Operator: GeorgeMoney
Automatic or Manually Assisted: Kinda manually assisted. (based on a trigger, see below)
Programming Language(s): PHP, self-written framework
Function Summary: Updating status changers based on IRC.
Edit period(s) (e.g. Continuous, daily, one time run): As needed
Edit rate requested: N/A
Already has a bot flag (Y/N): No
Function Details: It basically updates peoples' status changers based on actions on irc. I know that this has been proposed before by werdna but cannot find the brfa or anything. And before I get into explaining this, the bot is very hard to abuse: The channel in which it listens (#GeorgeMoney-status on freenode) is +r which means that un-registered-with-nickserv users can't join, +R - people unregistered with nickserv cant talk (or change nick or do anything) (like if they joined as an identified user but un-identified while inside), and the bot's auth methods are cloak based. So someone who nicks to GeorgeMoney and tries to abuse it and mess with my status will not be able to do anything because they dont have my cloak. And last but not least, it kicks users who arent registered with it. (So basically you need to be registered with nickserv and the bot). The new registration system is: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:GeorgeMoneyBot-status#How_to_register. See the new security features in my comment.
Sorry if that was really long :)
And BTW If I decide (with the chanop's permission, of course) to move this to a public channel (people will still have to ask me to add them to the bot), I will come back here for a re-approval.
