Chalupa, I was wondering if you could maybe make me and some of the other Non-Troublemakers, aka NavY_Ceals, Hypothraxter, and maybe others, un-bannable. It's really frustrating, for me anyway, when I leave SC on and go to do other stuff and come back only to see I've been banned. Also, it's not like I, or any of the others I mentioned will do anything to abuse the power, if you so choose to bestow it upon us. It would just be a great convienence to have that, so dumb people don't come around and type .voteban when nobody else is around and ban me, or others. Let me know.

lol, ignore this everyone, this isn't useful, just a little fun at lost's expense. For one i'm sure the nonbanning thing for some people is a good idea, personally i don't just leave my name in the channel, so it doesn't effect me much. But just in regards to you, lostpeon, getting banned ;D ahah i know you've been banned by triviahost "for spamming" ahhah you seem to attrack bannings lol.
Heheh NavYCeals

This is a good question. I originally "safelisted" most of the regulars from being banned when I first enabled the votekick and voteban features. Several people took advantage of the protection and started trying to ban others for no reason and caused trouble knowing they couldn't be banned. I also noticed these people trying to voteban the bots which they could enter without being banned (because they were protected). Obviously, I have protected both bots so they can't be banned, but by other people seeing these users trying to ban the bots, they tried as well (thinking it was funny) which caused people to be banned.
With that being said, if the "regular" users can not only behave, but are willing to help "moderate" the channel (since i'm not always around), then I have no problem giving them protection. The bots keep logs of all activity, so if someone starts abusing this power, then I will remove them from the safelist.
I am aware of LostPeon being banned by people when he was afk- which sucks. I will add LostPeon to the safelist and any others who request they be added (if they are deemed regular users). Don't ask if you have 20 points. I'm sure people will let me know who takes advantage.
Also, the Q: phrase which as most of you know, causes auto - banning, is for good reason. Many times in reviewing the logs, I see people that tried to enter their own trivia bots into the channel. OnlineGaming of course banned them immediately after the first question. Without this turned on, I have seen people run other trivia bots and it makes the game non-playable. That's why Q: is a banned phrase.

I'm trying to find away to stop people from being banned from only 1 vote. The bot is not set up that way right now. Here is an example from today of someone saying "Hi" and then being banned. I don't think anyone noticed the ban vote since only the person who started the vote actually voted. Another option might be to change the color when someone starts a ban vote, so it's more obvious. Or I can only give the command to certain people. Anyways, here is the log. And this person seems to ban people for no reason all the time. Maybe someone should ban him?? [8:18:07 PM] <Po0o> hi every 1 [8:18:17 PM] <TriviaHost> Q: Music: Name the Artist/Band that recorded this song: I See Your Smile [#] (Morejon/Secada) [8:18:19 PM] <BaCkEr-bLiTz81> .voteban po0o [8:18:19 PM] <OnlineGaming> 30-second VoteBan vote started.

hmm ya the banning seems to be somewhat of a problem, i was lookin at that person who said "hi every1" and then got banned. Everyone else who's posted here i don't see that as being so bad (lol too bad guys), but for the person who just found out about the channel and got banned right off... Well that sucks because they might just not come back because of that.

Hmm, i got banned today for trying to kick the onlinegaming bot. rabid_gecko was banned earlier, and I felt this was unfair. I was told that if onlinegaming left the channel, then everyone would be unbanned, so I figured I'd give it a shot. Obviously, you know what happened to me when I tried that.
Anyway, I was wondering if you could reinstate me.
Thanks.

Okay, well it's hard to feel sorry for becstasy since you tried to kick the moderating bot out of the channel. You have to agree, that wasn't real smart.
I do agree that some people are banned that shouldn't be. Navy_Ceals had the power to unban and I will add LostPeon for that ability. That way, you can always whisper one of those two if you feel you were banned unfairly. I hope to find a way to make the bot require more than 1 yes vote to ban someone. Right now, it just takes the majority even if it's just 1 vote for yes.
I unbanned everyone at this point that was banned today.

Although the banning situation can be bad sometimes, it is a needed function. But I have an idea that if it's possible may solve alot of problems. I think that if someone trys to ban other players more than three times during the duration of their time in OP TriviaHost they themselves will be banned. I don't know if this is possible or even practical. But it is a thought that I had. Thanks chalupa for making this all possible and for all the time you put into this. ;D ;D ;D

I agree with the immunity, although dterror (or someone else using his account) abused his power last time.
Also, Chunk-E-ToastII as well as all the variants of S_W_A_T_S go in for the sole purpose of banning. It's good that now the bot counts the number of votebans someone makes.

I agree with hypothraxter. Although I am new, I have also seen those guys banning people just to ban them. Those SWAT guys are always trying to cause trouble.
Just my 2 Cents
