I've noticed that there isn't a generalized thread for theoretical updates, so I've created my own thread. Apologies if I have overlooked something. 1) For some reason, TriviaHost has stopped whispering the question when a person enters the channel. I don't know why, but it's become really annoying. 1.5) Also, if it gets fixed (I don't know if it was intentional, either), perhaps an added feature should be added giving the most recent hint, and how many hints have been given so far. If no hints, then just say "0". 2) Allow people other than moderators to be able to use the .rank function. If someone is ranked, and they know what their rank is, but don't know who's ahead of them, or by how many points, it can get frustrating for someone to get 300 points, but have their rank unchanged, and not know how many hundreds (or thousands?) more points they need to move up. 3) I don't understand the glitch where when two people tie, it duplicates their name in the high scores, but please fix it. In the month of September, Gorasher was apparently on the high score list twice.
Thanks.

Let me first welcome you with a huge exalt! LOL! We did do some of these things intentionally. As far as #1 goes, I will discuss this with Chalupa and see if it would be a good idea and possible do bring some of these things back without it being a big deal.
#2 might be doable.
#3 Being that Chalupa programmed this bot himself, it's a little more complex than you might think. He does work a lot and has other projects that he is really busy with at this time. I will talk to him though and see if its doable. I will say, always look at the higher score. That will always be the onle I post in the top 10 scores.

LOL thanks! Okay. These are just suggestions, and I'm in no way demanding that any of these things actually happens, it's just stuff that I've thought (for a LONG time) would be helpful.
Thanks!

I changed the bot to only whisper people with at least 1 access. The reason is because people from Clan Triv were going a bunch of /rejoin's and flooding out the bot with the whispers. This fixed the problem.
We could look into giving people with level 1 access to rank.
Last, the rank issue is a complicated one. Actually, making the bot rank was complicated too. I could probably fix it, but never got around to it.

Can some of the regulars get level 1 access, please?

Another thing: Could it be possible to remove the case-sensitivity of TheTriviaHost? I understand that it'd be a bit difficult, but actually, it's inconvenient for more than just using the score function. I know that Battle.net doesn't allow multiple case-variations on the same name, so the person named Boozledorf is the same as boozledorf. However, for some reason, when I'm on StarCraft, it's with a capital 'b', but on Diablo, it's a lower case 'b'. As trivial (no pun intended) as that might sound, it can get rather annoying if I'm trying to play Diablo, while still keeping my 2600+ points for this month. Again, as with everything I mention, this isn't a demand (it'd be rather silly of me to try, really), it's just a suggestion for a possible update some time in the future.
Thanks!
(If the programming for this is anything like that of Java or Visual BASIC .Net (the programming languages that I've learnt), then wouldn't doing this be a simple case of using the .toLowerCase() function? Then again, I don't know the language of the bot, so...)

He means for the username...and he's right. It's actually a pretty easy fix...So if I find the time, I'll make it.
