuss specific mathematical formulas or
equations or diagrams.

I don't think this would be hard to implement. However, I am probably
not competent to do it.

If anyone wants to pursue this idea further, I would be glad to hear from
them. I have a number of questions about the details of how it would be
done. For example:

(A) If one wants to participate in such a seminar, does one have to have
    any special software installed on one's machine ? Or is enough that
    some host site has the software ?
(B) If the answer to (A) is affirmative, does the software have to installed
    gloabally on ths system or is it enough for it to be installed in one's
    own directories ?
(C) Have seminars like this been tried before ? If so, how did they work out
    and what are the guidelines for running them ? For example, is there
    some kind of moderator ?
(D) Questions I should have asked but out of ignorance did not...
